Abstract: Fishing line accessory systems, methods, and apparatuses for securing strike indicators, bobbers, floats, weights, and other accessories to a fishing line include a primary coupling component and a secondary threaded coupling component. At least one of the coupling components has a gap defined therein. At least one of the coupling components has at least one fishing accessory connected or connectable thereto. The secondary coupling component is matable with the primary coupling component such that the gap is obstructed when the coupling components are in a mating relationship. A fishing line that is captured by the coupling components in an adjustably secure relationship can be adjusted without completely disengaging the threaded coupling components.

Abstract: An improved bead (10), for use on a string or a line (13), that allows addition to or removal from the string transversely rather than axially, obviating the task of threading the bead with the string. Such a bead finds great benefit when used as a fishing bead, sinker or float, but may be found useful in many other applications.

Abstract: The present invention is a sinker for fishing. The sinker preferably comprises an attachment cap with a perimeter groove, a cavity and an attachment post with a hole. The cap can be attached to a fishing line or swivel at the attachment post. The cap is insertable into a weighted body through a gasket that interfaces with the perimeter groove. The weighted body preferably has a dimpled cavity that aligns with the cavity of the cap when inserted. The gasket is preferably an O-ring made of natural or synthetic rubber. The cap preferably comprises anodized aluminum and the weighted body preferably comprises steel or stainless steel.

Abstract: An audible fishing weight has a striker is constrained for reciprocating linear motion relative to at least one anvil face between upper and lower limits of the motion. The striker and anvil face are adapted and arranged to produce fish-attractive sound when the striker contacts the anvil face at the lower limit of the striker linear motion with respect to the anvil face.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fishing tackle stem guide for use in fishing in multiple seasons. The stem guide includes an elongated rod, at least one sleeve stop, a stem connector and a line stop. The elongated rod includes at least one line shoulder therein extending from an outer surface of the elongated rod to within the elongated rod for receiving a fishing line. The at least one sleeve stop limits the movement of a sleeve in a lengthwise direction of the elongated rod. The stem connector is located on a first end of the elongated rod. The line stop system includes a movable sleeve positioned on the elongated rod and is located on a second end of the elongated rod for fixing a position of the fishing line in a first line shoulder relative to the elongated rod in a first position to enable the fishing line to be restrained from sliding along the line shoulder and for positioning the fishing line in a second line shoulder in a second position to enable the fishing line to be slidable along the line shoulder.

Abstract: A filament connector for fastening a fishing hook or a swivel to a fishing line, or for fastening two fishing lines together, includes a body provided with an internal cavity connected to the exterior of the body by an aperture, a pair of walls of the cavity converged towards the aperture, a wedge member positioned and movable within the cavity has part surfaces facing the walls of the cavity, whereby a filament can be formed into a bight within the cavity, around the wedge member and out through the aperture so that tension in the filament pulls the wedge member towards the aperture, the filament becoming trapped between at least one of the walls and the adjacent part surface of the wedge member.
