An underwater fishing lure reciprocating device for downrigger trolling apparatus comprises a mounting member that is attached to the end of the downrigger cable and a reciprocating member movably mounted on the mounting member. The reciprocating member includes a clip for holding the fishing line which reciprocates with movement of the reciprocating member with respect to the mounting member. An underwater drive means causes the reciprocating member to reciprocate at least when the device is being towed behind a boat. Desirably, the reciprocating member and drive means are a waterwheel having baffles that are formed and attached such that the wheel rotates when it is towed behind a boat. The clip is attached to a trailing arm that is eccentrically mounted on the wheel. A stabilizing fin holds the waterwheel in a vertical position with its axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the wheel. A separate clip on the stabilizing fin for the fishing line prevents the reciprocating movement from being transmitted to the fisherman as a reciprocating tug on the fishing line. The baffles can be pivotable baffle plates attached by clips to openings in the outer periphery of the wheel. Other types of baffles also can be employed.
