What are guys using for rattles, I searched a little, but I see more bass sized stuff. Are there any readily available musky sized rattles to put in hard baits?

If you want bigger sized rattles for musky lures you can make your own out of brass tubing & steel ball bearings. I had seen a video on YouTube on how to make it but I can't remember who's channel I seen it on. It may have been Paul Adam's channel.

I tried a.45 casing with a couple steel bb's, I was hoping for a louder, deeper rattle. Thanks!

use one big bead instead of the small BBs. Some guys used 50 cal. lead balls on hollow baits
