  • Patent number: 6671995
    Abstract: An improved fishing lure has a hollow body containing an illumination source and an electrical power source. An arm passes through a small hole in the fishing lure body. A flexible seal holds the arm in place, prevents water from entering the lure, and acts as a pivot. The interior portion of the arm contains an electrical contact. Water movement deflects the exterior portion of the arm, which pivots around the seal, closes the connection to the power source, and causes the illumination source to produce light.
