jacob2000 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 What kind of conditions would you throw a beetlespin in? Quote
chelboed Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Any. I caught them all day long at a farm pond on a sunny day with a black/yellow stripe 3". The only fish I caught the other day when it was windy, murky, 44deg, rainy...was a 19"bass on a 2.5"white with a red dot beetle spin. Nothing else would produce. My brown tube spinner was my second most producing bait all last year...just under a green pumpkin Yum F2. Quote
desmobob Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I wouldn't be without a selection of Beetle Spins. Fish love 'em, and so do I! I always have a light or ultra-light spinning rod and a box of Beetle Spins in the boat. Tight lines, Bob Quote
carlm01 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Haven't tried the beetlespins yet, but just ordered a couple of 3/8 oz underspins , I understand them to be pretty good as well..... Quote
Josh Smith Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I keep a 1/2 ounce Beetle Spin in with my other heavy spinners. I've always had a lighter Beetle Spin on hand. If I recall, it and some panfish jigs were my first lures. These were all recommended by Dad when I was a youngster and wanted to move away from live bait. Come to think of it, the Beetle Spin is one lure I've had constantly. It's the one that I have absolute faith in to perform. Orange with a black stripe is a mandatory color to have. Josh Quote
chelboed Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I stopped by a new pond on the way home from work today. Got out the 2" 1/4 oz White / black spots and caught 20x fish in 36 minutes. Nothing big, but tons of fun! Went home, mowed the yard, and came back with my light baitcast setup with 4# line and an 1/8 oz white/red dot and caught another 18x in 30 minutes. Quote
bitsandbass Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 What color do you guys recommend? These are all the colors available at Bass Pro. Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted May 31, 2017 Super User Posted May 31, 2017 Blast from the past! I like the Black Yellow Stripes and the White Red Dot. Instead of replacing the grub body, which others have done in this thread, I just spray some scent on it. Seems to work better but it could just be in my head. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 31, 2017 Super User Posted May 31, 2017 Beetle Spins larger than 1/4 ounce use to be available . Those are the ones I liked . I see now that there is a larger one targeted for salt water . They look more like the ones I used . I caught big bass on them in the Mississippi river and farm ponds . Quote
