The 3" used to be a very common size available in multiple weights and colors many, many years ago, then they really pared down their selection. I used it a lot in the spring as a finesse type spinnerbait and did well on it. Good to see they are bringing it back to a degree, though I'm convinced they changed the original mold some, and have certainly limited color and blade options in the newer lineup. Yes I'm aware of that ? Down here we have Johnson, H&H, Betts, Cajun Lures, Berkley, & you can buy all the components necessary to build your own all at our local Walmart. Many rivers & bayous are off colored & these little spinnerbaits are killer! 1 Quote

I still have one of those old style 3/8th ounce lures . The body was bigger and the jig head was different .I used them a lot and caught some real nice fish with them . They had a crawdad color that i used the most . If they would bring them back I'd buy a dozen today . 3 Quote

Made for a great late winter/early spring spinner. 3 Quote

Super User scaleface Posted December 31, 2018 Super User Posted December 31, 2018 Heres a photo of the old style . The jig-head is more of a banana shape and the body is larger . 3 Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted December 31, 2018 Super User Posted December 31, 2018 This has worked for me in stained water. Mine is black/blue. You can reel it extremely slow. If you like willow leaf, I'd use a light spinnerbait so you have to reel it slowly to keep it down. https://www.sportsmans.com/fishing/hard-baits/spinner-baits/strike-king-tour-grade-night-spinnerbait/p/1289366?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmafhBRDUARIsACOKERO0CTp0M38DiW0zZWGL346X0T_fnuq47P18FiMVZjW6zSMoJa2Z1bcaAoK_EALw_wcB 2 Quote

Every time we get to talkin about these old baits, I get fired up about throwing them again. This spring, I'm packing some Beetlespins. 2 Quote
