I ordered a few to test out and I will say that is the first thing I noticed when I opened the pack was that they seem like they would come apart easy. I havent tried them yet but just by the looks of them idk how well they will stay closed. May have to put something on them to make sure they stay closed.

I've not had any issues with them coming apart when testing or since that time using my normal gear.

We found after Whisker Seeker released the product that a handful of people had problems with them coming apart. In speaking with them it was determine that it was an issue with hooks. I also have a suspicion it could have something to do with knots as well.

Long story short, make sure you use a bead between whatever the rattle is running against and you should not have any issues.

Hooks and swivels that can wedge themselves into the eye of the rattle are where the issue occurs. I've not had one issue with the hooks I use and the "easy snell" with them coming open but have been testing with some alternate hooks and had a few issues. When I added the bead between the hook and the rattle these issues were eliminated.

I had some people that didn't want to use a bead and they told me they put a drop of super glue on each side as an alternate fix and said they had no issues.

Damn how does that happen ? They probably have it to where the weight is on top and when casting it bangs on the rattle. I will have my rattle on the leader. And my no roll on the main line on the other side of the crane swivel.
