My Rattle Head spinnerbait experience so far

Featured Replies

I've used the Rattle Head spinnerbaits a little over 25 hours total now, I chose two of the clear spinnerbaits (1/2oz & 3/4oz) with the blue/green flakes (the weather hasn't worked in my favor as much as I hoped it would so my crystal clear lakes haven't been as crystal clear as I had hoped). I've only managed two small keepers so far, but I really like the profile the spinnerbait offers (especially the 3/4oz), which I found out is Dow's own design! They have a great skirt too!  Both the 1/2 and 3/4oz baits come through the hydrilla I've been fishing VERY well (even with a trailer hook attached)! The 3/4oz feels great coming through the water, even at slow speeds!

I did have a couple concerns with the spinnerbait (had some problems with the 1/2oz model) but Dow was kind enough to take some time to talk to me thursday evening! Thanks for your time Dow and thanks for setting it up Bekki! You two are class acts in my book!!!!!! Dow gave me a couple of tips to help me improve my catches which I'm planning on trying next week (as long as the weather cooperates with me)!

Here are the pictures of the two bass I've caught so far.

I'm far from being down testing these baits out! And I hope to soon post a new PB thread using one of Dow and Bekki's Rattle Head spinnerbaits!  ;)

Interesting post.

Please let us know how you do with these baits and which techniques worked best in what areas and under what conditions.

Got to fish again at lunch today (rain started as I was heading back to the truck). I opted for the 3/4oz spinnerbait today. The water had a little bit of color to it but I could still see down around 3'. Since it was overcast, I deceided to give the clear skirted spinnerbait a little bit of color, so I added a small chartruese twin tailed grub. Fished it for about 20 minutes and managed a small one today (about 12") running it just over the top of the hydrilla bed I was fishing.

Good post. Ive been wondering if i should grab a few of these, so let us know how they are when your done testing them

Thanks!I only have two spinnerbaits so far and I got them for a couple of the clear lakes that I fish. I'm planning on getting a couple more to try out in other water conditions.
