Abstract
A fish lure having a light-transparent, plastic body having a non-transparent coating of a paint or film over a portion of the upper surface of the lure body and one or more uncovered portions that permit light, such as sunlight, to pass through the lure body, and be visible from the underside and opposed sides of the lure. The body also contains a transparent liquid containing glitter pieces, and the allowed sunlight reflects off the glitter pieces despite the presence of the non-transparent coating covering portions of the lure body. The body can also have a sealable lower chamber filled with the liquid containing glitter pieces, and a sealable upper chamber filled with a gas that provides buoyancy to float the lure on the surface of a water body, horizontal and upright along the surface of the water body.
