    After watching James video on Mill lacs where they were fishing rattling spoons. I made these up useing 1-4 willow spoons small plastic and metal beads,wire and small clevises for the ones with the extra small spoons added for more flash.The 2 small metal beads go on the bottom inside portion of the blade provideing weight and sound(rattling)when jigged.Bend the bottom of the spoon to the inside so just above the hole you drilled so the wire goes through and the wire is not tight so the beads can move.I added different colors to the blades with metal die inks,but you could use prism tape to.I put eyes on mine a treble hook and you have a rattling spoon,good for walleyes,crappies etc.BILL
