Abstract
A fishing lure for largemouth bass and other fishes within the family Centrarchidae is described. The lure comprises a body member having incorporated therein a sufficient quantity of an agent in a manner such that the lure will emit effective concentrations of the agent when said lure is within the mouth of the fish. The agent comprises, L-arginine and L-lysine individually, any combinations or mixtures of L-arginine and L-lysine, any mixtures or combinations containing L-arginine and/or L-lysine, and any compounds and/or mixtures of compounds which, in combination with water, will release L-arginine and/or L-lysine.
Claims19
A fishing lure for largemouth bass and other fishes within the family Centrarchidae comprising:
- a body member;
- and
- an agent incorporated in said body member, said agent comprising an amino acid selected from the group consisting of L-lysine, L-arginine, and mixtures of L-lysine and L-arginine wherein said agent is present in sufficient amount to create a concentration of said agent of at least about 0.1 millimolar within the interior of the oropharyngeal cavity of said largemouth bass or other member of said family Centrarchidae and in sufficient amount to elicit the involuntary biting reflex of said largemouth bass or other member of said family Centrarchidae.
A fishing lure for largemouth bass and other fishes within the family Centrarchidae comprising:
- a body member;
- and
- an agent incorporated in said body member, said agent consisting essentially of an amino acid selected from the group consisting or L-lysine, L-arginine, and mixtures of L-lysine and L-arginine.
A fishing lure for largemouth bass and other fishes within the family Centrarchidae comprising:
- a body member;
- and
- an agent incorporated in said body member, said agent consisting of an amino acid selected from the group consisting of L-lysine, L-arginine, and mixtures of L-lysine and L-arginine.
A fishing lure for largemouth bass and other fishes within the family Centrarchidae comprising:
- a body member;
- and
- an agent incorporated in said body member, said agent comprising:
- a compound which will release citrate ions when released in water;
- and
- an amino acid selected from the group consisting of L-lysine, L-arginine, and
- mixtures of L-lysine and L-arginine.
