I never came across other rattling spoons so far , and I'm a great fan of spoons !
I even was surprised when I first saw these ones at "Stamina's" , though I haven't bothered about ordering for them .
Only have one or two spoon-like lures of plastic , 3-dimensional though and filled with steelballs , mailordered them years ago from the US , if my memory serves me right , but these are way too heavy for trolling .
Why not trying to somehow stick a glass rattle or plastic jig rattle onto your trolling spoon and test them in a bath tube(this way you can clearly hear any sound , that the lure generates !)
.
I would try to position the rattle crosswise the length of the spoon , though this might be tricky , due to the cupping of the blade .
Don't use glue at first , but some kind of plastic tape to fix the rattle temporary for testing , this way you might easily alter its position for possibly best results .
Maybe even sturdy and very sticky repair tape would be sufficient for a permanent bond of the rattle , instead of epoxy
?
The only noise-generating spoon , that I know , is the Finnish "Finnbait Turbo" , you can view my homemade versions in the gallery , check for uploads under "D" , pictures name is "array of spoons" .
These spoons are currently shown on page 18 of the "D" uploads , they generate a gentle , metallic "click-click-click...." sound , since the lure swims back in a wave pattern , constantly rocking left/right and the front splitring slides up and down the line tie slot , permanentely hitting its edges .
