  • Patent number: 4942688
    Abstract: The invention is a structure that is particularly configured to support simultaneously a multitude of fishing lines, and a live bait trap. Attached to each line are several fishing hooks, and all or a portion of the several fishing hooks are specifically designed to secure live fishing bait without doing injurious harm to the live bait, and also all or a portion of the fishing lines may be attached to a tow line equipped with a turning block with multiple hooks, and said turning block features bright, illuminating devices that reflect underwater light in alternating patterns as the turning block rotates freely in a body of water with sufficient current velocity to cause the rotation of the turning block. That particular structure is secured to a landing pier or a boat in a pivotal manner such that the supported multiple lines, fishing hooks and, turning blocks can be conveniently raised from the body of water or lowered into the same body of water.
