  • Patent number: 11937611
    Abstract: A device for hanging captured game is provided. The device includes a polymerized device body. The device body includes a front planar surface and a rear planar surface, wherein the rear planar surface is parallel to the front planar surface. The device body further includes a rimless boundary around a perimeter of the polymerized device body and a game hook formed unitarily with the polymerized device body such that a first surface of the game hook is coincident to the front planar surface and a second surface of the game hook is coincident to the rear planar surface. The front planar surface directly transitions to the rimless boundary. The rear planar surface directly transitions to the rimless boundary.

  • Publication number: 20230380395
    Abstract: A fishing lure is provided. The fishing lure includes a fishing lure spoon body. The spoon body includes a relatively flat forward section including an attachment feature capable of being secured to a fishing line. The spoon body further includes a longitudinally flat central section offset from the relatively flat forward section. The spoon body further includes an S-shaped section connected to and transitioning between the relatively flat forward section and the longitudinally flat central section. The spoon body further includes a trailing edge portion curving toward the relatively flat forward section. The fishing lure further includes at least one hook. The spoon body is convex upon a first side and concave upon a second side. The spoon body is configured for creating hydrodynamic lift when the spoon body is pulled through the water.
