Want a 1/2oz floating jerkbait without rattles

[Tpayneful]

Does anyone know of a floating jerkbait that weighs between 3/8 and 1/2oz?  I love the floating Rapala but they don't have one in this size.  All of the other ones that I look at have rattles.  I fish clear water and wanted one that doesn't have rattles.

I have only seen these at Cabelas I bought a few last year I dint get to use them that much but they definitely caught fish

I can attest to the twitchin raps ability to catch fish although, they do not float, they will sink at a moderate to slow rate.  It saved me from getting skunked in my first tourney last year.  It couldn't keep me out of the cellar though.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Surprisingly there don't seem to be any jerkbaits in the 3/8 to 1/2 oz weight that don't have rattles.

I have not thrown a Rebel in awhile I seem to think that they don't have rattles in them. They have one 3/8 oz and 1 oz also a jointed one 1/2 oz.

Try a Floating Rogue

I also think the Cotton Cordell Red Fin is without rattles also.

There was a story awhile back in Bassin or BassMaster about taking the rattles out  of a bait. Just  drill a small hole let the rattles out and fill the hole with epoxy. I have not done this,but if I wanted a non rattle floater that I would do this. 8-) 8-) :

Rapala makes the balsa LC Long-Casting Minnow (freshwater) which features a weight transfer system. It is 4" long and weighs in at 3/8 ounce. It runs between 1' and 3'

Check these lures out they have several silent jerkbaits.

The K-1 Minnow Hime floating weighs a 1/2oz. and is silent.

Thank you for all of the suggestions!  I have a couple of Bomber Long A lures that I drilled a hole in and dumped out the rattles and epoxied the holes.  I have not seen the Rapala LC minnow in any stores yet.  I will try that if I find one.  I will take a look at the Rebel, Red Fin and K-1 as well.  

Today I was at the Bassarama fishing show in Richmond, Virginia and saw a balsa jerkbait that looks almost exactly like a Rapala floating minnow.  It is the Bagley Bang o lure and they have one that weighs 3/8 oz.  They didn't have any except for the one on the display.  I did a quick google search and it looks like they are available all over the place.

The Bagleys are great lures. We tear them up on the streams.

If you want something that is exactlly what you want in size, weight or color, one thing that has not been mentioned is custom.
