A somewhat heavier and larger type of spin bug can be made, as shown in Fig. 28. This is also a minnow type of lure since it is shaped more like a small fish than an insect. However, if you want to do so, it can be dressed up with wings or other hair or feathers on the body, to resemble a very large bug. The way it stands with a streamlined body and only a few feathers on the hook makes it an excellent casting lure when used with a spinning outfit. The body can be about 2 in. long and in. in diameter at the thickest part in the center. It tapers to a rounded nose and tail on both ends. Small screw eyes can be used at the nose, under the belly and at the tail to hold the two treble hooks. The rear treble hook can be wound with short bucktail hair.
