Abstract

A multi-filament lure dressing having an elastomer core piece which attaches to a fishing lure and supports one or more rattle chambers. A longitudinal bore extends through the core and bored appendages and/or additional filaments radially project from the core. Plastic rattles having flanged heads mount to the appendage bores. One or more multi-filamented silicone rubber skirts, which can include transverse projections, are wrapped and adhesively bonded to the core to obscure supported rattles. During construction, the primary bore of the core is fitted to a mandrel and a peripheral band of a skirt having spaced apertures, which is pre-coated with an adhesive, is wrapped about the core and supported to a pin retainer fitted to the mandrel. An elastomer band clamp contains the wrapped skirt through adhesive curing. Once set, the wrapped skirt is cut from the mandrel and trimmed to prepare the skirt for mounting to a lure.
