Rattletraps

I have thrown them some but the pike often seem to come outta nowhere to find the rat-l-baits before the skis get on em....

I figured I'd share these with you fellas - not the best but different than what I've seen and hopefully different than what the fish have seen. They are about 8-9 inches long.

I was thinking about making some of my own. If you don't mind me asking, how thick are your baits?

Thanks,

Brad

I was watching a video the other day about musky fishing down in Cave run lake in Kentucky & this is the go to bait for early season. I might have to try something new. I have an excuse to buy some more lures now haha.

Keep in mind, they're early season is a whole different ball of wax from ours. Not saying they don't or won't work here, but rattlebaits in KY are used prespawn when the fish are setting up to spawn and aggressively protecting spawning area's.

Hi Brad -

I used 3/4 inch oak - need to pour some lead into them so keep them balanced. Shoot me a note if you want any more specifics.
