The ornamental design for a fish attractor, as shown.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dodger type fish attractor showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view thereof, taken along lines 4-4 of FIG. 3 with an insert shown;

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a dodger type fish attractor, taken along lines 5-5 of FIG. 6 with an insert;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view of a dodger type fish attractor with an insert shown; and,

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view thereof, taken along lines 7-7 of FIG. 6 with an insert shown.

This invention is a new design for a fish attractor that uses a fish attractant insert. The attractor has at least one of a cavity that accommodates an insert, which runs along to the centerline of the main body of the attractor and does not adversely affect the performance of the attractor while it is being retrieved or trolled through water. The cavities may run along the centerline of the main body of the attractor or may run parallel to the centerline of the main body.

At each end of each cavity is a portion of the main body of the attractor that is cupped towards the first side of the attractor to accommodate an insert. The cupped portions are slightly wider than the diameter of the insert and slightly deeper than the radius of the insert. The cupped portion is open on the second side of the main body.

Each cavity has a strap that is comprised of a portion of the main body of the attractor, which arches towards the second side of the main body of the attractor. The strap opposes the cupped portions at the ends of each cavity. The strap accommodates the insertion of an insert. The purpose of this strap is to cradle the insert and hold it securely in place. The cupped ends of the cavity and the strap could be reversed in their relationship to the first side and second side of the attractor.

The broken line showing of environment in the drawings is included for the purpose of illustrating only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Thomson, James D.
