ifish Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hey Guys, I have been messing around with rattles on some jigs and was wandering if anyone has a favorite rattle. Also wandering how to glue these on the hook somehow. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I really don't have a favorite but I prefer the metal tube rattles over glass as the sound is more subtle and natural compared to glass. As far as gluing to a hook, what kind of rattle are you talking about? There are rattles avaiable that snap on the hook shank so there really is no need to glue unless it is a particular ratte that you had in mind.

ifish Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey SmallJaw, I am looking at the Zorro type that snap on the hook .http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Zorro_Baits_Rattlers_10pk/descpage-SSZBRATS.html The gap is too big on the rattle and I tried using gel super glue and that is pretty week. Going to try clear liquid nails next or 2 ton epoxy.The plastic around the rattle kind of dulls the sound and was wandering if that is better than glass or metal. Thanks for your feedback!

Munkin Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The add-a-rattle that Stamina sells is the best one I have used. The ones I am really looking for are the ones Strike King uses on their pro model jigs. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifish Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hey Munkin, Your mailbox must be full. I tried to send you a teflon pin connection. Check out the thread you started on pins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 ifish, the rattle Munkin suggested is a good one, the rattle you have that won't snap on a hook is designed to snap on the wire form of a spinnerbait or buzzbait, and I like plastic rattles also, a little duller in sound than metal but it still has that subtle quality that I think is less prone to spooking fish than the high pitched clicking of a glass rattle. I will say that on the rare occasion that I put rattles in tube, I use glass and the reason is the rattle need to be louder because of being inside the plastic, thats just my personal opinion to rattles.
