Overview
A time-tested classic, the Johnson Beetle Spin is a direct descendent of the famed Beetle Spin created by Virgil Ward over 50 years ago. Loaded with bite-sized appeal, the Johnson Beetle Spin combines a lively split-tail grub with the brightness of a nickel-plated Colorado blade. The Johnson Beetle Spin works great on a variety of species and can be fished like a traditional spinnerbait, or rigged with a bobber and used to target suspended fish. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a first time angler, no tacklebbox is complete without the Johnson Beetle Spin.

Big crappie and bassI was fishing around some deep lily pads and was nailing crappie and occasional big sunfish. My next cast I landed a 5 lb 21" largemouth. This is my favorite lure for catching any type of large panfish or bass too.

Comments: I like to swap out the jig head for a little 1/8 oz swimbait head and put on a 3 inch easy shiner, works great for pretty much anything from crappie to smallmouth. Even caught a 4 lb largemouth on that rig. The wire arm gives the same action as an underspin but it's also somewhat Weedless like a spinnerbait.

Comments: These were the first lures I ever used. I haven't had any for a while, and I have no idea why! So I loaded up, and set up my six year old son with one. On a farm pond within his first few casts he hooked a big ol' sunfish. You know the type - you wonder if you can hold it in your hand! A few casts later, and there's another big ol' sunny! A few casts after that and then he got his first largemouth bass. That's what I'm talking about, baby!

Comments: This is a fantastic panfish, perch, and bass lure. I always keep a few of these guys in my tackle box when I head out to a pond. The soft plastic is pretty durable, and for the price it is great! the jighook may need to be sharpened, but a nice touch to these is that the spin part can be taken off and used with another jighead or lure.
