Publication number: 20100293832Abstract: A fishing lure (10) engages the senses of predatory fish, ie smell by the emission of fish oil from a compartment (74, FIG. 7), movement of the tail portion (18, FIG. 2), the colour of LED eyes (92, FIG. 3) and changeable rubber casings (16, 18, FIG. 2). Hooks (30, 32, 34, FIG. 3) provided on a body (12, 14, FIG. 2) of the lure (10) are biased towards the lure. The hooks (30, 32, 34) can be latched in a primed position, such that disturbance of the latch releases the hook, which is drawn rapidly towards the body of the lure (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2008Publication date: November 25, 2010Inventor: Terence P.

Publication number: 20080168700Abstract: A fishing tackle includes a worm for luring a target fish, a hook inserted into the worm and hooking the target fish, and a sinker for fixing the worm and the hook. The sinker includes a head portion that has a fixing hole formed at a rear end portion in which a fishing line is knotted and a through-hole formed at a central portion through which a fixed portion of the hook is inserted, and an insertion portion integrally protruded from a front end of the head portion and inserted into the worm to combine the worm and the sinker. Because the sinker is firmly fixed at the worm, no waterweed is wound between the worm and the sinker and the worm is not readily damaged, so that the worm can be re-used.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2007Publication date: July 17, 2008Inventor: Sun Sam KIM

Patent number: 6718684Abstract: A fishing lure comprises a lure body having means for attachment to a fishing line at its front end, one or more fish hooks, and one or more weights mounted along the lower surface of the lure body. The weights are retained along the lower surface of the lure body by a releasable weight mounting means, preferably in the form of a resilient wire, having a fixed end and a movable end which is releasably secured to the lure body. The weights are movable along the mounting means to shift the center of gravity of the lure body toward the front end or the rear end, and release of the movable end of the mounting means from the lure body permits the addition or removal of weights, thereby permitting adjustment of the weight of the lure.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Inventor: Bernard Yong-Set

Publication number: 20020124455Abstract: A fish lure having a hook removably attached at its tail end, said hook supported approximately horizontally, in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the body of the fish lure by a support filament. One end of the support filament is attached to the tail end of the lure, and the other end of the support filament to the hook. When thus supported, a dressed hook simulates the natural motion of a fish tail fin when the lure is pulled through water. The approximately horizontal position of the hook creates a weedless lure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2001Publication date: September 12, 2002Inventor: Randy Bauman

Patent number: 6202337Abstract: A lure is formed by pasting together a pair of identical complementary lure members comprising a transparent or translucent material in such a manner that the inner surfaces of the lure members are spaced from each other to form a hollow therebetween. A rattle booth formed separately from the lure members is fixed within the hollow defined by the complementary lure members, and a rattle is housed in this rattle booth. A retainer for a metal connecting member which extends in the lengthwise direction of the longitudinal joint of the complementary lure members may be provided on the same joint portions, and a leg portion of the metal connecting member fixed to the retainer on the complementary lure members extends in the lengthwise direction of the retainer. Accordingly, a rattle-containing lure radiating reflected light efficiently and having colored light emitting characteristics to draw fishes' attention easily can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Japan Artificial Bait Co., Ltd.Inventor: Gentaro Yoshida
