    Question Pre-Rapala Wiggle Wart Question

    I have a handful of pre-rapala wiggle warts. Some are silent. Did they make a silent model or is the rattle lodged in the bait? If it's a lodged rattle, do these baits still have value?

    If the weight is lodged it might hunt...just saying.

    So you feel a buyer would think it would be more desirable?

    The Pre Rap had a Lead rattle that would get stuck some time. You can tap them on desk, freeze then run them under hot water to free the rattle. The lodged baits are still desirable as long as they swim right. They didn't make them without rattles on purpose.
