Abstract: An improved system for baiting fishhooks attached to a fishing line is disclosed. The system comprises a line storage unit and a baiting unit. A fishing line is drawn out of the storage unit and through a bait hopper which contains a series of bearings and deflectors. The hopper is filled with a mixture of liquid and baits, and as the fishing line with attached hooks is drawn through the mixture, each fishhook snags a bait before exiting the hopper. The hopper may include a rotating bearing for varying the path of the fishing line and hooks through the liquid/bait mixture, thus increasing the likelihood that each hook will be baited. The motion of the fishing line as it is drawn through the mixture creates a circulation, which tends to prevent accumulation of the baits at the bottom of the hopper that could interfere with the baiting process.

Abstract: A handlebar system for connecting the bicycle handlebar to the front fork structure in which the portion of the stem in the front fork structure is expandable by the use of a rubber block inside the said stem shank while the connection of the handlebar to the stem is effected by a cap mounted on the stem and removable therefrom to release the handlebar.

Abstract: A fishing lure in which a weight member has an eye at one end for connection to a leader or a line and a hook swivelly connected to the other end. A sleeve element of rubber-like material is closely fitted around the weight and extends rearwardly therealong and beyond the hook and is slit axially from the rear end forwardly a certain distance. Holes in the side of the sleeve toward the rear of the weight permit water to enter the sleeve and cause the slit rearward end of the sleeve to take active motion when the fishing lure is drawn through the water.
