spinnerbait rattles
Anyone know of a good rattle for spinnerbaits?
It's tinker with tackle time in Tn. |

| I use a two-arm rattle collar of flexible plastic to which you attach
rattles. The collars run about six or seven cents apiece. The rattles to go
in them are an additional 20-24¢ each, so a complete rattle assembly is
around fifty cents. You can also buy them pre-assembled from various
manufacturers in three-packs for about a dollar apiece -- $3 or so for the
set. To see the collars, go to
http://www.staminainc.com/skirt_building_materials/spider_rattle_collar.html Stamina doesn't have the best prices, but their online catalog shows all the
components you need. They also have one-arm collars. We try to have only the absolute best components in our propack kits, and
the double-arm rattles made the cut. They're especially useful in murky
water or at night, but I know some guys who add a rattle to almost every
spinnerbait they throw, except maybe for our 1/8 or 3/16 models intended for
very clear water situations. Joe |

| Thanks for the link Joe.The collars are what I was looking for,I fished a
night tournament on Ft. Loudon last summer and that was the ticket,only I
didn't have any and had to borrow baits from my partner.For some reason they
popped into my head this morning.
Maybe it's time I just started ordering from you guys.Thanks again! |

| Another trck I have heard is to slide a shrink tube over the hook shank, and
slide a glass rattle inside the tube, then heat. I tried it once, but the
tube I used was pretty stiff, and I had a hard time sliding it over the
curve of the hook to ge t it onto the hook shank.
