Abstract:

Methods and devices for recharging glow-in-the-dark fishing lures. Devices can include an internal cavity, an external opening into the cavity and a light source projecting into the cavity. Some cavities have an opaque, reflective wall and a light source projecting directly into the cavity. Other cavities have a translucent cavity wall and a light source shining in from outside of the cavity, through the cavity wall, and into the cavity. The light may be activated using a manual switch or an automatic switch which triggers upon detecting the passage of a lure into the cavity or the presence of a lure within the cavity. One such lure detector includes a weight sensitive electrical switch. Devices may resemble hand held mugs with handles or may be flange mounted into through-holes in boats decks.
