They both work if fished properly. I have also put a small tube on the Beetle Spin frame for large crappie. Tom |

--a beetle spin is a small jig head with a small grub tail on the hook and having a safty pin type spinner blade hanging over the top of the hook.
-- a tube body is a hollow skirted grub type body that fits over a jig head and covers the shank of the hook.
and yes like pegsguy has said they both work great on panfish.

Never used a beetle spin, but tubes work well. |

by far the tube jig works best. It can be casted or jigged over the fish. It is my personal favorite. |

Beetle spins work, but I like a small (< 1/16) tube jig under a slip float. |

Either Or. I prefer tubes. But a beetle spin is still a damn good choice. "it doesn't matter if the horse is blind....Just load the cart anyway!!!" John Madden NFL Hall Of Fame) Fred Jefferson,MD (NAFC LM) (NAHC TLM) |

I can't get the fish to respond to either, tried a Kentucky rig yesterday still nothing.
If at first you don't succeed get a book for dummies and try again |

I always wondered about those 'complete' books. Are they complete books for dummies or books for complete dummies? Tom

I perfer tubes over spinners for panfish, sometimes I would have to change the weight of the jig head, based on how they're biting or the elements, when they're really picky I have gone as light as 1/64th on an ultra light. |

Do beetle spins/tubes work good for only crappie, how about Bluegill? Not monster bluegill, the kind you find in public waters. |

Bettlespin for more acttive fish. Tubs/grubs for less acttive. Love em both. But never over look marabou jigs (1/64-1/16) under a bobber. Bluegill, perch, crappie works for them all.  |
