Here's a good little modification for those that don't like the rattles in the bait. Take a good sized drill bit and drill the top of the head. You can then shake out the 6 steel BB's out of the bait. To seal up the hole, take some 5 minute epoxy and fill up the hole. Let the epoxy cure a little before applying it to the hole. There will be air bubbles that will try to escape from the bait. continue to wipe the bubbles away until the epoxy starts to harden. Once it is curing, apply a small amount more and let dry for a few hours. Once it is hard, you can then file the expoxy down flush with the bait.
Great baits that catch a lot of fish. Most Striper guys like the rattles. The bass guys like the bait without. With the BB's out, there is a nice deep knocking sound from the stationary weights in the bait.
Get two... one for the Stripers and one for the Largies.
