The capsule includes a sealed watertight rigid hollow tube with a plurality of free-moving beads. The capsule is positioned in such a manner that when the lure is in use, it produces a multi-directional rattling sound that mimics the sound of invertebrate prey moving around on rocks. This sound is very attractive to fish, particularly striped bass. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fishing lure comprising: a body having an outer envelope; and a capsule having an inboard axial extremity proximate to the body of the lure and an outboard axial extremity extending beyond the envelope, wherein the capsule contains a plurality of beads. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the body is constructed of a dense material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The fishing lure of claim 2 wherein the dense material is metal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the capsule comprises a watertight hollow rigid tube. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The fishing lure of claim 4 wherein the tube is constructed of glass. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The fishing lure of claim 4 wherein the inside diameter of the tube is approximately between 9.5 and approximately 25.4 millimeters. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the beads are constructed of a solid material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The fishing lure of claim 7 wherein the solid material is metal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The fishing lure of claim 7 wherein the number of beads are approximately two to seven. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The fishing lure of claim 7 wherein the diameter of each individual bead is approximately between 1.6 and approximately 12.7 millimeters. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the ratio between the inside diameter of the capsule and the diameter of each bead is approximately two to one. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the outer envelope contains a protective coating. ### Claim 13 A fishing lure comprising: a body having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the body comprises at least one capsule containing a plurality of beads; and a continuous wire extending through the body from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the wire contains a loop at each end. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The fishing lure of claim 13 wherein the body is constructed of a dense material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The fishing lure of claim 14 wherein the dense material is metal. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The fishing lure of claim 13, wherein the body comprises a first capsule and a second capsule, and wherein the first capsule is a 0.75 inch long watertight hollow rigid tube located at the proximal end of the body and the second capsule is a 0.375 inch long watertight hollow rigid tube located at the distal end of the body. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The fishing lure of claim 16 wherein the second capsule is axially positioned and the first capsule has a longitudinal axis positioned approximately 30° to 60° away from the first axial positioned capsule. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The fishing lure of claim 16 wherein the inside diameter of the tubes is between approximately 9.5 and approximately 25.4 millimeters. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The fishing lure of claim 13 wherein the diameter of each individual bead is approximately between 1.6 and approximately 12.7 millimeters. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The fishing lure of claim 13 wherein the body contains an outer envelope comprising a protective coating. ### Claim 21 A bucktail fishing lure comprising: a body having an upper end substantially opposed to a lower end and a proximal end substantially opposed to a distal end, wherein the distal end contains a first hook, the upper end contains a first loop fastener and the bottom end contains a second loop fastener having a second hook, and wherein the body comprises at least one capsule containing a plurality of beads. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The fishing lure of claim 21 wherein the body has an axially positioned capsule. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The fishing lure of claim 21 wherein the capsule is a watertight hollow rigid tube between approximately 0.375 inches and approximately 0.75 inches long. ### Claim 24 (depends on 23) The fishing lure of claim 23 wherein the inside diameter of the tube is between approximately 9.5 and approximately 25.4 millimeters. ### Claim 25 (depends on 21) The lure of claim 21, wherein the diameter of each individual bead is approximately between 1.6 and approximately 12.7 millimeters.
