Joe Knapik
Joe will be tying "The Rattler"
The Rattler
"Fishing for bass has been a passion for me for some time and
trying to get bass to strike can be painful at times especially if the
conditions are less than ideal. One such condition is off colored water
when fish have a hard time seeing our fly, thus came about the Rattler.
Noise attracts all bass and by adding a rattle to our fly will get their
attention. I tie the rattler in two forms, the streamer for stripping and
the clouser for jigging, both seem to work very well and have saved many a
fishing trip."
