Abstract

A fish attractor made of transparent plastic has a triangular body having an aperture at the apex and one centrally located in the base, a substantially larger circular opening positioned centrally in the plane of transparent plastic, layers of holographic tape adhered to the sides of the attractor, the layers having circular openings therein corresponding in size to the opening in the transparent plastic, and a circular piece of plastic film larger in diameter than the circular openings in the layers of holographic tape and adhered to one of the layers of holographic tape such that the piece of plastic film is sandwiched between the plane of transparent plastic and the one layer of holographic tape, the piece of plastic film being stretched to provide a dome that vibrates and produces noise as the attractor moves through water.
