Knockin Tail Lure Chicken on a Chain 6pk — Built-In Tail Rattle | 4 in & 5 in

Knockin Tail Lure | Chicken on a Chain | Built-In Tail Rattle Paddle Tail Swimbait | Dark Olive-Brown Translucent Body with Red & Silver Fleck, Chartreuse Tail | Natural Forage Match for Inshore Redfish, Trout & Freshwater Bass | 6-Pack | 4 in & 5 in

The Knockin Tail Lure in Chicken on a Chain delivers the patented built-in tail rattle in a dark olive-brown translucent body loaded with red and silver fleck glitter, transitioning to a bright chartreuse tail — a proven natural-meets-reaction two-tone profile that imitates the watermelon-seed and crawfish forage color at the body while the chartreuse tail provides the high-visibility movement trigger that draws inshore saltwater and freshwater predators to the natural profile and converts the tracking approach into the committed strike. The dark translucent body’s olive-brown base with red and silver fleck creates the natural baitfish and crawfish shadow profile that passes close-range visual inspection in clear-to-moderate-clarity inshore and freshwater environments, while the bright chartreuse tail’s fast-action kick produces the high-contrast movement accent that speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and bass track from a distance and commit to at close inspection range. The built-in tail rattle’s clicking vibration extends the Chicken on a Chain’s effective reach beyond the natural body’s visual range in stained and variable-clarity water, and the combination of natural dark body with chartreuse tail covers the widest range of inshore and freshwater conditions between the purely natural forage colors and the fully opaque high-visibility reaction profiles. The 4 inch is the all-conditions universal presentation; the 5 inch adds the larger louder rattle and trophy big-profile scale for the bull redfish and big bass applications. Six lures per Original pack.

Key Features

• Patented Built-In Tail Rattle — Natural Body & Sound Dual Trigger — the built-in rattle molded directly into the body produces consistent clicking vibration that extends the Chicken on a Chain’s effective reach beyond the natural dark body’s visual range in stained and variable-clarity water; the rattle draws redfish, trout, flounder, and bass from beyond the visual range of the natural translucent profile in moderate-stain and variable-clarity inshore and freshwater environments; the dual stimulus — dark olive natural body with red/silver fleck visual forage match, chartreuse tail reaction accent, and built-in rattle lateral-line sound — produces the most complete all-conditions inshore strike trigger in the Knockin Tail lineup
• Chicken on a Chain Color — Dark Olive-Brown Translucent with Red & Silver Fleck + Chartreuse Tail — dark olive-brown translucent body with red dot and silver glitter fleck throughout, transitioning sharply to a bright chartreuse tail; the body’s dark translucent olive-brown with fleck imitates the watermelon-seed, crawfish, and dark baitfish forage profile that passes close-range forage-match inspection in clear-to-moderate-clarity inshore and freshwater conditions; the chartreuse tail provides the high-visibility movement trigger that draws predators to the natural dark body and produces the reaction commitment at the close-range moment of strike decision; the natural-plus-reaction two-tone that covers the widest range of conditions between purely natural and fully opaque reaction colors
• 4 in & 5 in — All-Conditions to Trophy Coverage — 4 inch for the all-conditions universal inshore swimbait presentation covering the core redfish, trout, and flounder size class across grass flats, oyster reefs, and back-bay structure; 5 inch for big-profile trophy applications with the larger louder rattle for bull redfish and big largemouth where the Chicken on a Chain natural-plus-chartreuse profile at full baitfish scale produces the most aggressive trophy strikes
• Fast-Action Paddle Tail — Chartreuse Tail Movement Accent — wide, fast tail kick at slow-to-moderate retrieve speeds; the bright chartreuse tail’s fast action produces a high-visibility movement trigger against the dark natural body — the maximum contrast between body and tail that inshore predators track to the natural dark profile and commit to strike; the Original material’s buoyancy produces the natural slow-fall that presents Chicken on a Chain’s dark body and chartreuse tail most effectively during the pause
• 6-Pack — Full Session Supply — 6 Original Knockin Tail Lures per pack in both the 4 inch all-conditions and 5 inch trophy sizes

How to Fish It

• 4 in Jig Head — Grass Flat & Oyster Reef Natural-Reaction — rig on a 1/4–3/8 oz jig head; retrieve slowly across clear-to-moderate-clarity grass flats and oyster reef edges in 2–5 feet; the dark olive body’s natural forage-match accuracy keeps selective trout and flounder engaged at close inspection range, while the chartreuse tail’s reaction kick draws the strike commitment; most effective in the moderate-clarity transition conditions between the clearest flats where purely natural colors dominate and the most stained water where full reaction colors are required
• With Knockin Cork — Natural Dark Body & Chartreuse Pop — rig 18–24 inches below the Knockin Cork on a fluorocarbon leader; pop and pause; the dark olive body and chartreuse tail’s maximum body-to-tail contrast is most visible below the cork surface disturbance in clear-to-moderate-clarity inshore water; the chartreuse tail’s high-contrast kick during the pop and natural slow-fall during the pause produces the complete visual trigger for suspended trout and redfish below the cork
• Flounder — Dark Bottom Forage Imitation — rig on a 3/8 oz jig head; slow-hop along the bottom at tidal creek mouths, channel edges, and sandy-to-mud bottom transitions in 2–6 feet; the dark olive-brown body with red and silver fleck imitates the crawfish and dark benthic baitfish that flounder ambush from the bottom; the chartreuse tail’s movement at low retrieve speeds provides the strike trigger as the body hops and settles
• 5 in Trophy Redfish — Big Natural Profile + Louder Rattle — rig on a 3/8–1/2 oz jig head; retrieve at moderate speed along main bay structure and open-water baitfish concentrations in 4–10 feet; the 5 inch Chicken on a Chain’s dark olive natural body at trophy scale with the larger louder rattle reaches bull redfish from the greatest open-water distances to the natural dark profile that closes the deal at inspection range
• Freshwater Bass — Watermelon-Seed Natural Forage — rig on a 3/16—1/4 oz jig head or swimbait hook; retrieve slowly along grass edges, dock lines, and brush structure in clear-to-moderate-clarity freshwater; the dark olive-brown translucent body with red and silver fleck is the classic watermelon-seed bass color that produces in the widest range of clear freshwater environments; the chartreuse tail’s reaction kick triggers the committed strike from largemouth and smallmouth at the moment of close-range inspection

Target Species

Redfish • Speckled Trout • Flounder • Snook • Largemouth Bass • Smallmouth Bass • Any inshore saltwater or freshwater predator in clear-to-moderate-clarity environments where a dark olive natural forage body with red/silver fleck and bright chartreuse tail built-in rattle paddle tail produces the most consistently productive all-conditions strikes.
