Claim Text:
1. A fish shaped lure for trolling comprising: a pair of bilaterally symmetrical body-half segments molded into a configuration of a bait fish for fish to be caught, each one of the body-half segments having a cross section in a shape of a segment of an ellipse, by using a flexible thermoplastic resin that is one of either transparent or translucent; and a pair of symmetrical transfer sheets, each one transfer sheet of the pair of transfer sheets having an image identical or similar to an external appearance of the bait fish, said each one transfer sheet including a hologram sheet having a hologram color-printed on a hologram forming face of the hologram sheet, said image being substantially similar to a corresponding one of the pair of the body-half segment in terms of dimension and configuration; wherein each one transfer sheet of the pair of transfer sheets is adhered to a corresponding back side of the corresponding body-half segment to provide a first portion of an integrated body of the fish shaped lure by using a colorless organic solvent or a colorless adhesive agent so that the image can be viewed perspectively as a hologram from a surface side of each of the body-half segments, while only front head sides of both the body-half segments which occupy at least half a fish shape are adhered face to face to provide a second portion of the integrated body by the fusion action of a plasticizer of each of a pair of flat back side joint surfaces that continuously border along a back surface of the bait fish configuration and a pair of flat ventral side joint surfaces that continuously border along a ventral surface of the bait fish configuration, or by using the colorless organic solvent or the colorless adhesive agent and assembled into a hollow lure body having a substantially oval cross section, a rear end side of each one of the body-half segments occupies at most half of a remaining fish shape and is not adhered but kept open, so that said rear end side can swing freely in the left-right direction, and a line having a leading end to which a hook is attached, the hook being latched to the rear end side of the ventral side joint surfaces of the lure body from the rear tail side, so that only the sharp front end of the hook partially extends out of the lure body, the line extending from within the lure body from the leading end out of the lure body through a mouth part of a front head side.
