Darkman Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I am getting a few clear cranks (Normans) and I have seen other custom ones, but they don't rattle, the rattles are still there they just don't move, shake, make noise. How do I do that and if I have to put a hole in it how do I close it back up. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 You can use a bit of epoxy clay....get it at Wal-Mart in the auto parts section. You just mix part A with part B and it will harden to a rock in 15 minutes....sand smooth, done deal. I have done this to lures before only I drilled a hole and then poured the bb's out........not sure where the Normans store the bb's though so it might not be possible with this plug. Jed V.

borderbasser Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 In the past I have just drilled a hole in my DD22's where the rattle cavity is and filled it up with devcon 2 part epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 You'll be able to see the weight cavity in a clear bait, drill a hole and put in some epoxy to fix the rattles. Remember they are also the ballast so if you glue them off center..... I tried it a couple of times but gave it up as a bad job and too much work for the benefit. If you want silent, I say use a wood crankbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie525 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 i think they use them for rattles and weights. so in some they rattle and in some they dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
