Where do you guys buy your rattle collars from? The collars I bought ended up being low quality..
The hole for the hook is blocked on most...and they not "clean" molded like you'd expect. (Fluffy like rubber-bad mold)
A lot of them just tear when I try add them to my jigs.
I use these only for adding rattles to my jig..it doesn't hold the skirt.
1.So where can I buy high quality collar & rattles...
2. and what the preferred/best way to add rattles to jigs. (I saw a 7mm glass rattle pod which looks good.)
Picture attached is to show what my current rattle collars look like..but mine aren't as clean as the one pictured.

Re: Rattle strap collar for jigs
It's a crap shoot on getting really cleanly molded rattle collars. First of all they will not hold a skirt on, because it has to stretch so much, you will usually break them. The ones you show are mainly used by tying it on, or slipped over the second collar on a two collar jig. You can also just wire tie or thread tie the collars directly onto your jig.
Re: Rattle strap collar for jigs
I like to add/remove rattles as required. I know its not ideal but hey clear water doesn't require rattles lol.
We'll if anyone has any suggestions on where I can get good quality collars feel free to share.

Re: Rattle strap collar for jigs
i got some from TW recently and they were about half and half as far as cleanly molded. broke a couple trying to fit them over the keeper.
Re: Rattle strap collar for jigs
So I found a seller on ebay that sells rattle straps and they are great quality. Double the price but if you are seeking quality then give him a try.
