Thread: The almighty Beetle Spin! - questions

I have photos of many fish I caught on the B.Spin that I plan on using again. Here are a few examples of lures used and short vs long arm:


What I like about the lure are the species of fish that attack it and the various trailer that can be rigged.

This took this photo today of wire frames I made:

Note: all three frames were hand made. The middle one was the easiest to make using coated floral-arrangement, easily formed wire, a bead and ball bearing swivel.

All the soft plastic lure below were hand poured:
The lure on the left had the curl tail removed
The middle lure has a flat straight tail
The one on the right is similar in tail design but smaller

Questions:
1. what lures do you use with the B.Spin? (i.e. curl tail, no tail, small plastic worm, etc.)
2. do you have a preference when it comes to lure length?
3. do you like a smaller vs larger blade?
4. do you prefer a longer or shorter arm coming from the lure?
5. what weight jig(s) do use?

The short-arm B Spin I use on the drop and hopping on the bottom.
A longer arm I use for horizontal swims like that of a spinnerbait.

Opinions and history welcome.
