Abstract: A fish hook with multiple convex facets is provided. Each facet may have a length that is some multiple of the diameter of the hook body. In addition, each convex facet has a radius of curvature that is some multiple of the diameter of the wire. Each facet may alternatively be formed from first and second convex surfaces, having first and second curvatures.

Abstract: A fishing rod hanging system is provided. More particularly, a hanger member including a hanger plate and a plurality of rails is provided. The rails generally extend in a first direction from the hanger plate, and can have different lengths. Fastener holes and/or integrated fastener members are provided on the rails. The fastener holes and/or integrated fastener members can be adapted to hold sections of a fishing rod. An accessory package can also be provided that is attached to ends of the fishing rod sections opposite ends attached to the hanger member.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments provided herein, biodegradable filament suitable for use as fishing line and/or fishing net prepared from a polyester copolymer is provided. Embodiments of biodegradable filament is prepared from a polymer blend comprising from about 60% by weight to about 99.9% by weight of polybutylene succinate (PBS) and from about 0.1% by weight to about 40% by weight of a second polymer selected from the group consisting of polycaprolatone (PCL), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and polylactic acid (PLA).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a plume of fish attractant around a submerged lure moving relative to the water are provided. In particular, a diver is provided that includes a structure for receiving a fish attracting substance. The structure for receiving the fish attracting substance is configured so that a plume of the fish attracting substance is directed around a lure connected to the diver while the diver and hire are submerged in and moving relative to the water. A cap for enclosing the structure for receiving the fish attracting substance may be provided for containing the substance while the diver is out of the water.

Abstract: A fishing line compartment having one or more spools containing fishing line parts is provided. The fishing line compartment can be part of a larger container assembly or fishing tackle pack. Each spool can be held in the fishing line compartment using a strap having portions inserted through the bore of the spool. The strap is joined to the fishing line compartment using an attached end. When the attaching end of the strap is also joined to the flap, the strap is in its closed state. When in the closed state, the spool can be rotated and desired tension in the fishing line being unwound can be provided using the strap portions within the spool bore. In one embodiment, a cover overlies at least portions of the spool for use in maintaining a position of the spool in the fishing line compartment.
