Specifically, check out the Heddon Feathered Treble Super Spook Jr with all the attracting qualities of the original, plus a feathered rear treble, a single, knocking rattle, upgraded hook hangers and split rings connecting the hooks, helping to keep bass from coming unbuttoned

There's room to attach a travel tripod on the exterior too
