The chamber provides for containment of fish attractant in the form of a liquid that can be dispensed therefrom only by abrupt movement of the device in response to fisherman directed movement of a line attached to the device.
Claims19
In a device for dispensing a liquid fish attractant by a jigging motion having a hollow body, means for containment of said fish attractant therein, and means for dispensing said fish attractant from within the dispensing device, the improvement comprising:
- A. said hollow body having an opening and a forming a water-impervious chamber for containment of said attractant within said chamber, and an orifice in a wall of said hollow body to allow for discharge of said attractant from said chamber upon abrupt movement thereof during use, and
- B. means for releasable sealing and unsealing of said opening from within said hollow body to permit replenishment of said hollow body with additional liquid attractant
- C. wherein said attractant is released by said jigging motion and said means for releasable sealing and unsealing of said opening is sealed during operation of said device.
In a device for dispensing a liquid fish attractant in a body of water, said device having a hollow body, means for containment of said fish attractant therein, and means for dispensing said fish attractant from within the dispensing device, the improvement comprising:
- A. said hollow body having an opening and forming a chamber for containment of said attractant and an air pocket within said chamber, and an orifice in a wall of said hollow body to allow for discharge of said attractant from said chamber upon abrupt movement thereof during use whereby said orifice comprises a diameter sufficiently small to retain said attractant within said chamber until said abrupt movement, and sufficiently small to enable said air pocket to prevent said water from entering said chamber, and
- B. means for releasable sealing and unsealing of said opening to permit replenishment of said hollow body with additional liquid attractant.
In a device for dispensing a liquid fish attractant having a hollow body, means for containment of said fish attractant therein, and means for dispensing said fish attractant from within the dispensing device, the improvement comprising:
- A. said hollow body having an opening and a forming a chamber for containment of said attractant within said chamber, an orifice in a wall of said hollow body to allow for discharge of said attractant from said chamber upon abrupt movement thereof during use, and a valve means for preventing inadvertent discharge of said attractant from said chamber prior to or subsequent to use, and
- B. means for releasable sealing and unsealing of said opening from within said hollow body to permit replenishment of said hollow body with additional liquid attractant.
A method for dispensing a liquid fish attractant from a hollow device, the steps comprising;
- attaching said device to a fishing line,
- filling said device at the fill hole with said attractant and sealing said file hole,
- casting said device with said fishing line into a body of water,
- releasing said attractant into the water by jigging said device, and
- preventing the unwanted release of said attractant by not jigging, or abruptly moving, said device.
