The Rattle Rouser

Notes:  This Rattle Rouser streamer is a good searching
pattern because
it has auditory appeal in addition to visual appeal.  It has a rattle
cylinder
incorporated into their design that sends out a tantalizing clicking
sound. 
Some predatory fish have better visual capabilities than others but all
fish rely on their "lateral line" nerve to help them find food. 
Their lateral line sensor picks up vibrations sent through the water by
noise. 
An abrupt or unnatural noise will spook fish but the subtle click, pop,
or flutter of unsuspecting and wounded prey will attract the attention
of
a curious or hungry predator, especially in murky water, where fish
rely on hearing to locate food.  





This streamer is an excellent pattern for game fish that feed on
minnows.  From Florida to Texas, the R.R.'s have caught bass, catfish,
stripped
bass, redfish, speckled trout, flounder, king mackerel, and snook. 
Also in Montana, a friend of mine took some nice 22" brown trout with a
gold/olive R.R.
