Abstract
A fishing line accessory system for securing fishing accessories to a fishing line includes a primary coupling component, a secondary coupling component coupleable with the primary coupling component, and at least one fishing accessory. The at least one fishing accessory being at least one inflatable fishing accessory. The fishing line is secured between the primary coupling component and the secondary coupling component.
Claims23
A fishing line accessory system for securing fishing accessories to a fishing line, said system comprising:
- (a) a primary coupling component;
- (b) a secondary coupling component coupleable with said primary coupling component, said fishing line being securable between said primary coupling component and said secondary coupling component;
- (c) at least one fishing accessory, said at least one fishing accessory being at least one inflatable fishing accessory;
- (d) at least one of said coupling components having an air path defined therein and a valve positioned within said air path, air being introducible to said at least one inflatable fishing accessory via said valve and air path;
- (e) at least one of the primary coupling component and the secondary coupling component being a male coupling component having a shaft forked to have at least two tines separated by at least one gap;
- and
- (f) at least one other of the primary coupling component and the secondary coupling component being a female coupling component;
- (g) wherein when said male coupling component is at least partially mated with said female coupling component, said at least two tines and said at least one gap are positioned at least partially within said female coupling component.
A fishing line accessory system for securing fishing accessories to a fishing line, said system comprising:
- (a) a primary coupling component;
- (b) a secondary coupling component coupleable with said primary coupling component;
- (c) at least one fishing accessory, said at least one fishing accessory being at least one inflatable fishing accessory;
- (d) at least one of said coupling components having an air path defined therein and a valve positioned within said air path, said valve being a one-way valve through which air can be forced in a single direction, the air being introducible to said at least one inflatable fishing accessory via said valve and air path;
- (e) at least one of the primary coupling component and the secondary coupling component being a male coupling component having a shaft forked to have at least two tines separated by at least one gap;
- and
- (f) at least one other of the primary coupling component and the secondary coupling component being a female coupling component;
- (g) wherein when said male coupling component is at least partially mated with said female coupling component, said at least two tines and said at least one gap are positioned at least partially within said female coupling component.
