Claim 11:
12. A fishing lure clapper device, the device comprising:
a metal fishing lure, the fishing lure having a proximal lure end, an opposing distal lure end and at least one fishhook at the distal lure end;
a metal strike member, the strike member having an attachment strike member end attachable to the proximal lure end of the fishing lure, an opposing free strike member end and at least one parabolic water flow contact surface between the attachment strike member end and the free strike member end,
a strike member connector loosely attaching the strike member to the fishing lure, whereby flow of water against the at least one water flow contact surface of the strike member causes the strike member to repetitively move at random orientations and strike the fishing lure as the fishing lure is retrieved through the water in a water body,
whereby repetitive contact between the strike member and the fishing lure generates vibration and clicking or clapping sounds in the water,
whereby the vibration and clicking or clapping sounds attract fish to the fishing lure and agitate or entice the fish to strike the fishing lure.
