Light reflecting fish exciter and attractant comprised of mica flakes

Abstract

A light reflecting fish attractant comprised of mica flakes is provided. The mica flakes are cast into the water where they slowly sink to the bottom. During their descent, they cascade wildly with the eddies and currents of the water. The light which filters down into the water is reflected off the mica, causing a glittering or flashing. This reflected light attracts fish into the area. The mica flakes are chosen to be sized in the range of 0.001 inch to about 3.0 inch in length, in the range of 0.001 inch to about 3 inch in width and about any size larger than 0.001 inch in thickness. This size range permits the mica flakes to approximate the common sizes of fish scales. The mica flakes giving the appearance of fish scales attracts predator fish to the area where the mica flakes are introduced. After introducing the mica flakes to the water, the sportsman would introduce the fishing line to the area where the flakes have been placed. The odds of a strike on the fishing lure is increased due to the greater number of fish being in the area and having their predatory sense excited. It is also proposed that mica flakes may be mixed directly with a chum composition and introduced into the water. A chum composition includes well known fish attractants including proteins, vegetable oils and extracts, and meat oils, blood and meat extracts.
