Ridgeback Rattlers

[EsoxHunter]

Does anyone have any experience using Ridgeback Rattlers? Are they worth the money?

We ran them for a few years. WE found that the A-TOM-MIK torpedos tracked better at deeper depths. I know I'm comparing a 13lb RR to a 15lb Torpedo, but for the money the torpedos just work and track great. We caught a lot of fish behind those RRs though. We still have a pair, but they haven't seen the water in a few years.

Thanks. So I gather no benefit from the sonic trail from the ports?

I'm not going to go there. That's something I don't think we can ever scientifically prove. I did watch a Coho go from the surface to a 90' rigger one day to whack that spoon. I've heard of stories where it turned someones day around by putting them in the water. I guess it comes down to your confidence in something.
