DESCRIPTION
A fishing lure comprised of a cap (A) of which has screw or similar type connecting threads (6) and two tubular hollow chambers (B) (C) with like threads (3) (4) (12) in which the main hollow chamber (B) contains a crushable glass ampoule (2) with colored chemiluminescent chemicals that produce illumination when mixed with a second activating chemical compound when said glass ampoule (2) is crushed inside the hollow tubular chamber (18) (20) and a second separate and smaller hollow tubular chamber (19) with curved tail fins (23) (15) that is connected to said first main chamber (B) by the screw on threads (4) located on the bottom portion of said first chamber thus creating a new chamber (19) that holds scented fish attractant oils and two (14) (13) small holes on the side of said second chamber that allow water to enter into the upper larger hole (13) and pass through a sponge or like fibrous material (11) that is soaked in fish attractant liquid then out of the second smaller hole (14) as it is spinning through the water and produces a trail of scent. The top cap (A) portion can also be connected together with the bottom tail (C) portion and used without the main body (B) of the lure as a separate scent releasing fish attractant lure on its own if so desired. The spinning motion is created due to the curved tail fins (23). The main body (B) of the lure is composed of polypropylene or like translucent durable plastic material the top cap (A) and lower fin (C) portion are composed of a metal or like material in (FIG. 1) or a plastic material that incases lead weights within (FIG. 2).
