To rattle or not to rattle, that is the question. What’s your answer?
Some anglers swear by the mountains, moon, and stars that sound vibrations from a lure trigger fish into attacking. Others claim the sound from the rattle on a lure doesn’t make any difference, and can even scare off fish. Science on the subject proves that fish react to sound, but not always the way an angler desires.
Experts believe that injured bait fish send out sound vibrations in the water. Predatory fish are able to interpret this sound as a distress signal from injured bait.
There’s no doubt that sound travels through water and effects the way fish behave. Without definite proof, it does seem plausible that fish inspect sound out of curiosity.
