Three 1/16 (? It says these are the colors for the 1/8 model but it doesn’t actually feel like an 1/8 jighead) beetle spins, each in the color trailer shown here, were the first lures I got when I started fishing freshwater a few months ago. While I’ve had and have been using them the longest, I spent a long time using them in overpressured and/or weedy and very tannic water, where they didn’t perform well, so I honestly don’t really know what “works” for them much at all. 

 I’ve lost two of the three spins to snags but I still have their trailers. I’ve caught two fish on them so far. One was a footlong pickerel on the   Spin with the green trailer. Losing that one was a pain. After I kept failing to get any success with the white one I tried putting on the Bobby Garland shad shown here. This one did actually work and I was able to catch a crappie with it today. 

I’ve also started using a couple 1/32 beetle spins. I’ve gotten more bites with those, at the cost of said bites always being tiny fish. So far the one that has performed most reliably is the white grub with a red spot. 

So I’m wondering- what trailers have other people found work well for beetle spins, both the “normal” one here and the smaller 1/32 version? 

Advice for best beetle spin trailers?
