Quick take
A 1/8 oz spinnerbait with a translucent jig head, removable safety-pin spinner blade, and steel shot rattle for deep-water jigging or shallow casting.
The Johnson Beetle Spin pairs a small jig head with a safety-pin spinner, in a 1-1/2 inch size at 1/8 ounce. This one is finished in a black and yellow stripe with a nickel blade. The spinner clips off when you want a plain jig for deeper water, which keeps it easy to use for newer anglers and long-time spinner-grub fans alike.
Best for
- Largemouth and smallmouth bass in weeds and timber
- Vertical jigging in deep water
- Panfish in shallow cover
Skip if
- You fish open water where the blade doesn't improve casting distance
- You want a larger lure for big bass
Strengths
- Safety-pin blade is removable for plain jig presentations in dense cover
- Steel shot rattle attracts fish from a distance
- Translucent jig head blends into the water column
Trade-offs
- 1/8 oz is light and difficult to cast on heavy line
- Removable blade means one more piece that can get lost
- Not suitable for trolling or offshore applications

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
