| 20100223833 | Non-Rotational, Self-Correcting, Point-On-Top, Hook - A fishing hook having a shank, bend, eye, and point having a specific gravity greater than that of water is combined with a weight also having a density greater than that of water, and is additionally combined with a buoyant floating body which has a density less than that of water. The combination is arranged so that the hook, weight, and buoyant floating body being co operable together to cause the hook to orient in a more or less horizontal position, with the bend of the hook going “up”, and the point of the hook maintained in a position “on top” of or above the shank, and facing forward, and will not rotate sideways or backwards. This orientation is maintained at all times and is self correcting at all times; whether the lure is fished on the surface of the water, or suspended under the surface of the water, or while sinking and falling toward the bottom, or resting on the bottom, or while being drawn over underwater obstacles. Furthermore, this orientation is not dependent upon the contour of the bottom surface to maintain that position. Additionally, the maintaining of the orientation is not dependent upon the lure being suspended from the string, or dependent upon the lure orienting in the hook up position because it is being retrieved. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20120186134 | FAKE BAIT HAVING ADJUSTMENT DEVICE - A fake bait having an adjustment device includes a main body, an engaging member and a resistant board. The main body has an accommodation trough at a head portion thereof and an inclined board in the accommodation trough. The engaging member has a toothed section which is biased by a resilient element. The resistant board has a toothed portion to engage with the toothed section of the engaging member. The engaging member and the resistant board are received in the accommodation trough and located on the inclined board. When the resistant board is pulled, the resistant board biased by the resilient element of the engaging member is adjusted forward or backward through the teethed portion of the resistant board to engage with the teethed section of the engaging member, providing a positioning effect. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20120186135 | Fishing Lure - A fishing lure manufactured from polycarbonate thermoplastic resin, which is lightweight, durable and economical, with high tensile strength but some flex. The lure mimics the appearance and action of an injured needlefish. The front portion is planar but the rear portion is curved, the curve characterized by a transverse bend and a slight twist about the longitudinal axis. The lure is precisely balanced so that, when pulled through the water, the twist causes the lure to roll x times clockwise, winding up the leader, whereupon the bend and the weight of the lure cause the leader to unwind then wind up counter-clockwise, so that the lure rolls counter-clockwise, settling into a reverse roll action of 2× rolls in one direction, then 2× rolls in the opposite direction, repeated indefinitely. This realistic action induces game fish to strike in a reaction bite. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20120260560 | Fishing Lure - A metal fishing lure having the appearance, action and small electrical charge of an injured bait fish. The front portion is planar but the rear portion is curved, the curve characterized by a transverse bend and a slight twist about the longitudinal axis. The lure is precisely balanced so that, when pulled through the water, the twist causes the lure to roll x times clockwise, winding up the leader, whereupon the bend and the weight of the lure cause the leader to unwind then wind up counter-clockwise, so that the lure rolls counter-clockwise, settling into a reverses roll action of 2x rolls in one direction, then 2x rolls in the opposite direction, repeated indefinitely. This realistic action induces game fish to strike in a reaction bite. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120272563 | Controllable suspension fishing lure - A fishing lure includes a plurality of segments flexibly joined by a flexible line linkage to form a substantially linier array of segments. One or more fish hooks are secured to one or more of the segments. A fish line attachment is provided at the front most segment of the linier array. A plurality of angled slots are formed between each segment due to the spaced linier array. Each segment defines an internal buoyancy chamber and one or more vent apertures are provided which control the flow of water into the buoyancy chambers when the fishing lure is emerced. The lure provides a variety of travel paths and performance under the control of the user through manipulation of the attached fishing line. | 11-01-2012 |
| 20120324778 | LURE - A lure of the present invention includes a body, a sinker moving spatial portion provided inside the body and extending in an anteroposterior direction of the body, a spherical sinker accommodated in the sinker moving spatial portion to be movable along the sinker moving spatial portion in the anteroposterior direction of the body, and a retainer provided at a front side of the sinker moving spatial portion and can retain the spherical sinker due to magnetic force thereof. A partition is provided between the front portion of the sinker moving spatial portion and the retainer, and the partition has an inclined surface portion that is gradually reduced in thickness from the sinker moving spatial portion toward the retainer. The lure provides a shiftable center of gravity due to movement of a spherical sinker. | 12-27-2012 |
| 20130180159 | FISHING JIG INCLUDING IMPROVED HEAD, WEED GUARD, AND ADJUSTABLE FALL FEATURES - Various embodiments provide fishing jig having improved head, weed guard, and adjustable fall features. Trailing weights are adjustable in size and/or position within the jig, provide for adjustment of the fall characteristics of a given jig for a given situation. Movement of weights forward along the jig cause the jig to fall more forwardly, and vice versa. All else being the same, increasing size of weights at a given position on the rear of the jig cause the jig to fall more rearwardly, and vice versa. Thus a rear weight that can be adjusted in size, shape, and position or completely removed and reused, without destroying the jig or weight system. Also provided is a wire coil and a skirt-mounting collar on the same lure, providing improved weedless capability. Also provided is a jig with a “dropped” line attachment eye, giving an upward movement when the lure is pulled in. | 07-18-2013 |
| 20130192121 | Deep Diving Fishing Lure - A deep diving fishing lure having a forwardly-extending diving lip is provided with a fore-and-aft pivotable lure positioning arm pivotably mounted about a pivot axis within the diving lip near the lower portion of the forward face. The lure positioning arm, when fixed in an aft position relative to the pivot axis rests within a longitudinally extending groove located in the diving lip. The lure positioning arm, when in the fixed aft position maintains the lure in a diving position when pulled through a body of water but negates the lure's tendency to dive when released from the aft position. | 08-01-2013 |
