Look at it this way - what's the worst that can happen? Give it a go, for me, half the fun in fishing is experimenting and trying out new tactics. You can soon change a rig over in a matter of seconds.

Or are you thinking of doing the rattling from the shore with a soccer rattle as in ...

Can't do any harm. Fish pick up on vibrations and rattlers are put in a lot of lures these days to make some noise as they fish.

At one time, when I used to a lot of boat fishing, I used to use a Cod Rattler, a 35mm film cannister with some BB split shot in it. This used to sit between the lead and the main line and was supposed to work on the same principles. I can't in all honesty say that I know if it caught me any more fish...but it certainly didn't seem to catch me any less.

I purchased a few ready made cod rattlers and used them on a wreckin trip out of liverpool and while everyone was into ling and conger I caught 2 cod one at 8lb and another at 12. These were the only 2 caught in a 12hr trip. So all I can say is that it worked for me. Give it a go. Keith
