Patent ID: 7998394

Claim:
A method for making a flexible fishing lure, wherein the method comprises: a. providing a polymer comprising polypropylene, polyethylene, urethane, elastomer, or combinations thereof, to a mold representing a fishing lure, wherein the mold representing the fishing lure comprises a dowel centrally located therein; and b. curing the polymer in the mold, wherein an air trapping and releasing cavity is formed into the polymer by the dowel as the polymer cures; wherein the fishing lure consists of: a head connected to an end of a body; and a tail connected to an end of the body opposite the end of the body connected to the head, wherein the tail and the body each comprise a smooth side and a ridged side, wherein each smooth side comprises a plurality of air trapping and releasing cavities axially aligned with each other along a central axis of the body, wherein each ridged side is absent of any air trapping and releasing cavities, and wherein each of the plurality of air trapping and releasing cavities has a depth perpendicular to the central axis that is greater than a diameter of that air trapping and releasing cavity, and wherein the head consists of a smooth side absent of any air trapping and releasing cavities and a ridged side absent of any air trapping and releasing cavities.
