Abstract
The disclosure provides various components for a fishing lure. These components include a Hard Bodied Ballast Oscillator (“HBBO”) which oscillates around various axes, an HBB with positive lift that rises during retrieval, and a hook for use in a rigid body which, while being fished, remains at least partially inside the body and reliably pointing upwards, and which, when the fish bites, is at least partially exposed. In some cases multiple components may be connected to each other via a stiff wire and designed to maintain, in the water, a particular orientation of the components relative to each other.
Claims8
A fishing lure comprising a hard body configured to movably receive a hook having a straight end and a curved end, the hard body having:
- a lip;
- and
- a channel extending through the body and into the lip wherein the channel is a narrow channel sized to receive the straight end of a hook and position the hook such that only a portion of the curved end of the hook is exposed until a fish is ensnared;
- and wherein a substantial portion of the hook is hidden within the channel until a fish is ensnared and wherein ensnaring a fish causes the hook to move such that the hook is exposed to a sufficient degree to catch on to the fish.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
