Animated fishing jig apparatus and system

An auxiliary jacket configured to tailor an animated fishing jig apparatus comprising:

• a jig body characterized by an exterior surface configured to carry a light-passing portion and an interior chamber configured to carry an animator system assembly comprising:
• at least one light source positioned proximate a respective interior side of the light-passing portion;
• a micro vibration motor;
• a battery configured in electrical communication with at least one of the at least one light source and the micro vibration motor;
• an automatic switch configured,
• upon detection of a submerged condition, to power On the electrical communication, and
• upon detection of a non-submerged condition, to power Off the electrical communication;
• a head eye mechanically connected to a forward portion of the jig body;
• and
• a tail eye mechanically connected to an aft portion of the jig body;
• the auxiliary jacket comprising:
• a sheath portion configured to fittedly receive a majority portion of the exterior surface of the jig body.

A method of manufacturing an animated fishing jig apparatus to operate with an animator system assembly comprising:

• at least one light source,
• a micro vibration motor,
• a battery configured in electrical communication with at least one of the at least one light source and the micro vibration motor, and
• an automatic switch configured:
• upon detection of a submerged condition, to power On the electrical communication, and
• upon detection of a non-submerged condition, to power Off the electrical communication;
• the method comprising the steps of:
• molding a jig body characterized by an interior chamber and an exterior surface characterized by a light-passing portion;
• mechanically connecting a head eye to a bow post positioned proximate a forward portion of the jig body;
• mechanically connecting a tail eye to a stern post positioned proximate an aft portion of the jig body;
• and
• fittedly receiving the animator system assembly within the interior chamber of the jig body, wherein the at least one light source is positioned proximate a respective interior side of the light passing portion.
