Abstract A hollow shell of bullet shaped external contour has an integral cylindrical tube extending therethrough. The torus shaped interior of the shell has plural small spherical shot loosely disposed therein to rattle when shaken. The shell can be mounted alternatively around a wire of a safety pin type of lure and hook assembly; or around a leader above a hook. It may also be mounted around a rubber band stretched between the eye of a lure assembly and the barb of the hook on the assembly. A small plate has one hole for connection to the rubber band and another hole for engagement with the hook barb in the latter instance. A modification places nut-like hexagonal slugs in a cavity in a plastic housing with an axial hole through the housing to pass a line or lure wire through the housing and slugs.
