Abstract
A scent releasing fishing apparatus such as a downrigger weight. The apparatus includes a body having a cavity formed therein providing a reservoir to hold an amount of scented attractant in liquid form. A nozzle may be removably coupled with the body and in communication with the cavity for releasing the liquid material contained therein. A wicking member may be partially disposed in the cavity and extend through the nozzle orifice such that it is partially externally located relative to the body of the apparatus. The wicking member is formed of an absorbent material and assists in delivering the liquid material through the nozzle through a wicking or capillary action. The apparatus may be formed of a dense material such as lead for easy submersion in a body of water.
