  • Patent number: 9596838
    Abstract: A fish hook setting device having a housing with longitudinal passage, a collet shaft slideably received within the longitudinal passage of the housing, a trigger assembly comprising a trigger rod slideably received within the collet shaft and a collet, and a biasing member engaged with the collet shaft. When the device is in a cocked state, the biasing member is compressed, and when the device is in an un-cocked state, the biasing member is decompressed. When a fish bites on the bait of the hook, the device is triggered from the cocked state to the un-cocked state as the trigger rod and the collet shaft are forced upwards by the biasing member to set the hook into the mouth of the fish.

  • Patent number: 9497950
    Abstract: A beacon light for a free floating fishing device having a transparent or translucent upper housing slidably engaged and friction fit with a lower base. The lower base is configured to be removably or permanently attached to the free floating fishing device. A lighting assembly is housed within the upper housing, and the lighting assembly includes a power source in electrical communication with a light source. A conductive biasing linkage, such as a compression spring, is housed within the upper housing and configured to be in electrical contact between the power source and the light source. The upper housing, the lighting assembly, and the lower base are in coaxial and concentric alignment. The lower base is configured to contact the conductive biasing linkage to complete the path of an electrical circuit between the power supply, the biasing linkage and the light source in order to selectively energize the light source.
