ABSTRACT:
A noise-making rattle jig for use in fishing having a solid metallic body of generally circular cross-section with a forwardly extending body extension of lesser diameter having a fish hook secured to the forwardmost end, and an eyelet for attaching the jig to a fish line at the opposite end of the body. A rattle chamber is provided within the body with at least one noise-making rattle element held loosely within the chamber. A fiber weed guard is secured to the body and extends radially outwardly spaced rearwardly from the barb of the fish hook. The body extension is provided with at least one annular channel to which a rubber camouflage skirt or other accessory may be attached to the jig. Because of environmental concerns the body, body extension and cap are preferably formed from lead-free brass. All other elements are desirably composed of non-leaching non-toxic materials.
