Any condition,I've used jig heads on beetle spins for years.A lot of choices are preferences more than necessities,catching crappie or gills on a variety of lures,sometimes over a short period of time often proves this.One instance comes to mind,I anchored near a log jamb, tossing a shiney Hiney,I wore the crappie out.
After several crappie,I broke off, rather than retie I grabbed a back up pole that had a beetle spin with a black jig head and a black twisty tail 2" grub.I tossed the beetle spin in the same area,letting it swim slowly back toward me along side the same log jamb.
The bight was just as ferocious,as it was with the S/H,even though the two baits differed.Nothing is a sure thing,but why not switch it up,the results may just surprise you.One more point,IMHO,I wonder if tossing the same lure multiple times might in a weird way bore the fish,switching up seems to re energize their interest.......sometimes.
