Abstract
A fishing lure can have a bait compartment and a slidable lid. The slidable lid can be moved back and forth in a single dimension between an open position and a closed position when a user applies force to the lid in the single dimension. A ball detent can hold the lid in the closed position, and the ball detent can be overcome to open the lid through the application of force in the single dimension.
Claims12
A fishing lure comprising:
- a slidable lid, the lid movable between an open position and a closed position, the lid partially defining a bait compartment when the lid is in a closed position;
- and
- a lure body, the lure body further comprising a cavity, the cavity partially defining the bait compartment;
- a backstop configured to bound the movement of the slidable lid in a distal direction;
- and
- a frontstop configured to bound the movement of the slidable lid in the proximal direction, thereby bounding the movement of the slidable lid to a fixed region in one dimension, preventing the slidable lid from separating from the lure body.
