  • Patent number: 4791750
    Abstract: A fishing lure which is characterized by a molded lure body such as a lead jig head and a non-magnetic metal cylinder or capsule provided with at least one non-magnetic ball therein, the capsule inserted in a cavity provided in the jig head, in order to produce a sound of desired intensity and resonance and attract fish when the fishing lure is retrieved. In a preferred embodiment the jig head is fitted with a flexible tail and is molded with an internal cavity of appropriate size for receiving an aluminum or stainless steel capsule which is constructed with an open end for inserting a selected number of spherical brass, bronze or stainless steel balls and a plug or cap for sealing the open end of the capsule when the capsule is inserted in the cavity. The number of spherical balls utilized in the aluminum or stainless steel capsule depends upon the size of the capsule, which size is, in turn, determined by the size of the jig head in which the capsule is inserted.
