Abstract
Laser-illuminated lures which are characterized by lures of selected design having a hard or soft body and fitted with a laser beam-emitting mechanism or device which includes a laser emitter, a laser circuit board and a battery for energizing the circuit board and laser emitter. In a preferred embodiment the laser device is implanted in the lures and the laser emitter positioned to highlight one or more features of the lures such as a spinner, skirt, hook or the like to attract fish to the lure. In another preferred embodiment more than one laser device may be implanted or otherwise positioned inside a lure to highlight various features of the lure, as desired. The laser circuit may be energized by tightening a removable segment of the lure against a spring seated on the battery which supplies electricity to the laser circuit or by a switch mounted in the lure body.
