Question Rattles anyone?

Has anyone ever put rattles in their wood? I know the wood would deaden the sound, but might still give off some vibration.
Thanks

Looks like nobody tried it? I'm thinking of routing a groove between the belly holes and epoxy in a couple of stamina rattles.
My rubba with rattles always outfishes without.If it works with wood i'll let you know.

I made a few canal specials that rattle...drilled the arse end too deep and the weight slid back and forth on the thru-wire and rattled. Now I do a few that way, it works pretty well.

Thumbs up

Thanks Chris,sounds like a good way to do it.Did you enclose the shot in a glass vial or just let them roll inside?

justplugit, actually they are the tail weights with a hole in the center for the wire to go through them..does that sound right? They slide up and down the thru-wire inside the plug.

Hope this helps

Chris

Thanks
