Abstract The internal tract of organic fishing baits such as angleworms, nightcrawlers, crayfish, or other suitable physiological creatures, is injected with a liquid chemiluminescent light source for the purpose of enhancing attraction of game fish toward the bait. The chemiluminescent light source is of longterm extended continuous time-duration and is chemically generated by the slow continuing inter-reaction within the fishing bait of at least two normally stable chemical components including a first-component and a second-component. The dispensing device therefor includes a manually resiliently compressible container for the liquid chemiluminescent light source and communicating with a sharp needle-like snout for injecting said chemiluminescent light into the organic bait. Preferred dispensing devices include a manually pressurable rupturable segregation means within the container for mutually isolating the first-component and second-component where they are indefinitely maintainable in ''''ready'''' non-chemiluminescent condition until they are purposely desegregated into admixture for inter-reaction to commence the long-term chemiluminescent time-duration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
The method for illuminating transluscent fishing bait having an internal tract so as to enhance the attraction of said illuminated bait for game fish, said method comprising the following steps in order: A. Initiatably desegregating normally stable interreactive chemical components including a first-component and a secondcomponent to allow said chemical components to inter-react thereby initiating a liquid chemiluminescent light source having a long-term extended continuous time-duration; B. Penetrating a needle-like tubular snout tool deeply into the bait internal tract; C. Injecting the liquid inter-reacting chemiluminescent light source into the internal tract of a transluscent bait through said penetrated tubular snout; D. Incorporating the internally illuminated transluscent bait into the leadward portion of a fishingline as a tackle portion therefor; and E. Casting the leadward fishingline including the said chemiluminescent treated bait from a fisherman''s castingstation to an aquatic medium remote therefrom.

The method for illuminating transluscent fishing bait having an internal tract so as to enhance the attraction of said illuminated bait for game fish, said method comprising the following steps in order: A. Initiatably desegregating normally stable interreactive chemical components including a first-component and a secondcomponent to allow said chemical components to inter-react thereby initiating a liquid chemiluminescent light source having a long-term extended continuous time-duration; B. Penetrating a needle-like tubular snout tool deeply into the bait internal tract; C. Injecting the liquid inter-reacting chemiluminescent light source into the internal tract of a transluscent bait through said penetrated tubular snout; D. Incorporating the internally illuminated transluscent bait into the leadward portion of a fishingline as a tackle portion therefor; and E. Casting the leadward fishingline including the said chemiluminescent treated bait from a fisherman''s castingstation to an aquatic medium remote therefrom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the transluscent bait is a physiological organic creature having a gastro-intestinal internal tract.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The method of claim 2 wherein thE physiological organic bait is a worm-like living creature selected from a class consisting of angleworms and nightcrawlers and having a gastro-intestinal tract terminating as a feeding mouth; and wherein the liquid chemiluminescent light source is pressurably injected into the creature''s mouth to expand and illuminate the gastro-intestinal tract.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the organic bait is a transluscent living minnow-fish having a gastro-intestinal internal tract that terminates as an anus; and wherein the liquid chemiluminescent light source is pressurably injected into the minnow-fish anus to expand and illuminate the gastro-intestinal tract.
