Patent ID: 7836627

Claim:
Fishing lure apparatus comprising: a weighted head; a body portion fixable to the head; and a foam annulus disposed between said body portion and the head, said foam annulus having a diameter greater than a maximum diameter of the head and transversely expandable upon water impregnated therein, directed by the head, upon movement through a body of water, expansion of the annulus being dependent upon velocity of the head through the water body, said foam annulus being formed from a material capable of absorbing and temporarily retaining fish attractant, said fish attractant being displaceable by water in order to simultaneously disperse the fish attractant as the head is drawn through the water body, said foam annulus including a cupped portion in which a base portion of the head resides, said foam annulus extending over the head for capture of water passing over the head as the head is drawn through the water body, the capture of water transversely expanding said foam annulus.
