Claims14
A fishing lure comprising:
- a lure head with front and rear ends, the lure head comprising:
- two half cylinder lure bodies adhered to each other on respective flat surfaces thereof and combined together as one piece;
- a brass leader tube extending through the lure head, the brass leader tube positioned centrally within the lure head and protruding ¼ inch forward of the front end of the lure head;
- a ball rattler located within the lure head in close proximity to the brass leader tube, the ball rattler containing one noise-making ball or a plurality of noise-making balls and capable of producing low-frequency sounds;
- a keel weight located with the lure head so as to be subordinate to said leader tube and slightly toward the rearward end of the lure head, the keel weight for decreasing pitching and rolling of the lure to more closely mimic natural prey movement;
- a lure skirt;
- a lure collar located on the rearward end of the lure head for attachment of the lure skirt;
- a composite of design resin from which the lure head is made, the lure head encapsulating the two half cylinder lure bodies, the brass leader tube, the ball rattler, and the keel weight, the lure head shape can be formed be casting into one of a barrel, oval, rectangular, or bullet shape;
- an aerator cap positioned adjacent the front end of the lure head, wherein the aerator cap contains vented slots in a circular pattern within the aerator cap adapted to allow water to pass and produce bubbles;
- a conically-shaped, noise sensitive brass weight that is positioned adjacent the forward end of the lure head such that the aerator cap is positioned between the conically-shaped brass weight and the lure head, the brass weight making contact with the brass leader tube during use so as to produce high-frequency sounds within the leader tube and vibrations effecting low-frequency sound via agitation of the ball rattler;
- and
- a leader line running centrally through the brass leader tube, the aerator cap, and the conically-shaped brass weight.

A fishing lure comprising:
- a lure head with front and rear ends, the lure head comprising:
- two half cylinder lure bodies adhered to each other on respective flat surfaces thereof and combined together as one piece;
- a foil wrap surrounding the two half cylinder lure bodies;
- a circular chrome foil inlay extending perpendicular to the lure head and placed on a front face of the one piece;
- at least one movable eye attached to the lure head;
- a brass leader tube extending through the lure head, the brass leader tube positioned centrally within the lure head and protruding ¼ inch forward of the front end of the lure head;
- a ball rattler located within the lure head in close proximity to the brass leader tube, the ball rattler containing one noise-making ball or a plurality of noise-making balls and capable of producing low-frequency sounds;
- a keel weight located with the lure head so as to be subordinate to said leader tube and slightly toward the rearward end of the lure head, the keel weight for decreasing pitching and rolling of the lure to more closely mimic natural prey movement;
- a lure skirt;
- a lure collar located on the rearward end of the lure head for attachment of the lure skirt;
- a composite of design resin from which the lure head is made, the lure head encapsulating the two half cylinder lure bodies, the foil wrap, the foil inlay, the at least one movable eye, the brass leader tube, the ball rattler, and the keel weight;
- an aerator cap positioned adjacent the front end of the lure head, wherein the aerator cap contains vented slots in a circular pattern within the aerator cap adapted to allow water to pass and produce bubbles;
- a conically-shaped, noise sensitive brass weight that is positioned adjacent the forward end of the lure head such that the aerator cap is positioned between the conically-shaped brass weight and the lure head, the brass weight making contact with the brass leader tube during use so as to produce high-frequency sounds within the leader tube and vibrations effecting low-frequency sound via agitation of the ball rattler;
- and
- a leader line running centrally through the brass leader tube, the aerator cap, and the conically-shaped brass weight, wherein the aerator cap is attached to the leader line such that a position of the aerator cap is adjustable along the leader line with respect to the lure head so as to create a wider or narrower bubble pattern so as to allow for less obscuring of the lure head and skirt.
