Abstract: An improved rattle for attracting fish includes a hollow cylindrical chamber that is sealingly closed by ultra thin end caps. An annular, ring like member is positioned within the closed chamber so as to rest on its edge on the inner diameter of the closed chamber. The chamber diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the annular member thereby allowing the annular member to pivot on its edge when the rattle is rocked back and forth along its axial axis. The length of the chamber is relatively short. The pivoting causes the annular member to strike the sides of the closed chamber thereby producing a type of clicking sound that is known to attract fish. The combination of the ultra thin end caps and short chamber provides for improved loudness and sensitivity to slight motions of the rattle.

Abstract: A rattle for attracting fish, in one embodiment, includes a hollow cylindrical chamber that is sealingly closed by end caps. An annular, ring like member is positioned within the closed chamber so as to rest on its edge on the inner diameter of the closed chamber. The chamber diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the annular member thereby allowing the annular member to pivot on its edge when the rattle is rocked back and forth along its axial axis.
