Abstract
A bead-shaped fishing lure is provided that can easily be secured to a fishing line while a hook is attached to the line. The lure includes a body and cap, where the cap includes a protrusion and the body has a corresponding hole, where the cap and body can be affixed to one another by inserting the protrusion into the hole to yield a spherical or spheroidal shape. A channel along the length of either the body or the protrusion receives the fishing line such that the lure is affixed to the fishing line by friction to inhibit motion of the lure along the fishing line when the cap and body are secured together. The cap can be affixed to the body using screw threads, friction, or pegs on the protrusion that rotate into recesses at the bottom of the hole. The fishing lure can be made from plastic, metal, rubber, polymer, and the like.
Claims15
A fishing lure, comprising:
- a body and a cap;
- wherein the cap comprises a protrusion and the body comprises a corresponding hole, such that the cap can be affixed to the body by inserting the protrusion into the hole to yield a shape of the lure that is at least one of spherical, spheroidal, or ovoidal,
- wherein the body comprises a channel configured to receive a length of a fishing line,
- wherein the channel extends across a full length of the body,
- wherein the hole and the channel have the same depth,
- wherein the hole is wider than the channel, and
- wherein, when the cap is affixed to the body, the lure is secured to at least a portion of the length of the fishing line within the channel by frictional forces to inhibit motion of the lure along the fishing line.
A fishing lure, comprising:
- a body and a cap;
- wherein the body comprises a channel extending across a full length of a first surface thereof that is configured to receive a length of fishing line, and further comprises a hole in a center of the first surface that is wider than a width of the channel;
- wherein the hole and the channel have the same depth;
- wherein the cap comprises a second surface and a protrusion extending from a center of the second surface that has a size and shape that are the same size and shape as the hole;
- wherein the cap is configured to be affixed to the body by inserting the protrusion into the hole;
- wherein the first surface and the second surface align when the cap is affixed to the body to yield a shape of the lure that is at least one of spherical, spheroidal, or ovoidal;
- and
- wherein, when the length of fishing line is provided within the channel, an end of the protrusion presses the length of fishing line against a bottom of the channel to secure the lure to the length of fishing line and inhibit motion of the lure along the length of fishing line.
