Patent ID: 8733013

Claim:
A worm type aquatic fishing lure for use with a fishing rod, a line and a hook, wherein the worm type aquatic fishing lure can be attached via the line to the fishing rod and used in casting, the worm type aquatic fishing lure comprising a soft, elastic material, comprising: (i) a body having a body outer surface, a body longitudinal axis and a body diameter; (ii) a first end having a first end diameter formed on one end of the body; (iii) a second end having a second end diameter formed on the body opposite the first end; (iv) a plurality of rods each having a rod length, extending outwardly from the body outer surface, wherein each rod of said plurality of rods has a rod length 10 percent to 100 percent the body diameter, and further wherein the body supports a rod density of 10 rods to 70 rods per inch along the body longitudinal axis; (v) a plurality of air trapping and releasing cavities formed in the body along the body longitudinal axis, the plurality of air trapping and releasing cavities both extending from the body outer surface and terminating within the body and not extending within any of the rods; (vi) wherein the air trapping and releasing cavities are formed with a density of 1 air trapping and releasing cavity per inch to 10 air trapping and releasing cavities per inch along the body; (vii) wherein the air trapping and releasing cavities trap air while the elasticity of the soft elastic material partially close or open the air trapping and releasing cavities, thereby containing air and releasing air; and (viii) upon casting the worm type aquatic fishing lure into water, the rods vibrate creating simulated movement while simultaneously air bubbles of air are non-sequentially released from the air trapping and releasing cavities as the worm type aquatic fishing lure sinks or is drawn through the water, creating a visual attraction in the water simultaneously with creating a life-like appearance and life-like vibrations.
