My buddy puts a rattle in his worm everytime he uses one. ( That did not come out right)  He won't fish T-rig plastics without one.

We started fishing night tournaments and somehow got me to try them out.  I use rattles all the time at night now with my T-rig worms.  

Then I got to thinking,  I fish so slow at night using worms that I wonder if the rattle is making any noise due to the lack of bouncing the worm off the bottom with any type of force.

Has anyone ever tried using a brass worm weight and glass bead like in the C-rig?  Only without the swivel and leader.  Just let the bead and weight rest against the worm.  It seems to me that the weight and bead would produce more noise then a rattle.  

Thanks for the replies.  

I tried putting a rattle in a 4" senko, but it gave the bait a bad action so I took it out.   I always put them in a fluke though, I really think it helps.

I'm talking strictly worms.   I think flukes give enough action w/out rattles.

i use a bead and a rattle alot i think it helps

If I'm flippin a tube in heavy grass or buck brush, I always use a tube rattle. i think it helps them find it.

I use the rattles on T-rigs 60% the time, like the plastic ones better than glass since glass is to slick and slips out.  My brother likes the brass bullet weight with a bead, but it looks bulky imo.

If you really want to rattle their brains use one of those Gambler rattlin weights and a worm insert also.Double the fun! I have great success with that at night and in the generally nasty water thats around here.

Speaking of tube rattles try the paca craw at night with a glass tube rattle and of course one of the previously mentioned rattlin weights.

I noticed the glass ones do slip out a bit but they are noisier than plastic.  Or different sound anyway.

Thats why I use bobber stop, Stainles bead, tungston worm wieght, glass bead.

I can adjust the amount of rattle.

I'm never digging for another incert rattle.

Works on all Trigs and all wieghts 1/8 - 1.5

I will not use a trickworm or senko without a rattle in it.. period! i use a 3mm glass rattle to me is much better than the plastic ones that are also too big for the worm......it makes a HUGE difference
