Bass Fishing Technique Lesson 2- Rattling Crankbaits

My all time favored rattling crankbait is the Rattletrap. One key I met when buying a Rattletrap is to try them out before you buy it (if the store allows it). This is what I mean: abstract the Rattletrap from the box, hold it expensive to your ear being meticulous not to stick yourself, and upheaval it succinctly 3 to 4 times. You will tangibly here the rattling sound. I have met that the “traps” that have a higher pitched ruffle tend to overstate more strikes (just my downright experience). So hold out a few before you buy.

My characteristic preferred colors are silver with characteristic back and silver with blue back. I’ve rescued that the 1/2 ounce to be the best all around size.

The rattletraps do wear out over time. The extraordinary little is when the stop starts wearing. I usually toss out any where the red markings are gone (don’t know why but the red seems to make them hit better) or the silver turns to the off white synthetic dirty. The less pithy is when the high pitched molest changes to a low thudding type ruffle. You will know the inadequacy since you did try them out in the store, right? Try to stay with the high pitched shake, just my experience.

The traps work best around submerged hydrilla. Bump the dine, or get it stuck in the stalks then rip it out. This often provokes a bad strike.

The traps also work on exercise fish. Throw into the school and work it back. Let the fish tell you if they want it fast or slow.
