    Beetle spins are a classic lure. There is a reason they're still making them
    Also the frog is supposed to go under slightly and float in order to mimic a real small frog. Its not effective in creeks but its better in ponds and over grown ponds

      @@jamesluck2969 ... I've been using the beetle spin lures for over 35 years, caught tons of bass on them including silver bass and small mouth, also caught huge suckers, catfish and even carp... what I like best about them is that they are almost snag proof... also that vibrating blade makes them ideal in muddy and stained water. Another nice thing about these lures is you can replace that rubber grub with a wide assortment of other plastic/rubber swim baits and even live worms and minnows... in my book it's probably the best over all lures ever made

      Fred Arborgast, created the Jitter Bug which is hands down one of the best top water lures. Now lures are made to catch fishermen by the wallet. It's getting hard to find the old tested and true lures anymore. Oh don't want to forget the lure made just down the highway from here. Swedish Pimple. The name comes from the Swedish word "pimpla," meaning to jig. The Swedish Pimple was created by two brothers more than 50 years ago based on successful jigging lures in Sweden. They started the Bay de Noc Lure Company and developed a line of productive fishing lures that continue to be crafted by hand today.

I've caught Largemouth, Bluegill, Redbreast, Redear, Crappie, White Bass, White Perch, Fliers, Pumpkinseed, Chain Pickerel, Bowfin, Green Sunfish, and Warmouth on them. The value is just the icing on the cake when it comes to the good ole' Beetle Spin.

    The spoiler shad is an amazing creek lure. I’ve used it in my local creek and caught a ton of green sunfish, 2 bass, and a warmouth. The bass were decent chunks too. It held up to all of those fish until the plastic started ripping, it started running sideways, and the hookup ratio turned to garbage.

  • @cannedlaughter2535
    @cannedlaughter2535 3 года назад

    The frog isn't supposed to dive. It's meant to be a floater. He is expecting more or something different from it than what is intended. I do doubt that it has any real action or that the legs kick much BUT if you're mostly looking for a reaction bite (when it first lands in the water), it would work fine for that.
    The little crankbait is hindered mostly by its diminutive size. Any tiny little crankbait is going to be somewhat erratic and unpredictable. A very light line (2 or 4 lb) should remedy that (a little).

    You should have used a snap swivel for the minnow. If you tie the line directly to the minnow it won't allow it to run correctly. Like when you said it ran on its side the swivel would allow it to run upright.

    I'd love to see this video revisited with the lures tested on live fish. I have personally used three of these lures at times and I have caught fish on all three of them. I love fancy high tech lures as much was anyone, but often times the cheap starter section fishing lures are cheap and in the starter section for a reason... they work in a variety of contexts.

    You can boil soft plastics to soften them up it improves the action but they'll tear up easier when a fish bites it

    Believe it or not Ive actually slammed a few SMB on that frog when my other frogs were not producing. I was fishing it like a top water bait and getting good blow ups. I didn't think it would work that well when I first bought it but it was so cheap I would give it a try and I worked.

    i grew up using those beetle spins. My dad always used them and caught some big fish, caught a 6lb smallie and a 8lb largemouth. I still use them some of the times, but nie they are just something you’d find in an old tackle box you bought at a pawn shop

    My little sister caught a big pb bluegill on a creme rattle trap, first time fishing. Definitely worth .97 cents. I'll always have creme lures on me.

    The little crank baits work really well in slow or no current. Crème has nailed the market on buying cheap Chinese baits and repackaging them. I got 10 of those little crankbaits for $4 shipped. I do find a fast retrieve or current makes them act funky.

    The crank bait is great for catching hungry blue gill. I was fishing a pond maybe a 25 yard by 25 yard pond. They loved it. I was catching two at a time some times on it. I live in Alabama and fishing this year has been Garbo.

    back in the early 1970`s when i was a kid , they had some of these lures back then , this one older man that worked at Kmart near my home would always tell me that these lures were made for kids and to be used on old zebco 202 rods and reels. i use to buy those worms all the time and the beetle spin and the frog. ive caught fish with all of them on my old 1974 zebco 202 rod and reel. that older man was not wrong. i remember when creme , mr.twister were just about the only artificial worms you could get in my neck of the woods in north texas, back then a big pack of worms cost about a dollar each and the old eagle hooks were all we could afford with our allowances and pinch on gremlin weights. man , those were the days. p.s. try the little frog on a pond sometime with calm water. you will be suprised

  • @olivermarvin4346
    @olivermarvin4346 6 лет назад

    I have used all of those baits and the crankbait you were a little critical of was actually my favorite. I fish in a very shallow creek making a tiny lure like this very effective. My biggest problem with it besides the ones you mentioned, is the fact that the hook on it is garbage. I had two of the treble hook tips pop off on micro-fish. This left the tips of the hooks stuck in the fishes' throats... With some cheap eagle claw treble hooks, it does great for my fishing spots.

    when (or if) you have kids you'll enjoy these cheep baits that will get broken off in trees, played with in the boat (worms without hooks) etc. Get stuff that you don't mind loosing and you'll be happy and they get to fish like the big people without the bobbers...

    The frog actually got a offset hook which is made to hide hook a bit so you can fish weedless through plants
    The funny thing about it when i just started fishing predators i used a similar actionless frog and put it on a 15g jighead and just let it sink to the bottom real fast and pulled it up even faster and a nice northernpike attacked it. I was like wtf i did not even expect to attract anny fish with that silly action

    Honestly that little frog Ive caught dozens and dozens of small bass on. Mostly from the same local pond. I keep a few in my small water tackle box as cheap little throw aways I dont mind risking.

    the little single hook crankbait works good, I buy the 5 pack assortment of them from Walmart and use them for bluegill and crappie with really good success.

  • @dannykyle738
    @dannykyle738 6 лет назад

    Beetle spins are very good. You can catch just about anything on one. I remeber one day when I went fishing at my local river, I threw the kitchen sink out there for about 2 hours. I gave up and decided to throw a beetle spin on my light set up(w/ 10lb line) to catch a panfish. Then I hooked up on a 2+lb small mouth, pretty large for a small river. I just wish I had used a bit of a stiffer rod cause after fighting the fish from swimming into a brush pile he jumped completely out of the water and shook the hook out. So if you do use it, be prepared for a lager fish. Also I've realized just a slow reel to keep the blade spinning with some twitches is a great retrieve for it.

    The $1 creme hard bait box at Walmart is awesome. My dad and I bought a few of the lipless crankbaits and 3 casts in, my dad ended up with a 28 inch pike. Hooks are sharp, but a little fragile too. After that pike we had to replace the hooks.

    A crank bait should never just run straight. Erratic action is what gets the fish excited. Keven VanDam is the man to listen to on all things fishing. Watch him to learn how to properly use a crankbait. He won the Bassmasters on crank bait several times.

    I use the minnow one all the time and it does catch fish, it is surprisingly good they even come in different colors. Except it falls apart after a couple bites. Good thing they come 3 in a pack

  • @xave93montoya
    @xave93montoya 5 лет назад

    I had used the tiny crank bait and put an 1/8 oz. split shot and missed a couple. I would probably use a tiny bobber on the frog

  • @tanyav8775
    @tanyav8775 6 лет назад

    Not all lures are are meant for fast moving water such as streams. I've never seen a frog in a stream maybe that's because they are pond and lake lures!! It makes a difference if you know how to use lures - which lures to use based on water conditions, the weather, which fish type your fishing for, the type of body of water your fishing in, speed you reel them in, and the time of the year in which your fishing. Price and brand name mean nothing. In order to find out how a lure "performs" would require using it.
