The dodger has a starboard side edge, a port side edge, a blunt leading edge, a rounded trailing edge, and a longitudinal centerline. A concave portion is located adjacent the trailing edge. A plurality of leading attachment openings are located adjacent the leading edge on the starboard side and port side of said longitudinal centerline, the leading attachment openings adapted to be attached to the outer end of a fishing line. A trailing attachment opening is located adjacent the trailing edge and is adapted to be attached to the outer end of a trailing leader line attached to a lure or bated hook. A mechanism to generate periodic noise during trolling is located adjacent the trailing edge.
