Hi everyone, Texas guy that is new to this forum and lure making. What I have in mind is not so much of a lure, but a rattle. They make some that are called Rockport Rattlers that are made of plastic with several small BB's that you attach to your line in place of a swivel. (pretty much a hollow tube filled with BB's with a place to tie your line at each end)
What I want to do is make one slightly larger, with one ball bearing or one larger BB that makes a high pitch solid click when jerked. I want the sound that a SheDog by mirrolure or any other topwater may make. They advertise it as a "High Pitch" sound and looks as if it is a thinner plastic
My Question, What kind of material should I use to best replicate that? How do I get my BB inside of the "Hull" of my lure or tube? or once I have 2 halves, can they be glued together and be sturdy?
What would be the best way to go about making an item like this?
Thanks
Dave
