Abstract
A fishing lure sheet that includes a portion that, when folded over and joined, results in the obtaining in a fishing lure skin that defines a fishing lure passage for receiving a filament of a fishing device. The fishing lure skin simulates the appearance of an organism.
Claims15
A fishing lure sheet comprising:
- a foldable portion configured for folding onto itself to define a folded portion such that the fishing lure sheet becomes disposed in a folded configuration;
- wherein:
- while the sheet is disposed in the folded configuration:
- the folded portion simulates the appearance of a head of an organism;
- there is an absence of folding of a rear portion of the sheet;
- the folded portion is disposed for becoming joined to itself such that, in response to the joining, a fishing lure skin is obtained, and with effect that a stop and fishing lure passage are established;
- the fishing lure skin is configured for co-operating with a fishing device for establishing a modified fishing device configuration, wherein the fishing device includes a filament and a hook connected to the filament such that the hook translates with the filament;
- and
- in the modified fishing device configuration, a filament of the fishing device extends through the fishing lure passage, and movement of the filament through the fishing lure passage, in one of the directions, is prevented in response to interference between the fishing device and the stop.

A fishing lure sheet comprising:
- a foldable portion configured for folding onto itself to define a folded portion such that the fishing lure sheet becomes disposed in a folded configuration, the foldable portion defining a first joint counterpart and a second joint counterpart;
- and
- an activatable joining medium configured for effecting the joinder of the first and second joint counterparts;
- wherein:
- while the sheet is disposed in the folded configuration:
- the appearance of an organism is simulated by the sheet;
- the first and second joint counterparts are disposed for becoming joined such that, in response to the joining, a fishing lure skin is obtained, with effect that a stop and a fishing lure passage are established;
- the first joint counterpart, the second joint counterpart, and the activatable joining medium are co-operatively configured such that, while the sheet is disposed in the folded configuration and the activatable joining medium has been activated, the first and second joint counterparts are disposed for becoming joined by the joining medium such that, in response to the joining, a fishing lure skin is obtained, with effect that a stop and fishing lure passage are established;
- the fishing lure skin simulates the appearance of an organism;
- the fishing lure skin is configured for co-operating with a fishing device for establishing a modified fishing device configuration, wherein the fishing device includes a filament and a hook connected to the filament such that the hook translates with the filament;
- and
- in the modified fishing device configuration, a filament of the fishing device extends through the fishing lure passage, and movement of the filament through the fishing lure passage, in one of the directions, is prevented in response to interference between the fishing device and the stop.

A kit for assembling a fishing lure for coupling to a fishing lure coupled to a fishing device including a filament, comprising:
- a fishing lure sheet;
- an anchor;
- and
- a fastener;
- wherein:
- the anchor includes a bushing which is mounted to the filament such that:
- (i) the filament is extendible through the bushing, and (ii) the anchor is moveable relative to the filament;
- the fishing lure is configured for folding onto itself to define a folded portion such that the fishing lure sheet becomes disposed in a folded configuration, such that the fishing lure sheet is configurable in a non-folded configuration and is transitionable from the non-folded configuration to the folded configuration in response to folding onto itself;
- in the folded configuration, the fishing lure sheet defines a cavity;
- the fishing lure sheet and the anchor are co-operatively configured such that, while the fishing lure sheet is disposed in the non-folded configuration, the anchor is emplaceable relative to the fishing lure sheet such that transitioning of the fishing lure sheet to the folded configuration is with effect that the anchor becomes disposed within the cavity, such that the fishing lure sheet and the anchor become disposed in a pre-assembly configuration;
- while disposed in the pre-assembly configuration, the fishing lure sheet is fastenable to the anchor with the fastener, such that the fishing lure sheet, the anchor, and the fastener are configured in a fishing lure configuration;
- and
- in the fishing lure configuration, an outermost surface is defined, and the outermost surface simulates the appearance of an organism.
