ABSTRACT:
A snag-resistant or weedless fishing lure visually simulating two aquatic creatures swimming one above the other while emitting a fish attracting rattling sound. The lure comprising a lower weighted ballast aquatic creature body with hook, and an upper symmetrically shaped rattle body resembling a baitfish and which includes at least one rattle chamber containing shot or rattle members. The lure bodies are attached to a "V" wire harness to which a fishing line is attached, the attachment of the rattle body includes the use of anti-spin structuring preventing spinning but allowing side to side swinging. As the lure is pulled through the water, the rattle body moves in a side to side swinging motion causing the rattle member(s) to impact the walls defining the chamber and make vibration detectable by fish. In a preferred embodiment, a floor (or floors) in the rattle chamber on which the shot or rattle member(s) slide or roll, is sloped, sloping from a lower position nearer the front end of the body or chamber to a higher position nearer the back of the rattle body or chamber. The sloped floor counters the effects of force which tend to push and hold the shot or rattle members toward the chamber back end, the pushing effect of the force is counteracted by the rattle chamber sloped floor to allow a more free back and forth movement of the rattle members and thus improved overall rattling of the lure.
