Claim:
A modular variable light and buoyancy fishing lure system with interchangeable light emitting components comprised of: at least one clear housing having a layer of applied color and a plurality of substantially transparent striations to emit light, wherein said housing has at least one convex upper curve and at least one combined convex and concave lower curve; an internal cavity formed by said at least one clear housing, said internal cavity adapted to encase one of a plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements; at least one angled aperture in said at least one clear housing for inserting one of said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements into said internal cavity, wherein said at least one angled aperture is angled obliquely to a longitudinal axis of said at least one clear housing; at least one deformable plug, said at least one deformable plug having dimensions larger than those of said at least one angled aperture when undeformed, wherein a first portion of said at least one deformable plug is shaped to match a shape and an oblique angle of said at least one angled aperture, wherein a second portion of said at least one deformable plug is shaped to match said convex upper curve of said housing, wherein said at least one deformable plug is a single, unitary piece; and said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements, wherein one of said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements is inserted into said internal cavity via said at least one angled aperture, each of said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements emits light having a wavelength ranging from 380 nm to 780 nm; wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements has dimensions which are less than the dimensions of said internal cavity allowing each of said plurality of interchangeable submergible lighted elements to rotate inside said internal cavity.
