Another mod to a topwater pattern

Recommended Posts

Looks normal on the outside, just like the rest of these I have done:

But inside are 2 large glass rattles:

I purposely mounted them towards the rear of the hook to help this pattern rest a little more "butt down" in the water, can't wait to give it a shot. I plan to try it after dark for bass on a night outing.

I plan to tye up the other one you did. Keep us posted on how the change worked.

If it's the articulated one, I still have some hit-and-miss issues with small fish on that one. Fish over 10-12" seem to get the hook A-OK, those little guys barely bigger than the fly that have a bad attitude are hard to hook. ;)

I have fished this pattern a couple times, got decent results. It's obviously a little heavier than the non-rattling version but still casts well. Those rattles are really loud, too. The strikes I have had were pretty violent!
