RiverMan Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Anyone successfully made a Trap from wood? Jed V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn fisheries dude Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 a rattle trap that doesn't rattle is, well, not a rattle trap, cause i've never heard of a wooden bait that rattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullin8s Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Lots of wooden baits rattle I also have a japanese bait similar to a trap thats silent and its killer sometimes on pressured fish. Wasn't the Bagleys trap shaped bait wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthunder Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hey Jed: You know those baits I spoke to you about? I made them rattle by drilling the front weight hole a little deeper and installing B-B's. Of course, I put a lip on 'em, but I'm sure with a little careful experimentation, you could weight these properly to run and rattle lipless.

clemmy Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well some of the early cordell spots did not rattle, in fact some tinkerers used to drill out the lead weight hole larger to make the one-knockers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hey Jed, I played around with a wooden rattle trap a few years ago..I got a few too work,but didn't spend the time with them too get them down pat.What I did find was being made from wood you could get some really slow fall rates by playing with the weight..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 i made a trap that works up on the surface giving a good old wake behind it, also if you crank it hard enough it will go down about 1.5 foot, it works well as a surface lure, there was no weight in this one at all, the hook hanger had to be slightly forward abit though to make it crank down, likley not what your lookng for but it worked for me Tightlines john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
