ABSTRACT:
A combined sinker and fishing lure comprises an elongate molded lead body that is substantially half round in cross section along substantially its entire length, has semi-spherical ends, is about 51/2" to 61/2" long and about 3/4" to 1" wide, and weighs about 3/4-1 pound. The lure may be longer, say about 8", but its cross section will be correspondingly smaller to provide the desired weight of about 3/4-1 pound. A length of twisted wire is embedded along the length of the lead body during molding and has an eyelet at each end for connection to a fishing line at one end and a hook at the other end. The peripheral surface of the body has adhered thereto substantially along its length a reflecting tape comprising an outer transparent layer of plastic film, and intermediate reflective layer of vacuum deposited aluminum and an inner layer of adhesive. The reflective layer is formed with an array of light diffraction figures with each figure having substantially concentric arcuate light diffraction grooves, there being at least 10,000 grooves per diametral inch of each figure for producing an iridescent rainbow play of colors when the sinker is immersed in water that receives sunlight. In one pattern, the array is in the form of a plurality of semi-circular figures that overlap to form a "fish scale" design, the diameter of each figure being about 1/4 inches. In another pattern, the figures are formed as an array of fully circular light diffraction figures with a diameter of about one inch.
