ABSTRACT:
A submersible bait dispenser provides for the release of "chum" or free bait, at a predetermined depth in the water in the vicinity of the baited hook or lure being used by an angler. The dispenser generally comprises a container with a selectively openable door or panel, connected to a line. A deformable catch secures the door or panel in the closed position until opening is desired. The same line used for lowering the dispenser in the water, is also used for opening the panel as desired. The present dispenser is filled with "chum" (either live or killed bait, as desired) and lowered in the water to a predetermined depth, at approximately the same depth as the baited hook or lure being used by the angler; the device may be lowered to rest upon the bottom of the body of water, if so desired. Upon reaching the desired depth, the line is given a sharp tug, which releases the deformable catch and opens the door or panel, thereby releasing the "chum" in the vicinity of the baited hook or lure, where it will serve to attract fish to the vicinity of the baited hook or lure. The device may then be retrieved using the remote lowering and release line, for reuse as desired. The present submersible bait dispenser may include some form of ballast weight therein, as desired, and is preferably formed of non-corrosive materials which are also resistant to freezing, for ease of use in ice fishing.
