Attractants & Rigging Components

The small stuff that makes bass hold longer and bite harder. Scent attractants mask human odor and add fish-attracting smell. Rattles create noise that calls fish from a distance. Skirts add bulk and action. Tubing protects knots and adds color. These aren't gimmicks — they're proven add-ons that fine-tune presentations and trigger more strikes.

Why Attractants and Add-Ons Work

Bass use all their senses — sight, sound, smell, and feel. Attractants give them one more reason to bite and hold on longer before they spit it. Rattles create vibration and noise that draws fish in stained water or low light. Skirts add profile and pulsing action. The right add-ons don't replace good technique — they enhance it.

What You'll Find Here

Scent Attractants: Mask human scent and add fish-attracting smell to soft plastics and hard baits. Bass hold scented baits longer — giving you more time to feel the bite and set the hook. Works best in pressured water and tough-bite conditions.

Rattles: Glass and plastic rattles that add sound and vibration to soft plastics. Insert into hollow baits or rig inside creature baits for extra noise. Calls fish from a distance in stained water, low light, and active feeding windows.

Skirts & Trailers: Replacement skirts for jigs and spinnerbaits, plus silicone trailers that add bulk and action. Hand-tied skirts pulse and flare on every hop. Trailers dial in profile and movement to match conditions.

Rigging Components: Tubing for protecting knots and adding color, bobber stops for Carolina rigs, beads for noise and knot protection, and pegs for locking weights in place. The small parts that keep rigs fishing right and lasting longer.

How to Use Attractants and Add-Ons

Apply scent to soft plastics before rigging — a few drops on the bait and your hands. Reapply after a few casts or after catching fish. Insert rattles into hollow soft plastics or creature baits before rigging. Replace worn skirts on jigs to restore action and profile. Use tubing to protect knots from abrasion and add a pop of color at the hook eye.

Don't overdo it. A little scent goes a long way. Too many rattles create noise that spooks fish instead of attracting them. Match skirt color and size to water clarity and bait profile.

The Details That Separate Good from Great

Attractants and rigging components are the details that separate good anglers from great ones. They don't catch fish on their own — but they give you an edge when conditions get tough, fish get pressured, or bites get light. When everyone's throwing the same baits, the small stuff makes the difference.
