Beetle spins are OG fish slayers !

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

Creme Lures are some of the most fish producing baits I have ever used. I would give them a better day of testing. I have used them for 30+ years

Brother the Beetlespin is a legendary lure from the golden days of fishing lol

That little crankbait I bought for $0.98 I caught my PB bluegill at 11 and 1/2 inches in Ohio

I tried using the frog for shits and giggles last summer and even though it was hard to cast, I caught a couple sunfish and some decent sized bass with it going through the lilypads.

brendan’s the type of dude to buy the $12.99 Shakespeare rod just to get the tackle box with assorted grubs and bobbers 😩

Beetle Spin is the best bait made for that $.

People can say what they want about the beetlespin, but they are crappie catching machines. Bring them in real slow on a warm night.

The frog is a top water, why would u want it to go underwater? U should have tried this in still water

Hey, the beetlespin is also one of my favorite lures I love fish with it. I mainly like fishing with the one that is white with the red dot. I also use the spinner. I have caught several bass, bream, and one or two perch. It's a really good bait for its price

The Beetle Spin is one of the best and most time tested baits of all time. 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 Beetle Spin actually works - I use these with a Shakespeare Micro Spinning Rod.

Woah, beetle spin are good???!!?!? No dip, they're one of the highest praised panfish lures ever. And isn't the frog a topwater bait? Why would you want it to go under the water.

Just FYI those old creme worms and frog in your videos are like parts of fishing history ... that company started in the 40ties and were revolutionary in their time ... I get them now and again to catch fish because they remind me of my grandfather .. 😬👍🏼

The micro crank bait is actually awesome

Beetlespins are da truth. I usually replace the plastic lure with a 1” grub. It’ll catch everything in the lake.

cheap is my middle name

Beetle spins can slay! More than worth the few cents they cost.

The creme worm is my all time favorite worm. I've caught hundreds bass and they are dirt cheap. By far one of my favorite baits

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.

06:48 Your mustache fell off bro😲

Beetlespin was a fantastic beginner bait, it grew my confidence like no other.

Beetle spins are totally worth it. work well on "farm pond" bass and sometimes large pan-fish. the spinner clip can be put on any jig to make crappie or just small spinners for shallow ponds etc.

The frog is not trash. I catch european chub up to 2 pounds on it. I just drag it in front of the fish on the surface.

2packs of yum dingers, hooks, and wacky O-ring keepers. Buy it all for $10 on Amazon, get it in 2 days and each senko lasts me about 100 casts or 5 fish

That worm has worked extremely well for me, multiple 4s caught with it! Plus the beetle spins are dope.

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.

Brendan: who in there right mind would buy this? Also Brendan: buys it.

One of the best bargain baits you can get at Walmart is a $5, 5 pack of creme tiny rattle traps, there great to use for Crappie and Bass Fishing.

There's always a beetle spin in my box. That small swimbait works great for smallies, in the skinny rivers I fish. Also slayed a couple 2-3 lb parties in a pond.

That crank bait is for fishing 1-2 ft deep. The shad is great for sun fish or fishing for bait fish.

Ol beetle spin was the first lure i ever caught a fish on!I've always had one in my go to lune up since!

The Beetle Spin is one of the best multi species baits out there. From pan fish, to bass, to trout, and I’ve even seen a guy catch pike on it, it is a really good bait for searching out fish. (And it’s dirt cheap)

Amazing video! But why didn't you do the $1 wal-Mart spinner bait?

Beetle spins are awesome, caught a lot of largemouth last year with them.

I’m sad to report my friend bought that frog and caught a bluegill. I was shocked and angry at the same time

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

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.

Beetle spins work pretty well. I've even caught some big fish on them.

I already have all of them and them, the bream crank bait is good and the beetle spin is amazing

My first cast on a beetle spin got me my pb 7 lb. Been catching fish ever since

The spoiler shad in the smaller size literally was one of the best lures I had to use in one spot full of weeds and it actually worked so well I caught a couple 1 to 2lb bass on it with a spinner blade

I've used the frog on the edge of lilly pads and gotten a decent response from bass. Water snakes try to take it also, so heads up.

I know those cream spoiler shads don't look like much but the three inch version catches sooooo many fish! I've caught many snook and every single bass that I caught in my life was on a blue three inch spoiler shad.

Hey Brendan, love the videos! Just hope you're always at least somewhat on KZfaq. Your videos rare, but very enjoyable. Your content is different and that's what makes it so good!

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.

The spoiler shad is my all time favorite bait,I've caught a ton of fish on them!

As a father of 3 thanks for spending your money so I don't have to spend mine. I love your videos.

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 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.

I had a small barracuda follow me in on the mini crankbait. I ended up catching it on a fly, but it was still cool to watch.

The beetle spin is one of the best creek baits I've ever used imo.

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.

The spoiler shad is an awesome bait. And they are a great price. I use the 2 smaller sizes to catch white bass and wipers from the blue River in Kansas.

The last swimbait kinda thing is awesome. I love fishing these things.

I love your fishing vids, keep up the good work dude

I put the tail of the swimbait in hot water. makes it soft and gives it more action. I use those swimbaits for busting bass on small shad. cast it in the middle of the wolf pack and slow roll it back to boat . gets hammered. this swimbait is money for me in that situation.

I went fishing with the Beetle Spin and on my first cast I could see a bass following it. Later that day, with the same Beetle Spin, I caught a 3lb bass.

Beetle spin best multi species lure of all time imo. They make sizes up to 1/2 oz. Creme worm works well on drop shot too.

Yep, beetle spins are very good for small mouth and crappie. The spinner its self is great for attaching to any jig head

I’ve caught many fish on ozark trail and other cheap Walmart lures especially the frog I caught more bass on on it than my kvd sexy frog and the creme lures are amazing I use the creme stick baits and flukes all the time

The White beetle spin with the red dot is the Bream killer in my neck of the woods! I Have also caught big bass with a beetle spin.

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

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 have a buncha crankbaits that roll and surface like that. Are they any good, or at all usable? I feel like if you could harness that power, the erratic circling and rolling could be enticing. One that I have will swim true for a while and then roll on its side, spiral upwards, and then violently crash the surface. I've never had static fish to throw them at so I have no idea if it'd work but I have seen injured fish act the same way

Beetle spin is legend

The frog is a topwater

Beetle spins and roostertails are my go2 for crappie, bluegill, sunfish and bass.

You can get the minnow thing in blue too....i use it all the time on a spinner and catch all kinds of bass and crappie

The small creme crankbait works best with a stop go retrieve love these

Catch some nice gills with that little crank bait . The bettle spin is a classic.

Caught my first 6 pound bass on that same frog! About 16 years ago!

I've used that exact frog and it works really good

My best day ever, i caught 15 bass on 1 single beetle spin in a matter of about 20 or 30 minutes.. it was so much fun!that beetle spin was beat afterwards.. but worth every penny

That creme lure minnow is one of my favorites

Beetle spins are great bass lures and do catch big bass

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.

Beetle spin is the only lure I've ever caught a catfish on. Apparently it's not that uncommon to catch catfish on lures but I didn't know that at the time and I freaked out because catfish are my preferred species to catch.

That Vsauce intro tho

the creme minnow with the spinner from the beetle spinner, great for lil bass.

that crappy frog as you call it is actully an awesome top water lure,in the UK summer months this frog was great sport catchiing pike after pike,fished next to lillies,reeds and in the margins with a nice twitch.Downside was the rear legs were bit off quite often

I caught a 7-8lb largemouth on a $1 buzzbait from Walmart lol

The frog on a hook almost caught my 8 eight year old brother a monster largemouth bass. It would've easily been one of the biggest largemouth bass I've ever seen but he unfortunately lost it because he was 8 and was using a super man pole that was atleast 10 years old from Walmart.

I really love those creme worms in 4" and the beetle spins they work great in Lil creeks and ponds. thumbs up buddy

As stated in other comments, the frog is a TOPWATER lure. I have the same frog, but it has a weedless hook. I also have the beatlespins and swimbaits.

This is kinda depressing, I own and use all of them regularly, I just bought 3 more of the tiny crank baits, and can vouch for the shad, it's my most used lure

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).

That creme minnow works awesome for me and caught me perch. I got it with a fire tiger pattern and it worth it to me.

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.

Me and a friend used beetle spins in a pond here in texas yesterday and got a ton of bass and crappie

I have very good luck with those white jigs and spinners catching crappie. I prefer the curly tales but those work as well.

The spoiler shad has really good action I caught a 3 pounded at my aunt Linda's first cast before

I've caught tons of fish on that stupid little frog from creme.

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 swim baits work great for white perch. The smallest and next size up work great.

All those creme lures besides the frog are great caught my Pb on those same worms caught a 1lbs crappie on that same spoiler shad and countless bass and caught a bunch of 1-2 lbs bass on the crank bait if you want number use those

Dude you should use the beetlespin more often my dad introduced me to the beetlespin and I love it last time I went fishing I caught a little large mouth and two decent large mouth bass all around just really cool bait!!!

I use the beetle spin all the time it works perfect I cant believe you don't use that

I think the minnow would work well with the spinner blade from the beetle spins
