The lure 10 encompasses a hollow cavity 32 having a plurality of scent releasing apertures 26 producing a powerful scent trail that attracts game fish 12. The cavity 32 may be filled with bait 36 or scent pad 34. By adjusting the leader 16 position to one of a plurality of leader apertures 14 the lure 10 is designed to spin at various rates of speed. The present invention 10 also provides for an additional element in the form of posts 48 depending from the base of the lure to prevent hook 18, 22 from getting out of alignment.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Inventor: Tom Kallas

Patent number: 7146764Abstract: Apparatus 10 discloses a fishing lure having a cage 16 that water 12 can move through with movable elements 20 therein which are free to move laterally and transversely within the case. When placed in a medium such as water 12, the beads 20 banging into each other and the cage 16 generate sound waves 22 that radiate from the lure, attracting game fish 14. The cage 16 can vary in shape, such as cylindrical or polygonal but preferably cylindrical. In addition, varying the materials used for the beads 20, such as glass and metal would cause the beads to vary an activity.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Inventor: Gary Naumovitz

Patent number: 7131233Abstract: A fishing lure includes a body provided with head and tail portions, apertures spaced along a longitudinal axis thereof, and an opening formed in a top surface thereof that is in fluid communication with the apertures. The opening houses scented agents therein so that same can be discharged when the lure travels through water. The opening has vertical and horizontal regions for maintaining the scented agents and further has a closed distal end restricting the agents from prematurely exiting the body. Eyelets are conjoined to the body and extend outwardly therefrom. One eyelet is disposed subjacent to the head and another eyelet is disposed subjacent to the tail. A third eyelet is disposed adjacent to the head and extends orthogonally therefrom. One treble hook is conjoined to the first eyelet and another treble hook is conjoined to the second eyelet. The treble hooks pivot about the eyelets respectively.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2005Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Inventor: Brian P. Preston

Patent number: 7114280Abstract: A fishing lure having a durable plastic outer shell with lead weights within and that has two hollow tubular chambers. The main chamber is translucent and holds a chemiluminescent chemical stick that illuminates the chamber. The second, bottom chamber in the tail holds fish attractant oil and a sponge-like material that retains the oil. A hole at the top of the chamber allows water to enter into the chamber. The water mixes with the oil and is then dispensed from a second hole at the bottom of the chamber. The tail portion further includes tail fins that are curved causing the lure to spin when retrieved and can be connected with the top cap of the lure to form a separate scent releasing lure without the chemiluminescent chamber being used.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Inventor: Randal Scott Turner
