ABSTRACT:
An artificial bait is provided for use with a typical fishing hook or jig in which the hook or jig has an average density greater than the average density of water while the artificial bait has an average density less than the average density of water so that the hook tends to sink and the bait tends to float. The volume of the bait is proportioned to the volume of the hook so that their average density taken together slightly exceeds the average density of the water so that the hook and the bait together sink relatively slowly in the water. The bait is shaped to simulate a natural bait and is slidably engaged on the hook in a fashion similar to that in which a natural bait would be secured to the hook. As the hook and bait slowly sink, free portions of the bait extend upwardly toward the water surface and continue to respond to water currents and motion to maintain the tantalizing quality of the bait. The result is a rig of weight suitable for accuracy and distance in casting and yet so counterbalanced for buoyancy as to provide a minimal rate of descent in the water. By selection of a suitable absorbent material for the bait body, a selected bait and hook may be dipped in the water before casting so as to increase its casting weight without changing its descent rate.
