Quick take
A lipless vibrating lure with internal rattle and tight wiggling action, sized for multiple freshwater species and fishing techniques.
The 5/8 oz bass pattern of the Rattl'n Vibe is a sinking lipless crankbait with a rattle chamber and internal balls that produce a loud, vibrating sound. Its body swims downward on the fall, so it works on the drop, on a slow roll, or jigged vertically. It is built for anglers targeting bass, walleye, pike, crappie and panfish.
Best for
- Bass and walleye in deeper water
- Vertical jigging and yo-yo retrieve
- Slow retrieves in winter ice conditions
Skip if
- You need a floating lure; this sinks
- You prefer silent lures without rattles
Strengths
- Internal rattle with belly and face weights produces high-pitched call
- 1 ft per second sink rate keeps lure in strike zone on vertical jigs
- Tight vibration creates action without needing rod tip work
- Holographic and matte finishes resist chipping in rough conditions
Trade-offs
- Lipless design means no built-in action from casting alone; you must retrieve
- 5/8 oz weight limits use in very shallow or heavy vegetation
- Sinking rate means you lose the lure if you don't stay in contact

How to fish it
A lipless crankbait sinks, so you choose its depth by counting it down, then reel it, rip it or lift and drop it.
Count down and reel
- Cast and count as the lure sinks, about a foot a second, until it reaches the depth you want.
- Reel at a steady pace, fast enough to feel the lure vibrate.
- Speed up or slow down to hold it just above the grass or the bottom.
Ripping it out of grass
- Reel the lure so it ticks the tops of submerged grass.
- When it bogs down in the grass, snap the rod to rip it free.
- Be ready as it breaks loose; strikes often come right then.
Yo-yo
- Let the lure sink to the bottom on a tight line.
- Lift the rod to pull the lure up a few feet, then lower it and let the lure flutter back down.
- Watch the line on the fall; most strikes come as it drops.
How deep and around what
At 5/8 oz it sinks fast, so it reaches deeper grass edges, points and open water.

What you need with it
A 5/8 oz lipless crankbait is usually fished with a casting rod, a baitcasting reel and 15 to 20 lb line.
- Casting rodsA long medium-heavy rod with a moderate-fast action throws a heavy lure far and absorbs a hard strike.
- Baitcasting reelsA faster gear ratio keeps up with a lure that is burned or ripped.
- Fluorocarbon lineSinks and has little stretch; 15 to 20 lb for this weight.

About this type
A lipless crankbait is a flat-sided, sinking hard bait that vibrates tightly when it is reeled.
It has no diving lip, so it runs as deep as you let it fall and casts a long way for its size.
Most hold rattles, and the line ties on the back, which keeps the nose down and the body shaking on the retrieve.
Compared with Crankbaits: A lipped crankbait floats at rest and dives to a set depth; a lipless one sinks and is fished at whatever depth you count it down to.
