Steve, I haven't fished the Rago Rat yet. I've heard that the Rago is pretty loud though. The Rodent is a real subtle and natural bait. If you're trying to attract those real sketchy bass by using realism and a subtle approach, use the Rodent. If you want that 'in your face' come and eat me because you can't stand it approach use the Rago!

The video I've seen of the Rago looks good. It puts off a nice wake to draw attention.
