  • Patent number: 4693030
    Abstract: A sinker for fishing lure rides upwardly in the water at a selected depth carrying the lure over snagging obstructions and emitting a luminescent glow to attract the fish. The device has a light weight transparent elongated tubular body with a sealed buoyant chamber receiving luminescent material. The bottom end of the tube is selectively weighted to sink the tube to a desired depth and bendable wire legs radiate from the bottom causing the tube to hop or skip over obstructions. The fishing lure line is attached to the top of the tube above the buoyant chamber.
