The broken line showing of a fishing line, fishing hook, and underwater environment are included for the purpose of showing environmental context and forms no part of the claimed design.

While the front and back of the fishing attractant device are called out for relative figure viewpoints, it should be appreciated that the helical shaped device has no literal front, back, or side. Additionally, the coils of the attractant may be compressible and expandable due to the use of flexible material and therefore the pitch or appearance of the relative distance between coils may appear closer or farther apart. Furthermore, the number of turns in the helix may range from 3-15.
