The Bruiser Baits Death Rattle Lipless Crankbait is built for loud, aggressive presentations that draw reaction strikes from even the most lethargic bass. Engineered with a distinctive rattle chamber and a tight, vibrating wobble, this bait excels in both open water and around submerged grass. Whether you’re burning it across flats, ticking it through cover, or yo-yoing it along drop-offs, the Death Rattle delivers big sound and bold flash that demand attention. It’s an excellent tool for covering water fast and triggering instinctual bites.

Techniques:
This lipless crank shines with a steady retrieve across grass lines, but it really comes alive when ripped and paused to imitate a wounded baitfish. Use a “yo-yo” style retrieve around points, channel swings, or deep grass beds, especially in cooler water months. Burn it over shallow flats to locate active fish, or slow it down in colder water to tempt less aggressive bass. The loud internal rattle makes it a go-to option in stained water or windy conditions when visibility is limited.

Recommended Gear:
Reel: 6.4:1 to 7.3:1 gear ratio baitcasting reel
Rod: 7'0" Medium Power LUNKERSTICK with Moderate Fast action
Line: 12–17 lb fluorocarbon or 30–40 lb braid with fluoro leader

Our Take:
The Death Rattle delivers what you want in a lipless crankbait—loud noise, tight action, long casting, and a profile that flat-out catches fish. Its unique sound chamber gives it a deeper tonal quality than many lipless cranks on the market, which can be a game-changer on pressured waters. It’s especially effective during fall and early spring when bass are feeding on shad. Affordable and rugged, the Death Rattle is a sleeper lipless bait that deserves a spot in your rotation when you need to fire up a school.
