Why Rattling Tail Lures Catch More Fish


Fish don’t just see prey—they feel it. At Knockin Tail Lures, we have engineered the only soft plastic lures with a built-in tail rattle to capitalize on this instinct. Whether you're working grass flats or flipping docks, the added sound and vibration give you the edge when it matters most.


 How Sound Helps Fish Hunt

Fish detect sound and pressure waves through their lateral line. That’s why noise-producing lures—like rattling crankbaits or topwaters—work so well. With Knockin Tail Lures' integrated tail rattle, you get that same strike-triggering sound in a weedless, soft plastic profile.


 Built-In Rattle = Built-In Advantage

Our built-in-tail rattles are part of the mold—no inserts, no add-ons. That means every Knockin Tail Lure maintains perfect balance, action, and durability. More sound. Less rigging. More sound. More strikes. More fish.


The Clear Choice for Saltwater and Freshwater Fishing

From coastal flats to inland lakes, Knockin Tail Lures are built to perform in both saltwater and freshwater. The integrated tail rattle attracts fish like redfish, trout, snook, and flounder in the surf—just as effectively as it draws strikes from bass and walleye in freshwater.
