A noise making fishing lure including a two piece plastic shell assembly having two chambers therein. Each chamber contains a plurality of metal spheres which move as the lure is pulled through the water. The lure has an internal sleeve therein for receipt of a fishing line. The lure of the invention can be connected and used in conjunction with conventional fishing lures and enhance the fish luring capability of an existing fishing lure by the addition of a noise production element. The rattling fish lure of the present invention may be inserted into other artificial lures such as plastic worms, by cutting the worm to provide access for the rattling lure. The two piece shell assembly is made of plastic and can be manufactured in any desired color to be incorporated into or used with almost any type of fishing lure or rigging.

1. A rattling fishing lure comprising:
a. a partially hollow cap member having a generally hemispherical exterior, b. a plurality of metal spheres, c. a partially hollow base member having a generally hemispherical exterior, said base member having chamber means therein for containing said metal spheres for making sound waves in water attractive to fish, said chamber means having wall means therein which divides said chamber means into two equal parts, said base member and said cap member being force fitted together to form a partially hollow sphere which contains said metal spheres therein for producing sound waves in water attractive to fish, said base member having sleeve means therein for receipt of a fishing line.
10. A rattling fishing lure comprising:
a partially hollow cap member having a generally hemispherical exterior, a cylindrical cavity means in the lower portion thereof, and a cylindrical chamber means in the upper portion thereof, b. a partially hollow base member having a generally hemispherical exterior, said base member having chamber means therein containing metal spheres for making sound waves in water, said chamber means having wall means which divides said chamber means into two equal parts, said wall means having shoulder means thereon for preventing said small metal spheres from traveling between said equal parts of said chamber, said base member and said cap member being force fitted together to form a partially hollow, watertight sphere which contains said small metal spheres therein for producing sound waves attractive to fish, said base member having sleeve means therein for receipt of a fishing line.
