Abstract:
1. A blood-simulating fishing lure, comprising: an ornamental body configured and arranged to attract a fish; at least one fishhook extending from the ornamental body; means for attaching the ornamental body and the fishhook to a fishing line whereby the fishing line attached to the ornamental body at the attaching means defines a longitudinal plumb line extending through the apparatus when the float and fishhook are statically suspended from the attached fishing line; a flexible ball chain consisting of a series of at least three linearly interconnected spherical elements, each of said spherical elements both longitudinally interconnected to at least one adjacent spherical element of said spherical elements by a connecting element which extends between adjacent spherical elements and transversely deflectable relative to adjacent spherical elements, whereby the chain is effective for simulating a flow of blood droplets, the ball chain emanating from the ornamental body in a lateral direction relative to the plumb line; and means for attaching the ball chain to the ornamental body so that an equal number of balls are on either side of the ornamental body.
