The "World's Finest" jig is featured in BOOTH #1 at the Rockport Fishing Expo, showcasing its new US Patent (#11,666,044B2) and an improved rattling jighead called the U-LOCK™, developed by the original inventor, pioneer, and 'Father' of rattling jig-heads - Rex Hoyt.
TEXAS RATTLER™ is also proud to present the only self-supporting weedguard system with rattling 3D Gold and CROAKER * MUD MINNOW spoons, which include eyes on both sides, as well as a 3D Gold Spoon featuring a self-supporting weed guard system.
The TEXAS WALKING SHRIMP™ and the latest Texas Roach, Pink Shad, and CROAKER soft plastic swim baits have been tourney tested, delivering podium finishes that earn $$$ whether used under a popping cork, on jigs, freelined, or freelined weedless.

ANN's BAIT & TACKLE
North Cove Harbor
Rockport, Texas
Ann's Bait & Tackle stocks ALL the TEXAS RATTLER™ terminal tackle and is a proud supporter of the local fishing community and has the freshest bait in town. Located at Cove Harbor North, her bait & tackle shop is right on the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW), providing easy access to shrimp boats, which helps keep costs economical for them since her shop is conveniently closer to the ICW.
Drawing water from depths of 16' - 18' feet from the ICW and North Cove Harbor, Ann's B & T maintains cooler water in the summer, ensuring that her live bait is always lively and fresh.
In addition to live bait, Ann's shop offers TEXAS RATTLER™ terminal tackle, including all the rattling products made by TEXAS RATTLER™—rattling spoons, rattling jigheads, and the Custom soft plastics. Make sure to visit Ann's Bait & Tackle when in town the rest of the year.
