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 there through. The handle is affixed to the scoop portion at such an angle that when held level it permits the minnow to swim headfirst 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 approximate the contour of the inside of a minnow bucket.

A minnow dipper of transparent material so as to avoid unduly arousing a minnow as it is being scooped-up into the minnow dipper while in a pool of water, e.g. in a minnow bucket, said dipper a dipper portion which is integrally formed with an elongated handle portion extending longitudinally rearwardly therefrom to a free end; said dipper portion including a bottom wall, two opposite upstanding sidewalls and an upstanding front wall; said handle portion being constituted by wall means of hollow, steeply generally conical shape, so as to be convergent away from said dipper portion, and having means defining a longitudinally extending, upwardly opening slot through said wall means, extending from said dipper portion to adjacent said free end, thereby providing an upwardly open sluiceway from said dipper portion to adjacent said free end of said handle portion; said dipper portion being generally triangular as seen in top plan, with said two opposite sidewalls converging from laterally opposite margins of said front wall to said handle portion; said bottom wall of said dipper portion being generally upwardly concave and including an upwardly opening, longitudinally elongated shallow trough which begins, gradually, midway between said sidewalls near said front wall and increases in depth until smoothly merging with said sluiceway there said dipper portion adjoins said handle portion; at least one of said upstanding walls of said dipper portion having opening means provided therethrough which extend down to adjacent said bottom wall, but insufficiently downwards to substantially drain said dipper portion when said dipper portion is being held to contain a minnow, but sufficiently to cause the minnow to lower into said shallow trough; said bottom wall and shallow trough thereof being imperforate; means providing an upstanding stop for said slot, at the free end of said handle portion; and drain opening means through said handle portion near said stop, so that when the minnow dipper is used to scoop-up a minnow from a pool of water, so long as the dipper is maintained with said trough lowermost where said dipper portion adjoins said handle portion, excess water will drain out of said opening means and lower the minnow, still in water, into said shallow groove, and so that as the minnow dipper is then tilted slightly to place the free end of the handle portion at least nearly as low as said trough where said dipper portion adjoins said handle portion, the minnow will reorient itself downstream and sluice with water contained in said dipper portion below said opening means down and sluiceway towards said upstanding stop, whereupon the water in the sluiceway will drain out of said drain opening means leaving the minnow aground in said sluiceway, oriented with its head away from said dipper portion; said handle portion being of sufficient depth that when minnows of sizes commonly used as bait become aground in said sluiceway and exposed through said slot, but closely flanked on both sides by said wall means throughout a substantial part of the height of the minnow.
