Googan Baits Rattlin' Ned Mud Minnow — 2.75-Inch Bass Lure

Elevate Your Ned Rig with a Subtle Rattle

The Googan Baits Rattlin' Ned Mud Minnow adds a compact rattle chamber inside premium plastic, delivering a light clacking sound that can draw bites in tight cover and clear water alike. At 2.75 inches, this bait provides a balanced profile that teams up well with small mushroom-style heads and light jig heads, making it a versatile choice for bass rivers, lakes, and backups around structure.

What makes this lure stand out

• 2.75" length with an economical 8 baits per package for extended days on the water
• Soft texture paired with an innovative design for natural movement and resilience
• Built-in rattle chamber with rattles included for an audible cue at the strike zone
• Slaunch Sauce scent and salt infusion to enhance attraction and durability

Rigging is straightforward: pair the Ned Mud Minnow with a small mushroom-head or light jig head. Light rod-tip twitches produce a subtle THUMP that can help you detect bites in windy or stained conditions. Anglers report success on both smallmouth and largemouth when presenting this bait on the right jig setup and in active cover.

How to fish it effectively

• Use mushroom-style heads or small jig heads to keep the action tight and the rattle audible
• Apply light, methodical twitches at the rod tip to elicit the THUMP and provoke bites
• Maintain a steady retrieve with occasional pauses to mimic a fleeing prey pattern
• Focus on ambush zones such as weed edges, dock pilings, and submerged structure for best results

The Rattlin' Ned Mud Minnow is designed to complement a bass angler’s short-stick approach, offering a compact, scent-enhanced option that can broaden your lure choices without adding bulk to your tackle box. While outcomes vary with water conditions and fish behavior, this lure provides a tangible set of tools—vibration, aroma, and action—that may help you read the fish better and adapt your presentation accordingly.
