MAKING WOODEN RATTLE TRAP STYLE BAITS

Recommended Posts

I would say you should keep the weight directly under the front line tie or maybe just slightly forward of the belly hook hanger for best results.

The axis point of the bait will be at the line tie and the further you move the ballast weight away from this pivot point the more it will tend to kill the action. You might be able to find a "cutaway" drawing of a similar vibration type bait for referance
