ABSTRACT:
A floating fish-attracting device having both submerged and surface fish-attraction features, which device includes an inflated vehicle tire inner tube, an upper and lower disk secured to the inner tube and carrying an elongated bait container support at one end, and a bait container submerged beneath the inner tube and attached to the opposite end of the bait container support. In one embodiment the bait container is provided with multiple holes to facilitate placing minnows and/or other aquatic bait inside the bait container. A first light is provided in a sealed housing above the bait container for illuminating the minnows or other aquatic life in the container and a second housing and light are mounted on the top disk above the surface of the water, along with a system of batteries and switches for controlling illumination of the lights in the upper and lower housings. In a most preferred embodiment of the invention a reflector is positioned on the top light housing to reflect light on an area of water adjacent the inner tube.
