Beetle spin!

[Yaker]

Is it me,or has the beetle spin been shoved to the bottom of the tackle box? I have caught countless crappie and gills on the beetle spin,and the y still are a large part of my arsenal.Maybe I missed it,but I hear about many go to lures,but the beetle spin seems to be all but forgotten.

I fish baits similar to the BS all the time. I just fish 'em without the spinner.

Me and my two youngest boys whooped up on some nice fish over the weekend on a BS. Good times. I did replace the standard twin tail grub with one of Crappie Farmers swimming grub tails and that was the right call in the stained water. I like them alot for casting for Crappie, Bluegill, Bass, and White Bass -- they all eat a Beetle Spin!

One of the best all time pond baits. IMO

My go-to bait for bull 'gills...my favorite is a 1/16oz in catapla fish with a 5'5" U/L rod and reel on 4lb line.

Anyone who forgets about them should get em back out!!! I make my own

It never made it into my tackle box ... and everyone that's fished with me & used it, was outfished by me using a 1/16oz marabou Roadrunner. I prefer the Roadrunner because there's less chance of it getting tangled in the line when casting.
