I own a bunch of 10” believers, I would like to quiet them down, has anyone tried
To freeze up the rattles, I’m thinking about doing it to some of them.
Any tips would be appreciated

No but I have done it to 8 and 10" Jakes numerous times. I've used Gorilla Glue, and more recently, vegetable oil, then plug with a screw and epoxy shut. You can experiment with the oil amount to make them neutrally buoyant if you want, and it pretty much quites the rattle down. I'm sure you could do the believers the same way, but I found a Jake cutaway showing the internal chambers so i could best figure out where to drill, haven't seen one of those for believers. Probably you can see through a white one with a bright light to see where the chambers are.

Thanks

I want the lure to troll good so I may just stick with the glue.

If you're interested, Drifter sells 10" Believers and some of their other lures without rattles in them.
