Trouble with rattles falling off buck shot rattles?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I use buckshots a lot. Last winter I had 2 rattles fall off of my buckshot rattles. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem? IMG_0663.JPG

Can't say I have, but I don't rely on them heavily. How are you storing your lures?

Store mine the same. Maybe you just catch more fish than me ;)

 

I suppose if they were really getting shaken up in a sled or something that might break loose the adhesive. I was using a foam jig book a few years back. Not the greatest as far as longevity, but probably easier on lures.

Lost one buckshot last winter. Have tackle box like the one in the picture. Have cut pieces for padding the lures.

Those two that broke i did catch quite a few fish on so they might just fall off over time I guess.

Last winter I had it happen as well

I've only had it happen once with the Clam version of that spoon. That open area catches water, and now the spoon has an unusual/erratic action and probably catches fish better than before!

Same here!

I have had quite a few rattles fall off! Easy to fix with a little epoxy glue.

Looks like those lures have seen considerable action. Also, take care not to grab them with hemostats, pliers, etc. when removing them from a fish, that will take a toll in a hurry.

Yeah I caught quite a few fish on those.

X2-epoxy. It's common for all brands, especially the ones not epoxied and painted over. The better brands like Lindy use clear over them, Northland does take some shortcuts on occasion.
