basskat Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'm looking for the old style plastic rattles that fasten to the hook shank with super glue or you melt them on. I've searched eveywhere on the web, Wal-Mart, every bait store in my area and can't come up with them. Anyone know where I might find these? All the search has produced is the skirt collar/rattle.

WidowMaker Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 They were made by the Arkie Company. I wonder if a person could use a regular glass rattle and insert it into a piece of woven fabric wire loom and slip it onto the shank of a hook. Both ends of the wire loom then could then be glued to the shank of the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I.m sure that could be done. What I'm looking for is the different sound of the plastic rattle. It had a deeper tone than the glass/plastic insert rattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unagi Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Basskat, Not to contradict widowmaker, but the rattles that you are searching for are still being made by the Woodies Rattle Company. I do remember that Arkie distributed the same product. I've attached the link below. Good luck, Paul Shibata http://www.woodiesrattlers.com/html/versatile_rattles.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 No offense taken here.....i knew Arkie sold them but i was under the impresion they were made by a company under an exclusive contract to only supply Arkie. But of course i could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
