I have something similar to this but it has a small yellow perch. However, it has caught dozens of small mouths and some pan fish. 🎣 Also the ones I get are set up right out of the package 📦. Thank you for the post. Keep 🎣 fishing. ✌ peace...

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Good luck!!

[@Mark-dx8rr]

There's an awful lot of truth in what you're saying about the Beetle Spin running diagonally. Im gonna try your modifications!! Thank You for the info,Sir!!

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Hey you're welcome! Good luck!!

[@jamest4659]

Thank you for the tips with beetlespin lures!

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

That's what this channel is all about! You're more than welcome!

[@Reeds.outdoor.adventures]

Cool idea. I just watched this and immediately did a mod but then used another and took it a step farther. I cut the loop a little longer and bent it around the wire a little so it works like a fast snap..

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

That's also a good idea. I attach mine using the 12lb no knot fas-snaps with the main line, but doing the loop as a snap WOULD make it faster to change jigs on the same L-Arm.

[@Reeds.outdoor.adventures]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 exactly what I was thinking while looking at it. That way it’s a fast change of jigs AND if you hook into a bass it wouldn’t open up

[@PeggyParrow]

Good mod. For clear water when fish can see more detail !

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Give it a try ;)

[@scottlytton5328]

Good info. Thanks

Beetle Spins have been a go to lure for me for years! One of my favorite mods is use one with a tube jig.

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

That works well too. We used to put the blue tubes with white skirts on to catch black crappie. Around here, blue/white and black/chartreuse have always been the most popular tube jig colors.

[@DrFrankensteam]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 Look up Suick Curly Spin, giant Beetle Spin type lure for Musky!

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

@@DrFrankensteam interesting! We don't have musky here, but looks like a bass getter...

New subscriber, great video, thank you!!!

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Thank you for the subscription, and I'm glad you found the information useful, if there's anything you would like me to make a video on, just leave a comment :)

[@mpd_l_r]

I have noticed beetle spins turning sideways a little. Good point. I will say beetle spins catch everything so it's a risky mod IMO. Nice cideo

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

I haven't had any issue, but spinners made of cheap metal might possibly...

@@TheAverageFisherman99 I'm on my way rn to try it out in the creek. If you have any tips on top water frog hooksets, that would be helpful. I miss so many bass.

Oh nice! It works really well...good luck and catch a bunch!! I'll do a whole video on frogs because you asked :). I love top water frog fishing

I just subbed. Maybe we can colab from afar sometime! I like what you're doing. Keep it up, the algo will find you! 👊💯

I don't do this for popularity...I do it to help people out :)

[@cerebraltackle]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 that's what I like about your channel. That's what my channel started out to be, but people seem to like the tournament news more. I wanted mine to be about tackle and how-to's. My viewership had other intentions.🤣

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Well, you should just keep doing you my man. I don't let trolls and numbers affect my idea of what I want my channel to be.

[@cerebraltackle]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 the trolls don't really control my content. If you look at the numbers on my how-to's vs the news - they're worlds apart! Yes, there are trolls, I deal with in my own way. LOL

[@cerebraltackle]

Now, I can't believe I'm telling you this.... But instead of Johnson - try H&H Cajun Spin. Just look at the colors. You're welcome. Just remember to give me a little credit. 😁

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

I haven't noticed that brand at BPS...but I'll be on the lookout, and will definitely give you credit!

[@cerebraltackle]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 check out their site. It's a family owned business out of Louisiana...been around forever! In my opinion, their quality has maintained over Johnson's through the years. The bodies are softer as well.

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

I just made an order...told em by email that you referred me :)

[@cerebraltackle]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 thank you very much, I really appreciate that! They're good people, a true family run business. I grew up with their stuff in our local gas stations by lakes, in hardware stores and in bait shops. Their baits have been staples in our crappie and pond bags since day one. I'm you'll be happy with them. 😊

[@overcome8628]

I put frog plastic legs on them and have caught huge bass and drum.

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Never would have thought of that...

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

That's a good idea...

[@adastraperaspera7098]

Yaa, I got a Catfish on one. ehee

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

They'll catch anything feeding on minnows

[@BigpapamoneymanMVPtypebeat]

I’d kill a pike forsure if I tried that first tip

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Beetle spins are one of the most versatile lures period. They catch pretty much everything.

[@Zanzula1245]

I think I saw The Fish Yanker and Richard Gene the Fishing Machine suggest this

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Yep. I made this video bc my grandpa showed me this trick about 35 years ago and I've been doing it ever since.

[@Zanzula1245]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 can’t say I’ve had much luck with ‘em and I have a whole assortment of them never really caught anything with them I’ve had nibbles but that’s about it

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

On beetle spins? The real trick is finding the speed the fish want. If they're actively feeding, a beetlespin will tear em up.

[@Zanzula1245]

@@TheAverageFisherman99 thanks I’ll take that into consideration the next time I try them

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Another deadly tactic....reel in, pause, then twitch, then keep reeling.

[@ronuhlenhopp5819]

To reinforce the wire loop that's containing the jig, have you tried UV glue or epoxy to strengthen it? Ron U., NE Iowa

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

No. I haven't had a fish straighten out the loop yet to be honest.

[@tomnelson4527]

What size willow blade are you using. Thanks in advance.

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

On my smaller heads, a size 1 or 2. On the 1/16oz heads, it's a size 3 perforated blade.
