To Rattle, Or Not To Rattle?

Fish jigs about 95% if the time in fall and winter but don't know anything about putting a rattle on a jig.

Night fishing no matter where, me 100% rattle.

Day Fishing stained - off color - muddy water, me 100 % rattle.

Day Fishing Clear Water, start with no rattle but if not much is happening and I think that the jig is the bait that I need to be using then I will switch to a rattle. I have several different rattles from single tube glass or plastic rattles that can be inserted in the body of the trailer which put off a subtle tick, to an aluminum chamber rattle that attaches to the trailer for a bit more louder tick, to twin chamber rattles that I thread over the hook and attach to the jig head that really bang and make a lot of noise plus the move around and look like pinchers on a crawfish. I start with the quietest rattle then move up if needed and even that depends on how deep I am fishing, the more depth I am fishing the louder I want my rattle. Just what I do.
