Catch Panfish with A Beetle Spin 

Chris Been looking for new UL rod so picked up BPS Micro Lite rod after watching this video. Really like this little rod. I have had older one for several years and knew they held up. Had to also pick up a few 1/32 and 1/16 oz bettle spins while at local BPS. You really sparked my interest to use something i hadn't in years. Thanks!

I never considered watching a youtube channel about catching Bluegills. These videos make me so happy and my children love them also. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video and explanation and history of the Beetle Spin. I guess I need to add these to my arsenal too. Love the serenity and no weekend crowds. Those were some gorgeous Gills and White Bass. Panfishing is so amazing as we get into Summer. The colors on that Gill at 6:50 are stunning. Looks like it was a muggy and hot day but you got your Glimmet...(limit of Gills)! The trolling ending was perfect.

Oh yeah!!! Another great Panfishing video brother! The ever effective Beetle Spin! You hit the nail on the head by covering ease of use and affordability! Those were some beautiful catches! Thanks for sharing Chris!

Caught a 10 in bass in the creek by the house on the beetle today. Great vid.

I have a beetle spin I picked up finally. I'm wading a small river after work today. I hope I have it with my stuff in the truck to test it out! Excellent coverage of the Beetle Spin Chris! the best part you have the results to show how effective it is! Some beautiful big 'ol Bluegills 💪 7:40 fight on that white bass was awesome and the other as well. They put up a great fight! Heck yeah man, troll it going back to ramp, waste no time on the water!! Ended it on the LM. great video as always brother!

How would you compare the bass pro rod to a TFO in the same powe/action? Kinda been eyeballing them.

thanks for sharing

Another awesome video man!! Keep it going!

Perfect trolling example. I love Beetle Spins. I've also had some success with yellow.

Used beetle spin for years and still have some in my panfish tackle. They will catch all kinds of fish. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! The bettle spin is my # go to bait. You may want to try the trout magnet bodies on them, the Crappie 12:30 and bluegill love them! I just keep being different bodies until I find the one that is most consistent!

Any form or brand of Beetle Spin is the most effective lure in my 6 tackle boxes. I have tried fishing with a set up such as yours but I have a lot of LM Bass & Northern Pike up here in Wisconsin. I am forced to use 10lb braid with a 20lb fluorocarbon leader because of the Pikes teeth. I have had Pike break 2 light rods this year. I did boat the Pike they were in the 25” range. My PB is a 23” LM Bass on a Beetle Spin with a Red & White Mini Tube Jig. I have so much tackle in my 68 years of accumulation that the only tackle I am buying is Terminal & some form of Beetle Spin. The Larger Northern Pike just bend the heck out of them.

Beautiful spot you’re fishing, and some beautiful fish.

Im a huge fan of beetle spins. That's usually the first thing I start casting in a new body of water just to see what's there. Bream, bass, crappie, even the occasional catfish will hit it. No matter how old I get there's just something about catching a mess of fish on a simple beetle spin or a jig and bobber

Hey Chris, I had never used a beetle spin up until a couple of weeks ago. First time using it I caught a little green sunfish. That was the morning after some heavy rain. Several roads were closed due to high water. Needless to say I have since bought more as well as a panfish magnet kit. Sure enjoy your videos. Catch you later.🎣

If I could only fish a white beetle spin for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be too torn up about it.

One of my hall of fame lures! Very versatile since you can use various soft plastics like Bobby Garlands, curly tail grubs, and micro swim baits on the jig head.

Yes sir it’s tuff to beat a true classic bait like the beetle spin, this has been one of my absolute favorite go to lures no matter what I’m fishing for! Awesome video brother!

You absolutely wore them out!!

Very good video and some nice white bass! Always enjoy your content and seeing you fishing with every man’s tackle. Ultra light doesn’t have to be expensive. The Beetle Spin has been putting fish in my boat for more years than I can remember and they’re there now. A better search bait hasn’t been invented. And mostly weedless too. Looking forward to your next one……..Tim

I carry two poles in my truck during the summer ready to go and one of those always has a beetle spin tied on. Hard to beat that and a rooster tail. I do cut the end off where the jig head goes on and bend it in a circle around the eye. It runs straighter that way.

What knot would you suggest for the beetle spin?

Used them 50 years ago and worked great.still does nothings changed

🔥🔥🔥 Yeew!!! excellent vidio Bud! I'm use a lot #Foconoultralight

Very professional!!

Hey Chris, love your channel.. love the content as well as all explanations of lures and gear..

Been using them for many years. My number one go to for panfish. If I went bream fishing using something else & did not take a few of these little lures with me, then I may as well stay home.

Ol beetle spin, cant go wrong! Nice fish! Thanks for sharing! Great video❤❤❤

One tip: On lures with a double wire loop like Beetle spins or split rings, do not use a clinch knot. The gap between wire loops can allow the tag end to slip out. Use a uni knot or a non-slip loop knot.

Are grub good for catch blueguill

Tight lines 😁👍🏾

How do you like that micro elite rod? Need a new one lol

Another awesome video using a timeless classic! That beetle spin will work just about any time! Great video!

Actually caught me a Sunfish as big as my hand and 2 nice bass a couple weeks ago in Beetle Spins. It kind of blew me away because I had never fished this river with them before but had never had much luck with anything else so thought I would give them a try. Will be using them again next trip.

Great video! Timeless classic = fish! I have to admit I haven't actually used a "Bettle" Spin in over 40 years. Ever since I found some other tiny plastics that worked a little better for me on a spinner than the "beetle." I use small 1.75" crawfish on either a 1/32 or 1/64 oz. jig heads mostly, but also have used the Trout magnet 1/64 with a Trout Magnet plastic. You can purchase the spinners separately. I usually use a #0 size on the 1/32, and a #1 or #2 size on the 1/16. I even have used a size #3 on a 1/8, but not for 35 - 40 years. When the bite is tough, I usually let the lure fall on a tight line on the initial cast, and then again 2 or 3 times during the rest of the retrieve on the way back. That's where I found the slower fall of the crawfish seemed to really pay off. Gold spinners seem to get me a few more bites in off colored / muddy water as well. That black striped bettle is also similar to the colors I use in muddier water or later in the evening. Love the white red dotted option and other lighter colors during the bright times of the day. Those safety pin spinners and the Crappie Magnet Fin Spins have caught me a lot of fish! Thanks for sharing those options in your video and comments!

Good video, I seen those lures before wasnt sure if they would work.

Another great video🎉. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding

Hell yes. Old school lures ftw. Beetle spins are outstanding. For like 2 bux it's money well spent!

I would like to call Bluegill "bream" but I don't have the accent for it lol. Great vid as always man!
