Vintage Diamond Eye Rattler Topwater Fishing Lure Capt Jim Strader's 1970s

Description: VINTAGE Captain Jim Strader's Diamond Rattler Topwater Fishing Lure Pick your size color! One of the all-time greatest lures ever! And first fishing lure with a rattle! A native of Kentucky, the young Jim Strader became fascinated by his discovery that the noise generated by stones clicked together underwater attracted fish, and in 1949 he began experimenting with a noise-producing lure. In 1957 Strader moved to Florida, where he continued studying the effects of underwater sounds on fish while working as a backcountry guide, offshore charter boat captain and commercial fisherman. Strader's research led to the development of the Diamond Rattler, one of the first plugs to use a sound chamber for added fish attraction, and to the Strader Tackle Company in Havana, Florida in 1972. The Diamond Rattler revolutionized the tackle industry in that almost every modern topwater plug, crankbait or plastic worm accessory now incorporates a sound chamber in their design. 3/8 oz 3" or 5/8 oz 4 1/4" Vintage Topwater Plug made in the early 70s.Torpedo style with front and rear propellers.
