Abstract
A limb line fishing device having a length of fishing line and an indicator. The indicator slidably receives the fishing line.

Claims16
A limb line fishing device comprising:
- (a) a length of fishing line comprising a first end and a second end, wherein a fishing hook is connected to said first end of said fishing line;
- and
- (b) an indicator having a first end and a second end and a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side, wherein said indicator has a plurality of holes, each of said plurality of holes extending from said first longitudinal side of said indicator to said second longitudinal side of said indicator, wherein said indicator slidably receives said fishing line through said plurality of holes, wherein said limb line fishing device is configured such that said first end of said indicator points towards said fishing hook while suspended in air by said fishing line unless tension is applied to said first end of said fishing line.
A limb line fishing device comprising:
- (a) a length of fishing line comprising a first end and a second end, wherein a fishing hook is connected to said first end of said fishing line;
- and
- (b) an indicator having a first hole, a second hole and a third hole positioned along a longitudinal length of said indicator, wherein each of said first hole, said second hole and said third hole extends laterally through said indicator from a first longitudinal side of said indicator to a second longitudinal side of said indicator, wherein said indicator slidably receives said fishing line through said first hole, said second hole and said third hole, wherein said limb line fishing device is configured such that a first end of said indicator points towards said fishing hook while suspended in air by said fishing line unless tension is applied to said first end of said fishing line.
A limb line fishing device comprising:
- (a) a length of fishing line comprising a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said fishing line is connected to a fishing hook and said second end of said fishing line is operable to be connected to a fixed object;
- and
- (b) an indicator comprising a first end and a second end, wherein said indicator comprises a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side, wherein said indicator comprises a first hole, a second hole and a third hole, wherein said first hole extends from said first longitudinal side of said indicator to said second longitudinal side of said indicator, wherein said second hole extends from said first longitudinal side of said indicator to said second longitudinal side of said indicator, wherein said third hole extends from said first longitudinal side of said indicator to said second longitudinal side of said indicator, wherein said first hole is offset from said second hole, wherein said first hole, said second hole and said third hole of said indicator slidably receive said fishing line, wherein said limb line fishing device is configured such that said first end of said indicator transitions from pointing downward towards said fishing hook when said indicator is suspended in air from said fixed object by said fishing line to pointing upward when tension is applied to said first end of said fishing line.
