I use a bait called the fish-n-spin it is a willow leaf blade and tube jig combo. I feel it truly out fishes a beetle spin. I have caught bluegill and crappie in four different states and Canada. The website is Fish-N-Supply, Home of the Fish-N-Spin. Try them I know they will produce for you. I have found tipping them with a crappie nibble to be very effective.
