A fish attractor that can be a transparent or translucent hollow ball, or other shape with a plurality of holes in its surface to allow water to flow in and out. A removable lid or other access allows putting bait into the device. The device, which is filled with water, acts as a tank for the bait to swim around in or otherwise be displayed. The device can then be suspended from a line or float, or otherwise inserted under the surface of the water. When a larger fish spots the device, it sees only the bait. If it attacks the device or even approaches it, the bait fish inside are protected, but become highly agitated. This can cause the larger fish to go into a feeding frenzy trying to get at the bait which in turn attracts even more fish.
