Abstract

A fishing lure designed with an internal cavity filled with a scented material and an odor release hole. The fishing lure mimics a fish, with a tail and head that move in a swimming motion. As the fishing lure moves through the water, the scent is gradually released, creating a continuous odor trail that attracts fish.

Claims (75)

1 . A fishing lure comprising:

a top surface;

a plurality of lateral sides;

a packing hole; and

an at least one odor release hole;

wherein:

the top surface is the top-most outwardly surface of the fishing lure;

the packing hole traverses at least a portion of the fishing lure from the top surface; and

the at least one odor release hole traverses at least one of the lateral sides into the packing hole.

2 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 1 wherein the packing hole further comprises an odorous material.

3 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 2 wherein the fishing lure resembles a fish comprising:

a head;

a trunk; and

a tail;

wherein:

the head composes the front-most portion of the fishing lure;

the tail composes the rear-most portion of the fishing lure; and

the trunk is interposed between the head and the tail.

4 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the trunk comprises a plurality of eyelets wherein:

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to a rear-most portion of the head;

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to the front-most portion of the tail; and

the at least one eyelet of the head and the at least one eyelet of the tail are interlocked together, thus composing the trunk.

5 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the packing hole further comprises a plug, wherein said plug is inserted into the packing hole, thereby preventing the odorous material from expelling through the packing hole.

6 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the packing hole further comprises a band wherein said band is configured around the fishing lure, covering the packing hole, thereby preventing the odorous material from expelling through the packing hole.

7 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a pin traverses the lateral sides of the fishing lure through the scent release holes and piercing the odorous material, thereby preventing the odorous material from expelling through the packing hole.

8 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bottom surface an a front most portion of the head, each comprise an eyelet.

9 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the eyelet of the bottom surface comprises a hook.

10 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein particulate matter of the odorous material is released through the at least one odor release hole.

11 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a bottom surface;

the bottom surface being opposite the top surface; and

the packing hole traversing from the top surface through the bottom surface.

12 . A fishing lure comprising:

a top surface;

a plurality of lateral sides; and

an at least one odor release hole;

wherein:

the fishing lure resembles a fish comprising a head, a trunk, and a tail;

the head composes the front-most portion of the fishing lure;

the tail composes the rear-most portion of the fishing lure;

the trunk is interposed between the head and the tail;

the top surface is the top-most outwardly surface of the fishing lure;

the at least one odor release hole traverses at least one of the lateral sides.

13 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the trunk comprises a plurality of eyelets wherein:

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to a rear-most portion of the head;

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to the front-most portion of the tail; and

the at least one eyelet of the head and the at least one eyelet of the tail are interlocked together, thus composing the trunk.

14 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising a packing hole;

wherein the packing hole traverses into a portion of the fishing lure from the top surface.

15 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the packing hole comprises an odorous material; wherein particulate matter from the odorous material is expelled through the at least one odor release hole.

16 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 15 wherein the odorous material is prevented from expelling through the packing hole by a fastener selected from the following consisting of: a plug; a band; and a pin.

17 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 16 , further comprising:

a plurality of eyelets; and

an at least one hook;

wherein:

at least one eyelet of the plurality of eyelets is attached to a bottom surface of the fishing lure;

the bottom surface of the fishing lure being opposite the top surface;

the at least one hook coupling to the at least one eyelet on the bottom surface.

18 . A fishing lure comprising:

an at least one odor release hole; and

a packing hole;

wherein:

the fishing lure resembles a fish comprising a head, a trunk, and a tail;

the head composes the front-most portion of the fishing lure;

the tail composes the rear-most portion of the fishing lure;

the trunk is interposed between the head and the tail;

the trunk comprises a plurality of eyelets wherein:

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to a rear-most portion of the head;

at least one of the plurality of eyelets are coupled to the front-most portion of the tail; and

the at least one eyelet of the head and the at least one eyelet of the tail are interlocked together, thus composing the trunk;

the at least one odor release hole traverses at least one of the lateral sides into the packing hole.

19 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 18 wherein:

the packing hole further comprising an odorous material;

the odorous material is prevented from expelling through the packing hole by a fastener selected from the following consisting of: a plug; a band; and a pin.

20 . The fishing lure, as claimed in claim 18 , wherein particulate matter of the odorous material is expelled from the packing hole through the at least one odor release hole.
