ABSTRACT:
Hollow lures are ballasted by fluid means to achieve an optimum density for surf casting or trolling so that the lure can stay at the desired level for the game fish to be lured. Such a lure has a means for filling and emptying the body of the lure, to control the density. More particularly, the lure has one or more bulkheads to strengthen the hollow lure and to contain the fluid. These bulkheads may be perforated to any desired degree to control the flow of the fluid fore and aft within the lure. This provides a tail-heavy lure for maximum casting stability, and a level riding lure for its progress through the water. A valve in the body of the lure may also be used to release a controlled amount of fluid--for example a chemical chum--during the progress of the bait-fish lure towards shore.
