Abstract
A glitter fishing lure formed from a liquid plastisol in which a vinyl resin has been dispersed in primary and secondary plasticizers. The primary plasticizer is an adipate or phthalate ester, the secondary plasticizer is a hydrocarbon, and the weight ratio of the primary to secondary plasticizer is preferably at least about 1.5, and more preferably about 5.25. The plastisol is heated to at least about its fusion temperature, and shaped in a mold to form a lure body. Once the lure body has cooled and hardened, it has a tacky outer surface. The lure body is agitated in the presence of thermoplastic first glitter flakes under dry conditions, so that the first glitter flakes adhere to the tacky outer surface of the lure body.

- heating a liquid plastisol, which has been formed by dispersing a vinyl resin in a plasticizer, to at least about its fusion temperature;
- shaping the heated plastisol in a mold to form a lure body;
- allowing the lure body to cool and harden;
- and
- agitating the lure body in the presence of thermoplastic first glitter flakes under dry conditions, such that first glitter flakes adhere to the outer surface of the lure body.
