I'll add that I think Bill Lewis proved years ago that rattles attract fish.  It's interesting that with lipless cranks and jerkbaits, rattles are overwhelmingly prefered, but guys will say with jigs /worms it doesn't matter 🤔

 

Silent jerkbaits work way better for me than ones with rattles. As for rattle traps most of the time I am using them in muddy water.

Today was the first time I fished a jig with rattles.  I did well flipping jigs to shallow brush. Kinda surprised since I’m up here in MA it’s been cold. But we had heavy rains and warm temps last night, they moved up. Don’t see that often in January 

Any ways. When do you throw jigs with rattles vs jigs without!  My buddy, the one who made this jig, only uses jigs with rattles. 

 

Isnt that strange how that works during the coldest parts of the year.  A buddy of mine used to do that and I would fish off the back of the boat.  He would always find a couple fish that would hit and most were way better than average.
