I had chunked a beetle Spin till my arm fell off -- then removed them from my tackle.. I have made 3 trips with a friend that uses a modified version... Spinner removed and a larger willow blade replaces it.. He caught 5 fish to my one using crickets-- mine were mostly bream dinks while a lot of his bluegills were 8 inches. when I started smearing Slab Sauce on the crickets big Bream started slamming my bait. He convinced me that bait will work
