ABSTRACT:
Luminescent fishing lures of both the rigid and flexible body type, which include in a first rigid body embodiment, placing a chemiluminescent first component material in a body cavity formed in the lure and inserting a second component activator or material through an opening in the body to produce an illuminating glow. Alternatively, the first component can be located in a flexible container, the second component also provided in the container inside a frangible vial and the components mixed by crushing the vial and then introducing them as a luminescent mixture into the body cavity. In a second, flexible body embodiment, a mixing capsule is inserted in the body of a flexible lure such as a plastic worm or grub, the mixing capsule having a chemiluminescent or first component compartment and a separate activator or second component compartment, separated by at least one frangible membrane. When the lure is used, the fragible membrane is ruptured by finger pressure and the first component material is mixed with the second component material, or activator, to produce the desired luminescent glow. In a most preferred embodiment of the invention, both the rigid body lure and the flexible body lure are provided with alternating opaque and transparent patterns to facilitate chemical glow from selected transparent areas on the lures.
