Ice Fihin Nut:
Anybody have any sketches on building your own rattle reels????? Wanted to make a couple, but dont have any ideas on how to start........ ???

wendall:
maybe a silly question, but whats a rattle reel?

Ice Fihin Nut:
Its a reel that is mounted to the side of your shack with a rattle in it. When the fish takes, the rattle goes off letting you know that you have a fish on!!!!  ;)

If you have a Gander Mt near you they sell the Rattle reels that mount to a shanty Ive got them mounted on a 2' peice of doll with a spike on the end used similar to a tipup just push it in the ice lean it over the center of the hole so the line goes down the center and set the tipup flag.

If you can get any spools that bulk line comes on they work pretty good.

Just put some BBs,small jingle bells, or marbles in them and put a dowel through the center hole and attach to the wall or mount the dowel to a large spring clamp so the rattle reel can be portable.
