Abstract: The present invention relates to nets, preferably for fishing, webbed onto a discharging device, a discharging system and a method for manufacture of such nets and discharging systems. The net, the system and the method make possible to determine the opening of the net's meshes by way of a mounting-line and a netting-device coupled with the mounting-line, which permits the mounting of longer nets onto shorter net ropes. The mounting line is attached to the mesh-cell or mounting mesh-cell of the net to maintain a fixed opening size of the meshes, during discharge and operation of the net.

Abstract: A device for attracting and capturing or otherwise disabling insects includes a fan mechanism structured and arranged to provide an outflow of air out of the device to atmosphere, and to draw an inflow directed counter the outflow from atmosphere into the device, the outflow being substantially within the inflow outside of the device. The flow mechanism is also structured and arranged to provide an insect attractant in the outflow. The device can include mounting structure being adapted to position the device with the outflow directed in a substantially downward direction. The outflow attracts insects to the vicinity of the device, and the inflow urges the insects to enter the device. An insect disabling structure is arranged with the flow mechanism to capture or otherwise disable insects being urged into the device by the inflow.

Abstract: Fishhooks (20), artificial lures (23, 35, 65, 67 and 91) or trailer rods (120) include both an anodic segment (25, 85 and 105) and a cathodic segment (27). The anodic and cathodic segments (25, 85, 105 and 27) are arranged so that immersion of fishhooks (20), artificial lures (23, 35, 65, 67 and 91) or trailer rods (120) in water establishes a galvanic cell that generates an electo-magnetic field which simulates the natural bioelectric field of living prey. A particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention interposes an insulated segment (29) between the anodic and cathodic segments (25, 85, 105 and 27) of fishhooks (20), artificial lures (23, 35, 65, 67 and 91). While galvanic action occurs between the anodic and cathodic segments, fishhooks (20) and artificial lures (23, 35, 65, 67 and 91) and trailer rods (120) in accordance with the present invention establish a constant, bioelectric simulating electromagnetic field.

Abstract: An electronic animal trap with a CPU-controlled, rearming, three-killing-plate configuration and extended killing cycle for trapping and exterminating larger rodents such as rats. The high-voltage output circuit is connected to a pair of killing plates which are activated with a high-voltage pulse train for a killing cycle when a pest of known impedance is sensed across said pair of plates. A third killing plate, electrically coupled to a first plate of said pair of plates, is brought to the voltage level of the first plate within approximately 1 msec of circuit activation for increased kill and escape-prevention capabilities.

Abstract: A keeper for securing various configurations of rigged fishing line comprises a doubled strand of rigid wire bent into a form which allows a fixed end to be secured to a fishing rod blank while an open other end remains open to allow a rigged line to be inserted under it. A method of attaching the keeper to a fishing rod blank aligns it axially with the open end toward the reel seat and applies silicone type or an equivalent waterproof fastener means around the fixed end and the rod blank.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mouse trap for insertion through the opening in the top of a pop can. The trap is formed of one piece stainless spring steel and includes a can-engaging element affixed to a can-engaging clip for engaging opposed surfaces of the pop can top. An intermediate element is affixed to the can-engaging element and to support element which, in turn, is affixed to a bait support element. The trap obstructs the can opening when the trap is in the release or sprung position.

Abstract: Two V-shaped fishing rod support elements are telescopingly coupled together and each element has a tubular element fastened thereto. Each support element has a pointed end which is forced into the ground to support a fishing rod once the two elements have been separated from each other.

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.

The pest removal device comprises an engagement side covered by an adhesive layer, a backing side positioned opposite the engagement side, a single release tab covered with a non-adhesive layer extending from the pest removal device for removing the engagement side from the surface.

Abstract: A rotating artificial bait in body of artificial bait, it is put together with half-sectioned bait shell, isolated layers with proper room are formed inside, isolated layer and block & arc slot at center of shell can embed in tip of mandrel of passive vane and active rotating vane with mandrel, so that passive vane is built in middle of spacial groove, active rotating vane is fixed in two sides of shell so as to make a coaxial core but not communicating each other, in addition, put several ball beads inside spacial groove so that ball beads can move close to vane of passive vane, magnets are fixed at end of passive vane and active rotating vane respectively; these magnets can produce mutual magnetic attraction so that active rotating vane can drive passive vane to rotate synchronously and let vane of passive vane collide ball bead successively, the collision may produce sound frequency to attract fish and eye-like vivid effect, therefore, it may promote possibility of attracting big fish to eat bait.

Abstract: A mole trap has a pair of spring-loaded jaws. A platform is pivotally connected to the jaws to limit the travel of the trap into the ground and to stabilize the trap on the ground when it is set. A lever assembly forces the jaws open. A trigger mechanism includes a clasp member configured to selectively hold the lever assembly in a set position. The trap may be positioned such that a portion of the trigger mechanism is on the ground above a mole burrow. The disturbance of a mole traveling beneath the trigger causes the clasp member to disengage the lever assembly, permitting the lever assembly to collapse, thereby permitting the jaws to close and destroy the animal.

The cup is inserted into the existing beverage holder opening in the boat. The tube extends into, and upwardly, at an angle from, the cup, receives and supports the handle of the fishing rod, and has a bottom that is open so as to allow the handle of any length of the fishing rod to pass therethrough and be received and supported by the tube.

Abstract: A fishing lure having an internal cavity for containing a hook and a weight attached to the hook such that the weight is coupled to the hook closer to a throat of the hook than to a line receiving portion of the hook. The combined hook and weight resist being pulled through a shank containing region of lure. The weight may be positioned in a midsection of the lure enabling the lure to maintain a relatively level attitude in the water while being pulled through the water.

Abstract: An ice fishing apparatus includes a housing that includes a peripheral wall having an upper edge and a lower edge. A covering is positioned on the upper edge. The covering has an aperture extending therethrough. A fishing reel is attached to the cover adjacent to the aperture. A flexible post is attached to the cover and is positioned for being engaged to the reel such that the post is released from the reel when the reel rotates in a first direction.
