My Best Fishing Lure For Bass

[Eternal Angler]

Well after hours of trying to figure out how to login with my username and password, I just realized I'd try my email instead of my username, dohhh! Luckily it worked! I must say the look of the new site and forums is amazing. Really soothing on the eyes, I really like it!

Anyways, getting down to business. Well after years of blasting largemouth bass and smallmouth bass with this bait, I figured I'd release my best fishing lure to the public. Not many use it, you've probably seen it in the fishing store but never thought it would catch much bass. Coming stock out of the box it really doesn't! What lure am I talking about, the "Beetle Spin!"

My own idea to modify the lure has turned the Beetle Spin has turned it into one of the best fishing lures for bass, "the best for me." So what does the modification consists of? Well just taking out the old silver tear drop spinner and putting on a gold winner leaf spinner blade. I'm telling you this lure works! For more thorough review of the bait checkout my YouTube video.

The stock jig head on the Beetle spin is good for 3-5 feet of water. If you want to go 5-8 feet highly suggest going up to the next size jig head weight. A heavier jig head can make all the difference in the world, depending where the smallies and largemouths are hanging out.

Replace the double tail grub with a regular 3" or 4" grub, or a baby fluke to and it is even more deadly on river smallies, my first smallie over 20" came on a modified beetle spin.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely have to try that. I really can't wait to get out fishing this year. I would be out already, but I've been battling chronic sinusitis for the whole winter. I really hope I can knock this cold out so I get get some fishing in!

I've been making my own willow beetle spins for several yrs and it's my main bait for wading in the summer. I use a 1/8oz jig head, #2 gold willow blade, teeny brush hogs or flukes for a trailer. Killer bait for small creeks and rivers in my area.

Man, Beetle Spins have been in my arsenal like forever, there´s so much stuff you can rig on the jighead and modification of the blades that the selection is never ending, of course, you´ll never see me fishing with one cuz they don´t work at all .
