Abstract
Disclosed herein are a fishing lure and method of assembly thereof. Specifically, embodiments of a fishing lure are disclosed that include a head portion and a tail portion that are couplable to form a bait chamber. The fishing lure is attachable to a leader via a passage formed by the fishing lure that remains within the chamber from a first hole formed in the head portion to a second hole formed in the tail portion. The second hole is formed in a surface of the tail portion that is closer to the first hole of the head portion than a second end surface of the tail portion.
Claims19
A fishing lure comprising:
- a head portion including a first end surface and a first tubular sidewall extending away from the first end surface;
- and
- a tail portion including a second end surface and a second tubular sidewall extending away from the second end surface,
- wherein the head portion is selectively couplable to the tail portion to form a closed configuration in which the head portion and the tail portion cooperatively form a lure chamber,
- wherein the fishing lure in the closed configuration defines a passage that enters the lure chamber through a first hole formed in the first end surface and exits the lure chamber through a second hole formed in the tail portion, and an entirety of the passage between the first hole and the second hole remains within the lure chamber, and
- wherein when in the closed configuration the second hole is closer to the head portion than the second hole is to the second end surface.
A method of assembling a fishing lure, the method comprising:
- passing a leader through a first hole formed in a first surface of a head portion of the fishing lure;
- passing the leader through a second hole formed in a second surface of a tail portion of the fishing lure;
- moving at least one of the head portion and the tail portion relative to the other of the head portion and the tail portion in a singular, linear direction, while the leader extends through both the first hole and the second hole, to form a chamber defined by and enclosed within the head portion and the tail portion;
- enclosing a portion of the leader within the chamber such that an entirety of a length of the leader between the first hole and the second hole is within the chamber;
- and
- securing the leader to the fishing lure such that the leader is devoid of a portion outside the chamber between portions of the leader that are inside the chamber.
