Fish attractor

Fish attractor of the type of a light-reflective plate-like member having two side edges, a front end edge, a rear end edge and rounded joinder edges between each of said end edges and the respective side edges, said side edges being slightly divergent in the direction from said front end edge towards said rear end edge, said member having a generally planar, central portion whose sides are defined by a substantial portion of the length of each of said side edges, and whose ends are defined by a front bend and by a rear bend, said bends extending laterally of said member and defining joinders between said central portion and generally planar front and rear end portions, respectively, the end portions being inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to said central portion in mutually opposite directions with respect to a plane coincident with the surface of said central portion, and an attachment hole adjacent the front end edge and adjacent the rear end edge for securing said attractor to swivel means of a line;

• said plate-like member being composed from a first panel and a second panel, each of said panels being made of a transparent plastics material and having a central portion and two end portions generally corresponding to said central and end portions of the plate-like member;
• each of said panels comprising arresting means for preventing said panels, when assembled, from displacement relative to each other in at least the directions generally longitudinally and laterally of said plate;
• said first panel being provided in one surface thereof with a shallow, elongated cavity defined by a peripheral wall extending along and adjacent to the outside edges of said first panel, said outside edges of said first panel forming said side and end edges of the plate-like member, whereby a ridge is provided along each side and end edge of said first panel;
• said second panel having a peripheral edge arranged to closely fit within said cavity whereby said second panel produces a flush continuation of said one surface of the first panel, whereby the peripheral edges of said second panel are located against the respective portions of the peripheral wall of said cavity to form said arresting means, the peripheral edge of said second panel being in a generally abutted relationship with the associated portion of the peripheral wall of said cavity;
• means for joining the edges of said second panel with said peripheral wall of the cavity in a watertight fashion to produce a joinder seam between said panels, said joinder seam being generally coincident with only one face of said plate member;
• and a light reflecting sheet means providing a substantial portion of said plate-like member with light reflecting property, said light reflecting sheet means being located within said cavity and being sandwiched between said panels.
