14 MINNOW DIPPER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A monolithic, rigid minnow dipper constructed of clear or transparent material (plastic in the preferred embodiment), including a handle and a scoop portion. The handle is hollow and conical, and serves to trap individual minnows so that they may be hooked to serve as live fishing bait. The scoop portion includes perforated sidewalls, an unperforated end wall and an unperforated lower portion which tapers toward a funneled trough-shaped handle having a cross- section shaped like a minnow. The trough opening of the handle serves to permit a hook to be inserted into the trapped minnow and, after the minnow is slipped backward a short distance, is wide enough to remove the hooked minnow therethrough. The handle is affixed to the scoop portion at such an angle that when held level it permits the minnow to swim head first into the handle. The handle has sufficient perforations to release water as it flows through the handle. In the preferred embodiment, the top contour on scoop portion is shaped on the end opposite the handle to approxi- mate the contour of the inside of the minnow bucket.
