Patent ID: 7181883

Claim:
A chummer comprising: a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, and an opening for receiving bait; a motor attached to the housing, the motor having a shaft axially extending through the housing; a first cutting blade attached to the shaft; an impeller blade attached to the shaft and located between the inlet port and the outlet port and below the first cutting blade, wherein rotation of the shaft causes rotation of the impeller blade which causes water to be drawn into the housing through the inlet port and discharged through the outlet port whenever the outlet port is positioned below the water line; and wherein the housing is placed into the water so that the inlet port and the outlet port are beneath the water line, the bait is placed into the opening, and the motor is activated and rotates the shaft such that bait falls through the housing and is cut up by the first cutting blade and the impeller blade draws water through the inlet port into the housing wherein the water is mixed with the cut up bait and the mixed water and cut up bait are expelled through the outlet port.
