not shown but as would be understood to those skilled in the art ) to or through the connector 21 . for the purpose of explanation , operation of the lure 10 is described with reference to the configuration of fig1 and 2 , it being understood the configuration may be varied as disclosed herein without departing from the principles of the disclosed invention as the lure 10 is towed or trailed or retrieved , as shown in fig6 b ambient water 41 , is forced into the front opening 11 in a direction shown by arrow 51 , opposed to the general direction of the lure , as shown by arrow 53 , as it is pulled through the water , and the entrained water 43 , flows internally through the interior channel 20 from the front opening 11 to the rear opening 13 out to the ambient water 41 through the apertures 39 in rear plug 35 . the response of lure 10 to its ballast weight 31 , or the force of the water on inner surface 19 and outer surface 17 , is to submerge filling the interior with water , and to oscillate or swing at the end of the line where it is joined at the connector 21 . the body 12 of lure 10 , responsive to the force of the ballast or the water is made to dive into and rise out of the water as the lure 10 , progresses through the ambient water 41 in the direction 53 . as shown in fig6 a , and as described above , the lure 10 fills with water when diving , trapping the air in a pocket 47 , as shown in fig6 c , in the interior channel 20 and when rising , as shown in fig6 b , air enters the lure to and causes or forces the entrained water 43 , to be drained or forced , from the apertures 39 at the rear plug when it rises out of the water , leaving the interior 20 partially or fully evacuated of water , which is displaced by air pocket 47 . then when the lure 10 dives into the water , the entering water being forced through interior 20 , forces the air pocket 47 to the rear opening 13 , compressing it and forcing it our of the lure interior 20 through the apertures 39 , in streams of bubbles . the water flow 43 through the interior 20 may be varied as described above , by ridges 27 , baffles 29 , flares 34 , or constrictions 33 , to vary the direction of the flow and its velocity at any location along the longitudinal axis , including the rear outlet . the connection point of the lure to the leader or line may be varied to change the angle of attack of the lure to the water , changing its pitching or diving and rising characteristics , according to the needs of the individual using it . similarly , the ballasting of the lure 10 by weight 31 size and location may be varied , without departing from the principles of the disclosed invention . fig6 a , shows the lure 10 when placed in the water 41 and forced into a diving or pitch down position by the ballast 31 or force of the water 43 on the exterior wall 17 , or interior wall 19 . as shown in fig6 c , the lure 10 , is made to submerge fully into the water 41 , trapping an air pocket 47 , in the lure 10 internal channel 20 , which is compressed by the force of entrained water 43 and forced toward the rear opening 13 . a boundary layer 55 is shown at the juncture of the air pocket 47 and entrained water 43 . as the air pocket 47 is displaced to the rear opening 13 , by the force of the water 41 entering the front opening 11 and flowing through the interior channel 20 as entrained water 43 , the air pocket 47 is displaced or forced to rear opening 13 , and is forced through the apertures 39 in the pattern 37 , formed in rear plug 35 and producing a stream of bubbles . 49 , having a pattern , size and dispersion , dependent on the pattern 37 and size of the apertures and the velocity of the flow of the water 43 in and through the interior 20 of lure 10 . as shown in fig6 a , the lure 10 , responsive to the force of the water on the lure 10 as it made to move through the water 41 , and within its oscillating movement , as would be known to those skilled in the art rises from the water 41 , draining the entrained water 43 from die rear plug 35 , apertures 39 , forming an air pocket 47 , all of some of which is trapped in interior channel 20 when the lure dives into the ambient water 41 , forming entrapped air pocket 47 , as shown in fig6 c . as would be known to those skilled in the art , the body 12 of lure 10 may be fitted with a hook 48 proximate the rear opening 13 . the body 12 may be configured to provide a more or less random or erratic oscillatory motion in the vertical and horizontal plane , or composite plane , with reference to the surface of the ambient water 41 . the size , shape and appearance of the lure 10 may be varied as would be apparent to those skilled in the art . the material used to fabricate the lure 10 may be any suitable material known or which may be developed . in a preferred embodiment , an extrudable plastic is used . while this invention and the inventive principles have been described with reference to a preferred embodiment , as would be understood by those skilled in the art , variations may be made without departing from the disclosed inventive principles .
a fishing lure is made with an interior channel communicating with a front opening to and to a pattern of apertures in the rear . the motion of the lure , rising from , and diving into the water , traps an air pocket which is forced out the rear apertures in a stream of bubble which attract fish and other marine life .
