Abstract:
A fishing tackle component has a portion useable to receive a noise making mechanism, which can be a depression. The noise making mechanism is a rattle mechanism, including a capsule containing at least two rattle elements. The rattle elements may have a minimum curvature that is greater than a maximum curvature of the capsule, allowing the rattle elements to move freely inside the capsule. Consequently, the capsule does not have acute angles or areas of extreme curvature in which the rattle elements can lodge disabling the noise. The rattle mechanism is mounted to the receiving portion, such as in the depression. As the lure is moved through the water, the rattle mechanism at least sporadically produces a noise regardless of the speed or trajectory of the tackle component in the water.
