ABSTRACT:
A chum device (1) being a biodegradable capsule having at least one hole (4) located on a top end (2) thereof with a closure means (5). The capsule preferably contains a weight (6), activator (7) and chum (8). To use the device, a user removes the closure means (5) to reveal the at least one hole (4). Then, the user may shake the device (1) and toss the device (1) into the water. Because the device (1) is weighted and an air pocket rises to the capsule top end (2), the device (1) remains in an upright position as it sinks to the bottom of a water body. As the device (1) is sinking, the chum (8) slowly exits the device (1) through the at least one hole (4) and floats to the surface of the water. Because fish are attracted to the smell of the chum (8) and the sight of bubbles, fish flock to the area where the chum (8) and device (1) are located.
