Location: Moses Lake, WA		Another 12" basswood with rattle chamber and lexan lip. So why is it running silent? That's because the ball bearing got glued to the side of the rattle chamber. This happens on occasion but normally I can just rap the lure on a table top and the ball bearing breaks loose. Not this time, it's glued tight, so I've got a rattle chamber with no rattle. Aggravating!

May be aggravating but still a very cool looking bait! (Don't know your adhesive but might gently warming lure soften it enough to allow the table rap to work?)

Location: Moses Lake, WA		I use epoxy to glue in the quarters that are used as sounds plates. What I should have done is spray the ball bearing with WD40 before dropping it into the rattle chamber and sealing it in. I won't make that mistake again.

Who knows, maybe it will be in just the right spot to give the lure a unique roll or dive.

Location: Moses Lake, WA		You probably haven't caught a baitfish with hooks on it either.
