Little beetle spins made for crappie are terrible for bass because the jig heads are too small  , they skip out of the mouth. There is not enough gap between the eye and the point .  I lost a lot of fish on them too. The big Bass Buster Beetle that Virgil Ward used a lot is not being made anymore. I just make my own.

 

Howdy,

Do you make your own  1/4 oz. 3 1/2" beetle spins black jig head with white eye body yellow with 4 black dots?

Maybe they were 3/8 oz. after reading other posts here. Because I was buying them in the 80's then they quit making them..although I did find them in the late 90's at a surplus store bought everyone they had each time I went in..

Then the sad day came when they also had no more...

If so do you sell the ones you make

Makes no sense to me why they quit making those..

No ,  I just assemble jigheds , the spinners and plastics . The plastics are not the Beetles , just grubs or something.

Just look up salt water beetle spin and you will see the bigger version.

Its just me, but I dont consider any spinning bait to be particularly weedless.   Sure it may not snag with the hook as often, but if/when the weeds get wrapped up in the spinner, it can still cause it stop functioning.

Yeah, spinnerbaits are more "woodless". Having them knock up against wood cover is one of the best ways to trigger a strike.
