Abstract: A self-propelled fishing lure which includes a head to which a watertight housing is secured. A propulsion mechanism is located within the housing and is driven by a battery source. Secured over the housing is a resilient body, a portion of which defines a passageway that permits the introduction of water to and the expulsion of water from the propulsion mechanism. At least a portion of the body is provided in a first orientation relative to the head and that portion is movable from the first orientation into a second orientation upon actuation of the propulsion mechanism and the expulsion of water out through the passageway. As a result of the expulsion of water and the movement of the body portion into the second orientation, the lure is propelled through the water under its own power.

Abstract: A light weight and portable pond boat. The boat includes a frame designed to be flexible and readily disassembled. The frame is supported on a pair of inflatable pontoons and can be positioned along their length, without requiring deflation, to adjust the trim of the boat. A propulsion mechanism is removably mounted to the frame and includes a set of pedals which drive a propeller. The angle at which the propulsion mechanism is carried by the frame is also adjustable to vary the boat's draw requirements. The propulsion mechanism includes a mechanism that enables it to "kick-up" when a submerged object is contacted, lessening damage to the propeller. A steering mechanism and an adjustable seat are also removably mounted to the frame. With all of its components being detachable, capable of being disassembled or deflated, the boat can be packed within a motor vehicle enhancing transportation and storage.
