The forgotten Beetle Spin - SenkoSam - 07-09-2019

You know how you all of a sudden decide to fish a lure you haven't used for years and have no clue why? Well, last year I decided to try the Beetle Spin one day and found it does catch fish! In fact I tried it again yesterday , but this time I tried a Crappie Magnet grub as the lure under the blade and caught sunnies and crappie.

These curl tail grubs also worked:

....along with this hybrid grub:

and my minnow grub creation:

This was the original lure:

I would have thought that the stiff wire harness would detract fish from biting. Guess not seeing as how the lure has caught over 30 panfish.
