Anyone ever use them? I am needing to stock up on some jigs and was curious if anyone has found the rattle to add anything extra? Specifically they have a google eye live bait jig I was thinking about trying. I like a short shank jig for live bait and have usually had good luck with Lindy live bait jig and a northland fireball.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I use the Google eye jigs almost exclusively... They are very pricey and the eyes tend to fall out after getting snagged a handful of times. Can't say I've ever proven out whether the rattle is all that beneficial. I'd say I catch the same amount (or more) of fish as my canoe mates - so I don't believe it hinders. I mostly use them because I love the hooks and bait keepers on them.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I think I'll pick some up and give them a try, sounds like it couldn't hurt fishing, although my wallet will feel it a little! Found a local deal on them so that takes the sting off a little.

Thanks again!

I haven’t used these before. My jigs with the holographic eyes out fish non holographic jigs so I would Imagine these would be great. Also I really think that a rattling lure attracts more fish too. I will be looking for these.
