Location: NE PA | spring time rattle bite is just to burn them in. When fishing rattle baits in deep water i sometimes let them sink to the bottom and then use quick snaps of the rod and let it flutter back toward the bottom without letting it settle a second time. |

| I have never caught a fish on a rattletrap in the figure 8, they will hit on the retrieve. Burn them. |

| Will burning a Rattle Trap work in very cold water? |

| Low 40's up to around 60 degrees. Works well trolling as well. |

| I use to use them a lot in the Mississippi river when I lived in Brainerd. They worked good, there a loud lure and would echo under the bridges and around concrete loudly and I never burned them back then just a medium paced steady retrieve and then a 8. |
