Rattle sound for crappie?

[Just_Bass]

Just wondering if crappie will go after lure with rattle sound like all other fish? Anyone have experience using rattle tube for crappie. I have old tiny 3x10mm rattle glass tube that I used to use for bass, thinking of utilizing this for crappie by adding to a line under bobbers.

Bud one of my Buddies in Houma La. used a rattle in a tiny popping cork for crappie fishing a jig and it's deadly. The rattle is in the peg/stick.

There is company that makes a tiny rattle bead that is threaded on the line before you tie on your jig. One puts a bobber stopper on the line then the rattle. The rattling bead sits next to the jig knot. Ive never tried them but I was given some as a present. Will have to give them a try.

Bon Temps!!

Bobby Garland makes rattles for inserting into the Slab Huntrs

I don't see why they wouldn't hit a "rattling" lure. They hit cranks & "Rattletraps", both of which make a rattling sound. Shad in a school make a rattling (clicking ??) sound when on the move. We tend to think it's fairly quiet down there amongst the fishies, but it's actually quite "noisey" ... we just have to remember that fish don't actually "hear" sound, they "feel" it thru the Lateral Lines on their bodies and can do so from some distance.

I wouldn't think a rattling jig would be productive in any & all circumstances ... but could spark a feeding instinct if used at the proper time.

Those Flicker Shad crankbaits have rattles and I've had great success with them.

Have you tried the Gulp! Gel on the Flicker Shads?

This one caught my eyes, what is it made of, weight and how loud? I normally use tiny glass tube 3x10mm same as Bobby Garland one. I normally add to hook and line with shrink tube or insert into plastic for bass.
For crappie I used to add sound to bobbers by adding metal ball into bobbers.
For real though I don’t really see big difference using or not using one.
