Title: Buckshot Rattlers for Perch
Post by: Perch Killer on Dec 12, 2004, 12:19 AM: Anyone had any luck with the buckshot rattlers for perch, I picked up a couple to try this year just wondering if anyone has had success with them. If so what size is best. I got a couple 1/4oz, is that to big? or should I go smaller.
Thanks for the imput.
Bill

Buck-shot rattle spoons are one thing that i will never leave at home, i will always have at least 5 on the ice no matter what.

the hali more sublime...

The glow color of the buck-shot does not seem to work will for me on the lakes I have fished. Having said that I haven't invested as much time with the lure like I have with the others. I think I will invest more time with it this season, why? They're paid for! ;D

I've always used them with a dropper.
Northland has them pre-rigged, or make your own...

I have made my on droppers for pimples and I made one for Northlanders before. Can you tell me what's your most successful color? Also what's your most successful color for the Hali's? :tipup:

Hey Mole-
I can't say that I have one color out-produce all the others.
I always start with perch, then change it up as needed.

This is a nice rig... Is it home made? It almost looks like a rocker minnow

Cabelas in Hamburg had them last time I was up there. Also you can order them from northlandtackle.com.
