Importance of a rattle bait

I enjoy putting a nice loud bait on. I have had little luck but it always makes me feel better! LOL

thanks for sharing!! I am a crappie/panfish guy, and my goal this year is to try something new. which is walleye fishing this winter!I will have to get a few and try!! merry christmas!

I totally agree…ive been doing alot of jigging with the new clam psycho shad alot this winter..have only caught a few eyes on em,but im very confident that they are a great attractor lure…if the fish dont strike my shad they hit the deadstick…weird the slender spoons have not been landing me many fish on the st.Louis..they were my go to jig the last few years..

If you’re fishing has been anything like mine for the past few weeks, the eyes have been needing some coaxing. When the bite gets tough I use the rippin raps or vmc rattle spoons to call them in, and if they don’t like that pattern once they show up on the screen I drop a slender spoon or tingler to them to convince them into feeding. Slow days seem like great days when you can compel the fish to do your bidding. Even though the slender spoons may not be your starting pitcher at times, they may just be what’s needed to save the day.
