>>353426all BS aside, i've caught more fish on a generic spinner/beetle spin than anything else. countless bream, bluegill, bass, catfish, jack, warmouth, even eels and dogfish.
the bigger the spoon, the better. you can use a real bass sized hook and - my favorite - a big ass twirl tail white grub, hook hidden in the body. though the typical hook/head combo that comes with these are generally fine, i've bent a few to the point where they wouldn't hold a fish.
