Abstract
A fishing lure clapper device may include a fishing lure such as a spoon lure or spinner lure. A strike member may be loosely attached to the fishing lure. The strike member may have at least one water flow contact surface. The water flow contact surface may be at least partially concave and/or at least partially convex. Accordingly, throughout retrieval of the lure on a fishing line through water in a water body, flow of the water against the water flow contact surface of the strike member may cause the strike member to move at random orientations and repetitively strike or clap against the side of the fishing lure, creating vibration and clicking or clapping sounds in the water to attract fish and agitate or entice the fish to strike the lure.
