you talking about the switchback model? haven't used it but i played with a demo at bass pro and i really like the idea of being able to turn the rattles off and on.

I bought one and can't get the rattle to work. I've done everything from tapping it gently on the counter to almost hitting it with a hammer. A plus is the paint hasn't chipped yet.

yeah if you can change the rattle on and off it must be a plus.... i once saw one of the pros talk about how differnet rattles or no rattles at all can affect your catch rate b/c the fish see something different or the rattles dont scare them away

I haven't used them but they look good and sound good in concept! I also love the bait jobs!

I havn't used them either but it is a good concept. It's really 2 baits in 1. That's cool.

I have some cranks that I have drilled an hole in and removed the rattles and then epoxy it shut. They work when the lake has an lot of pressure on it.
