Comments: i fish these like weightless senkos texas rigged on a bfs set up. works pretty well and using a small screw lock owner cultiva they seem to hold up decently. not fantastic but well enough to last for a quick pond hopping session on lunch breaks.

p>Comments: These have the potential to be awesome, but they leave me wanting more in the way of durability. One fish and the plastic is torn beyond recognition and the rattle shattered. For the cost of how many of these you'd need for a good day of fishing you might as well buy a rattle snaker tool and throw a rattle in whatever ned you already have around.
From: Matty: Tucson, Az 5/30/23
Comments: Not my favorite ned bait, especially for the price. There isn't anything horribly significant about them; the rattle is more marketing work than a real difference in performance. Let's talk durability; they're awful like all googan plastics. These baits do catch fish, but what ned rig plastic doesn't? And for how terrible the price and durability are, I won't ever buy them again. I'll continue to go Z-man.
From: Dylan: Minnesota 4/7/23
Comments: These baits are definitely not meant to sit still. They need to be hopped or dragged to get the most out of them. I do thing they are a good little bait for bed fishing at the very least. Also, the rattle comes out pretty easily and it allows the bait to have an air pocket and float up a little better. The colors are on point. I like to fish these on really light Texas rigs.
From: Elijah: 1/10/23
Comments: These get bit. Durability isn't the greatest, but when you're catching fish who cares. These have a place in my tackle box.
From: Don: Grand Rapids, MI 11/4/21
Comments: These are for warmer water where you can use these to snap jig or hop to utilize the rattle. They for sure will catch fish, I averaged 5 or so fish per bait. Which to me is fine. I would go somewhere else for a colder water dead sticking type of approach. But yeah, the goal is to catch fish right? Get the rattle going, and you're in for a fun day.
From: Andrew: Kansas City, MO 9/15/21
Comments: This bait is alright. It has great scent and the rattle definitely is a bonus, but it's action is not quite as good as NED bait competitors. I was given a pack of these (dirty rice) while I was on vacation this summer in Wisconsin and caught plenty of big bluegill, trophy rock bass, and a few smallies on them. But, I will see how they work here in Texas in muddier water. Definitely not my GO-TO but better than I thought, seeing as how they are a Googan bait.
From: Landon: Texas 1/12/21
Comments: Rattles break easy and durability is bad. If lucky you may catch 2 or 3 fish before having to switch out. That being said they put more fish in the boat for me than any other Ned rig.
From: Unknown: 12/29/20
Comments: I have not had a rattling break, or no issues at all. Quite the opposite, I catch the heck out of fish on them. My favorite go to bait all of last year. I didn't tank test it, I lake tested it. I caught several smallmouth all spring included a 5lb smallmouth and 5 lb. Largemouth. You boys don't buy anymore and that way I will have plenty.
From: Tommy: Franklin, TN 11/27/20
Comments: These are amazing you can fish them on just a plain ewg bass hook. i have caught 100+ fish on these already 10/10 recommend.
From: Tristan: Kentucky 10/21/20
Comments: Theese do not stand up like the trd ned baits and they rip easily, your lucky if you get 2 fish out of each bait and fishing around rocks the glass rattle breaks after 1 or 2 cast. But I do like the scent and they do catch fish I've caught a 4 pound and a 3.5 pound smallmouth on them so far, but for the price compared to other brands I don't think I will be buying anymore.
From: Cameron 10/15/20
Comments:This bait is bad. I put it on a zman weedless ned hook and went out to the lake. I first put the bait in the water to see the action. Nada. nope. Zlitch. Just lays down like its a dead stick at the bottom of the lake. You can bounce it all you want it just looks like a dead stick. Overall, i probably am not gonna buy these again. Only googan product i think sucks.
From: Unknown: Maryland 9/4/20
Comments:I support the googan squad there popper is amazing but the Rattlin Ned just isn't one of those amazing baits for me the issue is it doesn't stand up or have any action I prefer the Ned bomb or the z man Trd For the go to Ned rig baits
From: Freddy: Paso Robles, CA 7/24/20
Comments:The plastic is very soft and does tend to fall apart after only a few fish. They don't stand up on the bottom but still can be used with a moderate degree of success when the water is warm and you can get away with moving the bait a little more. It is a good concept but seems more like a niche bait. If you're looking for versatility, I'd say go with a Z-man TRD or Ticklerz, or a Roboworm ned worm.
From: Brenden: Michigan 6/5/20
Comments: Picked up a pack of these at a local store. Good news and bad news... The reviews are correct, they don't float, they don't hold up well, see previous reviews... Good news, these puppies catch fish. I put them on a mushroom head jig and caught 7 fish and only smoked through 2 baits. Overall not great, not terrible, will probably buy again
From: Tyler: Iowa 4/6/20
Comments:When I used this bait it didn't float and it wasn't durable
From: Unknown: 2/6/20
Comments:My favorite ned bait, no they don't stand up well because the rattle is to big and they do tear easily but it catches fish. They should have used a 3mm rattle instead of a 5mm.
From: Keith: Alabama 12/31/19
Comments:DO NOT BUY! I ran a tank test putting these against my personal favorite Z-Man TRDs and the new Yum Ned Dinger. The Rattlin Ned has Zero action compared to both of them and doesn't stand up on the bottom.
From: Tyler: Minnesota 12/17/19
Comments:Tear too easily, and fall over on the bottom.
From: Unknown: 11/13/19
Comments:Ok, I do buy Googan stuff just because I think they do good work in their videos and want to support. I knew that these didn't stand up because they didn't float but my wife saw a color in the store that she thought was "pretty" and we decided to get it. Long story short...no bass all day, but I did legit hook a 38" musky on this bait. That is enough for me to prove it works.
From: Todd: Illinois 11/5/19
Comments:Great idea, but it does not stand up very well. When it hits the bottom it falls down unlike the zman trds. I bought one pack of these and the rattle broke after every fish. I like the colors, but I will stick to trd.
From: Unknown: 9/27/19
Comments:as with all googan baits these things suck. much better with any other ned rig product over this. they rip after one fish and are too oily. just poorly made.
From: Jedediah: FL 9/23/19
Comments:Tears easily, pretty much a one fish bait and the way ned baits get bit need something more durable
From: Tom: Milan 9/15/19
Comments:Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but here's mine: don't buy these. The rattles in this bait are pointless if you ask me. There isn't much sound and it doesn't make sound when its most important: on the deadstick. The plastic doesn't float, which is an absolute must on a ned worm. This bait falls to the bottom and then lays down lifelessly. To add to that, they aren't durable at all (1-2 fish per bait in my experience). I catch a lot of bluegill, rock bass, and green sunfish with these (almost as much as I catch bass). Lastly, they are just more expensive that their competitors for what they are.
From: Patrick: Birmingham 9/2/19
Comments:Solid Ned bait, works well on a Hard Hat Dead Bolt jig-head, only complaint is that the rattles break after one fish. I even broke one by just casting against a boat. They will still work without the rattle, but there are a million Ned baits without rattles you can buy for cheaper.
From: Jackson:Buena Park, CA8/27/19
Comments:Very disappointed with these as I love the original Ned Rig with a TRD, but these are awful. They don't float, the rattle is almost silent, and they tear so easily. Don't buy these, Stick with the real Zman TRD!
From:Charlie: Lake Simcoe 8/17/19
Comments:its a good bait but they tear within 3 fish and they are not good anymore id just personally stick with z-man turds.
From:Jared: Knoxville, TN 8/16/19
Comments:Caught my pb on the first day using it. 5-6 pound smallie!
From:Noah: 7/31/19
Comments:I've spent a day with the new Rattlin' Ned. The concept is there, the quality is there, great lure overall. However my one downfall with this is it is so fragile compared the competition Z-man with the elaztech stretching capabilities. The Rattlin' Ned fell apart after 1 fish and was completely ripped in half after 2 fish. Also the rattle fell out after the first fish, no big deal seeing how it is removable anyway. I most likely will only use this lure on tough days and need the rattle, also will not go out of my way to purchase it again. Give it a try though because you may prefer the action/sound over durability!
From:Connor: 7/30/19
Comments:Oily. Very soft. Glass rattle is nice. Works and looks good on a ned rig. Durability is similar with other Googan baits. Tears easily. They do work though.
From:Brian Kohl 7/28/19
Comments:This is not a good Ned rig bait. It does not stand up vertically! I you let this bait rest on the bottom it just falls over. Very disappointing
From: Ben:Longmont, CO7/27/19
Comments:So I ordered these and I can say they are decent but on Ned rig heads with big bait keepers, they will tear up super fast. I caught two fish on them and had to replace the bait both times because of how fast they ripped in half. Overall I would recommend them but be sure you use the wire bait holder style jig heads.
From: Michael: Arkansas 7/26/19
Comments:Was excited to try the Rattlin Ned and ultimately dissapointed. The rattle does seem like a nice inclusion, however it doesn't really function as a rattle should when fishing with the subtle, finesse action/technique of the Ned. Also, the rattle weighs the worm down and causes it to lay on the bottom as opposed to standing as it should (like a Z-Man TRD). All in all, the rattle is useless.
From:Unknown: 7/19/19
Comments:This is a great concept but poorly executed. One fish and the bait is either extremely torn or the rattle is broken. But this bait catches fish.
