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.
