Crappie anglers building or rigging their own lures who want a large 56 piece supply of transparent plastic rattles in three sizes for $11.89, giving a range of rattle volume options from a single purchase rather than one fixed size.
Skip if
Skip this if you do not target Crappie specifically or do not build rattling lure rigs, since the 15mm, 21mm and 26mm sizes and steel ball rattle design are a specialized component rather than a general purpose fly tying material.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Crappie anglers who like to add rattle to a lure setup need a supply of rattle tubes on hand, and the Drchoer 56 Piece box covers that at $11.89. That price sits between the $9.29 GREATFISHING silicone set and the $12.99 Riverruns thread referenced elsewhere in this comparison, while the 4.3 star average across 221 reviews ties the GREATFISHING listing for the highest rating in the group.
The spec sheet lists 56 transparent plastic pieces at 9.07 grams total, split across three sizes, 15mm, 21mm and 26mm, with a stated feature of 2 to 3 steel balls inside each rattle. That three size range is more granular than most of the other listings in this comparison, which typically list a single size or a Medium designation.
221 reviews is the smallest sample among the products referenced here, trailing the 233 to 550 range on the other five listings, though the 4.3 star average attached to it matches the highest score in the comparison. Bought last month reads 0+ for this Drchoer listing, consistent with every other listing here besides the Hareline NB377, which shows 50+ for the same stretch.
Pros
- 4.3 star rating ties the highest average in this comparison
- 56 pieces per box works out to roughly 21 cents per rattle at $11.89
- Three sizes included, 15mm, 21mm and 26mm, covering different lure builds from one purchase
- Steel balls inside each rattle, 2 to 3 per piece, per the listed feature
- Transparent color spec keeps the rattle low profile against most lure bodies
Cons
- 221 reviews is the smallest sample of any product in this comparison
- 0+ bought last month gives no signal of recent demand
- Built specifically for Crappie lures, not a general fly tying material like most other listings here
- 9.07 gram total weight across 56 pieces means each rattle is very light and small, worth confirming fits the intended lure body

Performance notes
The three listed sizes, 15mm, 21mm and 26mm, mean the 56 pieces in this box are not identical, but split across a size range suited to different lure bodies and different desired rattle volumes. A 9.07 gram total weight across all 56 pieces confirms these are small, lightweight inserts rather than heavy tackle components, consistent with a rattle chamber meant to sit inside a soft plastic or hard lure body without adding meaningful weight to the cast. The stated feature of 2 to 3 steel balls inside each rattle is what produces the actual rattling sound when a Crappie angler works the lure, with the plastic tube acting as the chamber. At $11.89 for 56 pieces, the per unit cost works out to about 21 cents, which is inexpensive relative to buying rattle inserts individually.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average ties the highest rating posted in this comparison, matched only by the GREATFISHING Micro Silicone set, but the 221 reviews behind it is the smallest sample of the six products referenced here, trailing the 233 review GREATFISHING listing and well behind the 527 to 550 range on the two thread products. That combination, a strong average built on a comparatively modest review base, suggests early positive reception rather than a long track record at scale. Bought last month reads 0+, the same baseline shared by every listing in this comparison except the Hareline NB377's 50+, so there is no visible recent spike in the data provided.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes of rattles are in the Drchoer box?
The box includes 56 pieces split across three sizes, 15mm, 21mm and 26mm, giving Crappie anglers a range of rattle volumes to match different lure bodies. All pieces are transparent plastic and weigh 9.07 grams combined, with 2 to 3 steel balls inside each one.
How does the 221 review count compare to other fly tying materials?
It is the smallest review sample in this comparison, behind the 233 review GREATFISHING listing and well behind the 359 to 550 range posted by the Hareline CDC28 and Hareline NB377 products. The 4.3 star average attached to those 221 reviews still ties the highest rating among the six products referenced here.
Is this rattle set specific to Crappie fishing?
Yes, the listing specifies Crappie as the target species, unlike most of the other products in this comparison which are general fly tying materials. At $11.89 for 56 pieces across three sizes, it is built as a dedicated rattle chamber supply rather than a broader tying material.
