Just got a smithwick rattling rogue and got a yellow and orange with a metallic topped Rat-l-trap.  Anyone ever had success with these,  heard these baits fished right are deadly 

I've had a little success with the Rogue and a lot with the Trap. For me, the metallic ones are best. I much prefer the gold one.

Yes,  that's kinda the finish mine has on it. 

yellow and orange is a very popular stained water color...usually called clown on jerkbaits, or firetiger which is also effective in water where panfish are on the menu. 2 Great lures that are classics for a reason.

Both are proven lures that catch fish..Rogues have been around since the 60's? and the Rattle trap was created in the 70's? and is the original lipless rattle bait...

You for sure picked up two winning baits that have won tons of money in tournaments over the years and will keep doing so even with all the new stuff coming out....The rattle trap is fun to fish and you can fish them in places that will surpise you...Look on You tube for the Bass Resource videos on how to fish a 

lipless crankbait or rattle trap in grass, ripping a trap from grass,  or how to fish a suspending Jerkbait...This website has the best videos since they break it down from the knot to the cast, line type etc....Good luck...good choices.

I forgot to mention I just got a floating Trap. I've used it once and got no bites, but I'll keep at it. I think it'll produce when they're right on the beds. It just dives a couple feet and if you let it sit it slowly rises. It doesn't make as much racket as the regular Trap does though. So I don't think it's going to call fish from near and far. Also probably won't turn off neutral fish as much.
