Quick take
Assorted plastic rattles with metal ball inserts for adding sound and vibration to fly patterns.
These Mimilure rattles are small hard-plastic tubes with a metal ball inside, made to add a clicking sound to soft plastic worms, jigs and tied flies. The box holds 20 pieces in three sizes, from about 1.5 cm up to 2.6 cm long, so you can match the rattle to the size of the bait or fly. They suit anglers who tie their own flies or rig their own worm jigs for trout and panfish.
Best for
- Attractor fly patterns that benefit from vibration
- Worm jigs and soft plastic rigging
- Fly tiers creating high-visibility patterns
Skip if
- You fish selective trout that avoid noisy flies
- You tie stillwater patterns where silence is preferred
Strengths
- Three sizes provide options for different fly sizes and head diameters
- Metal ball creates loud chatter sound to attract fish
- 20-piece pack provides plenty of material for tying multiple flies
Trade-offs
- Rattles add weight to fly patterns and affect casting
- Hard plastic can crack or break during tying
- Sound attracts all fish, not just target species
