What is the best Rattle Reel?

Recommended Posts

I sold my 2014 ice castle and bought a 2015. Needed Hydro frame.

In my last house I had the Catch Cover Rattle Snake Rattle Reels. I like the way you can move them around but i hate the way the line gets caught up in the reel.

Has anyone used this style before. Trying to find a different style??????

I have them in my Yetti and I like them, although with the beads in them they aren't real loud. Most of the time I do hear them. I added some sinkers to mine to make them a little louder. I have the glow in the dark ones.

I have two of them. They are ok, but are hard to hear for sound sleepers. I put two of them close to where I sleep so I can hear them. I put two with bell right across from them, and then I put two with buzzers up in front. It helps elminate some of that 3 am, full-40170-43036-rattlereels.png

Did you not like the catch cover ones? I was thinking about getting them for my fish house, so hoping to get your impression of them. Thanks.

i didnt like them for the simply fact that if you reel them up, and your not paying attention, which happens more times then not, you will get the line pinched between the reel and the mount, and you can't get it out. Its a HUGE PAIN and i hate it

I use Lewandoski and like them. Haven't used many others, but have no desire to.

I think it depends upon whether you're using them during the day or at night, during the day just about any reel will work, but at night, when you're sleeping, I like the wooden ones with bells in them, these Lewandoski's and other 'tinkle, tinkle' ones just don't cut it, they're not loud enough.

These look like the ones I have in my house and I don't like them for the fact that the tension on the wheel in by a rubber washer like thing which do not work well at all. I have even had some of the washers split. will be pulling them all out this summer and going with the old tried and true wooden ones with a screw tensioner.
