Abstract
Abstract The fish bait or lure is an extruded composition resembling a natural worm. It is flexible and resilient and is of sufficient strength to be impaled upon a fishhook and withstand normal fishing activities with the hook. The method comprises extruding the wormlike fish bait or lure, and the apparatus comprises the vessel containing the suitable composition and on which is mounted an extrusion nozzle from which can be pressure-extruded the wormlike fish bait or lure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
Apparatus for producing an extruded wormlike fish lure, comprising a vessel pressurized with a pressurant and having means including a fish bait composition in said vessel and an extrusion nozzle connected to said vessel for extruding from said vessel a fish lure of said composition that is wormlike in length, diameter, flexibility, resiliency, rubberiness, and strength sufficient to permit the lure to be impaled upon a fishhook and immersed in water while maintaining its wormlike form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
Apparatus for producing an extruded wormlike fish lure, comprising a vessel pressurized with a pressurant and having means including a fish bait composition in said vessel and an extrusion nozzle connected to said vessel for extruding from said vessel a fish lure of said composition that is wormlike in length, diameter, flexibility, resiliency, rubberiness, and strength sufficient to permit the lure to be impaled upon a fishhook and immersed in water while maintaining its wormlike form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said fish bait composition is wormlike in color and includes a flavoring attactive to fish.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means includes a manually actuateD valve for controlling communication between said nozzle and the interior of said vessel.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
69 words
A method of producing a wormlike fish lure, which comprises providing a pressurized vessel having an extrusion nozzle and containing a fish bait composition, and pressure-extruding through said nozzle from said vessel a fish lure of said composition that is wormlike in length, diameter, flexibility, resiliency, rubberiness, and strength sufficient to permit the lure to be impaled upon a fishhook and immersed in water while maintaining its wormlike form.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
