  • Patent number: 4118807
    Abstract: A minnow dipper having a handle, a funnel portion and a tubular member defining a minnow receiving chamber is disclosed. An axially extending side opening is formed in the tubular member intermediate open and terminal end portions thereby defining a hooking zone which is sufficiently deep to permit hooking access to a minnow disposed in the chamber. A flexible sheath covers substantially all of the side opening exclusive of the hooking zone for restraining a minnow in the receiving chamber. A slit opening extends along the length of the sheath to permit manual withdrawal of the minnow. In a preferred embodiment, the flexible sheath comprises a portion of a tubular insert having a slit and a notched opening which in combination with the side opening defines the hooking zone.
