Patent ID: 8240078

Claim:
A fishing lure, comprising: a body having external flank surfaces; a plurality of light sources, each of which light sources are monochromatic and wherein at least one of said plurality of light sources is of a first wavelength and wherein at least a second of said plurality of light sources is of a second wavelength, and wherein said plurality of light sources shine light out from said flank surfaces when activated; and a light sensor for detecting ambient light levels external to said body; wherein said plurality of light sources each have an output intensity that varies as a function of said ambient light levels detected by said sensor, said fishing lure further including circuitry within said body for selectively flashing said plurality of light sources in a flash pattern at predetermined activation intervals, wherein said flash pattern includes random flashing of said plurality of light sources between said at least one of said plurality of light sources of said first wavelength and at least said second of said plurality of light sources of said second wavelength.
