Abstract
A hydrodynamic fishing device includes a plate that changes attitude as the plate passes through a body of water. A plate positioning controller is pivotally mounted to the plate and is indexable relative to the plate by direct application of manual force so as to assume a plurality of predetermined adjustment positions. The adjustment positions establish different paths of travel of the plate as the plate passes through a body of water.
Claims10
A hydrodynamic fishing device, comprising:
- a plate for developing vertical pressure with changes in attitude of the plate, as the plate passes through a body of water;
- a plate positioning controller;
- a first connection to which a hook may be connected;
- and
- a second connection to which a trolling line may be connected;
- the plate positioning controller pivotally mounted to the plate about an axis substantially normal to the plate, manually indexable relative to the plate and biased against the plate, but with direct application of manual force the plate positioning controller is movable to a plurality of predetermined adjustment positions that establish different paths of travel of the plate as the plate passes through a body of water.
