Strike King Midnight Special Rattlin 7/16oz Black/Silver-Black Blade

The Strike King Midnight Special Rattlin spinnerbait in 7/16 oz with Black/Silver-Black blade is purpose-built for low-light fishing when bass, pike, and other predators are most active. This double-blade spinner combines a compact short-arm design that amps up vibration and blade flash—keeping the action directly over the hook so fish commit to a solid strike rather than short-striking. The built-in rattle adds an auditory trigger that cuts through murky water or heavy cover, while dual Spin-Eze ball bearing swivels handle the torque of flipping and pitching without twisting or fouling your line.

The Black/Silver-Black blade variant delivers contrasting flash that mimics natural baitfish in dim conditions—the black blade provides a silhouette while the silver catches what light is available, creating a realistic baitfish profile. Whether you're working dawn and dusk on shallow flats, fishing stained water after rain, or probing heavy vegetation, this lure's compact profile lets you place it precisely in tight quarters.

Built for durability and performance, the 7/16 oz weight casts far enough for open-water presentations but remains manageable in dense cover. If you rely on spinnerbaits for low-light or night fishing, the Midnight Special Rattlin brings proven vibration, flash, and rattle together in a proven package that anglers have trusted for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this spinnerbait good for flipping and pitching heavy cover?

Yes. The Midnight Special Rattlin is specifically designed for flipping and pitching with Spin-Eze ball bearing swivels that handle the torque and reduce line twist when you're working dense vegetation or downed timber.

What makes the short-arm design effective?

The short arm increases vibration output and positions the flashing blade directly over the hook, so when fish strike they hit the right target instead of short-striking the arm or lure body.

Does the rattle help in murky water?

Yes. The built-in rattle adds a sound component that triggers strikes in low-light conditions, stained water, or anywhere visibility is limited. Fish can locate and respond to the lure through both vibration and auditory cues.

What hook does this lure feature?

The Black/Silver-Black blade version is equipped with chemically sharpened Mustad hooks built for reliability and penetration.
