Abstract
Described herein is a fishing flasher. The fishing flasher may comprise a main body portion which may comprise a passage. A fin may extend from a surface of the main body portion proximate to the trailing end of the main body portion. The fishing flasher may also comprise a removable panel which is sized and shaped to fit within the passage and may be held within the passage by at least one fastener. It is also described herein a fishing flasher kit comprising a main body portion comprising a passage, a fin, and a plurality of removable panels. Each removable panel may have a different surface feature on one or both of the first surface and/or the second surface.
Claims18
A fishing flasher (10) comprising:
- a main body portion (100) extending in a body plane along a body longitudinal axis (105) from a body leading end (110) to a body trailing end (120) opposite the body leading end, said main body portion comprising a body first surface (130), a body second surface (140) opposite the body first surface, at least one passage (150) extending from the body first surface through the body plane and the body second surface, a first attachment hole (160) located proximate to the body leading end, and a second attachment hole (170) located proximate to the body trailing end;
- a removable panel (200) extending in a panel plane along a panel longitudinal axis (205) from a panel leading end (210) to a panel trailing end (220) opposite the panel leading end, said removable panel comprising a panel first surface (230), and a panel second surface (240) opposite the panel first surface;
- and
- a fin (300) extending from the body second surface proximate to the body trailing end;
- and
- wherein the removable panel is sized and shaped to fit within the passage;
- wherein the removable panel is held within the passage by at least one fastener (400);
- wherein at least a portion of the panel first surface comprises a first surface feature and/or at least a portion of the panel second surface comprise a second surface feature;
- and
- wherein the at least one fastener comprises a first tab (410) pivotably connected to the main body portion by a first screw (415), and a second tab (420) pivotably connected to the main body portion by a second screw (425).
