Abstract
An elongated, hollow artificial lure is filled with live worms by placing the worms in the chamber of a syringe, applying pressure to the chamber and injecting the worms through a small diameter nozzle into the interior of the lure. The resulting lure has not only the scent of the natural bait but also motion imparted by the motion of the live worms injected therein.
Claims1
A method of making a lure which is attractive to fish comprising the steps of
- forming a hollow lure body of a flexible, substantially water-insoluble material so that the lure body generally resembles natural living fish food in size and shape, the lure body having an opening therein;
- providing a pressurizable injection device of the type having a chamber, a small outlet tube extending out of the chamber and means for putting the chamber contents under pressure to force the chamber contents through and out of a distal end of the outlet tube;
- inserting a plurality of live earthworms into the chamber;
- inserting the distal end of the outlet tube into the opening in the flexible lure body;
- applying pressure to the chamber to force the earthworms out of the chamber, through the outlet tube and into the lure body while the earthworms are still alive, thereby forming a lure which has scent and motion characteristics of a live worm.
