Abstract:
1. A fishing lure for attachment to the end of a fishing line for use in catching fish, comprising: a) a cylindrical cage having first and second opposing ends, said cage having a cavity of substantially uniform diameter therein, said cage made up of wire like elements extending a full length of said cage without any intersecting cross members extending transversely to said wire like elements so that water can flow freely through said cage, the first end of said cage having said wire like elements converging to form a rounded shape and said wire like elements converging at the second end to form a point; b) a plurality of spherical objects being disposed in said cavity, said objects being loosely confined in said cage, said objects being movable in said cage so that said objects strike each other producing sound as the fishing lure moves through the water, said cylindrical cage having a greater diameter than the diameter of each said object but a diameter not large enough to allow said spherical objects to pass each other whereby said objects create a rattling sound as the fishing lure moves through the water; c) a connector being disposed on said first end of said cage for attachment to a fishing line; and, d) a fish hook being disposed on said second end of said cage to permit a fish to be hooked as the fish strikes the fishing lure.
