Abstract
A fishing lure system which has removable and interchangable lure bodies on a hook assembly. The hook assembly has a means of attaching the fishing line at one end and for attaching the hook or hooks. At the rear end of the hook assembly on the main body is a raised positive stop lug, which prevents it from sliding through the lure body. The lure body/bodies having a bore extending through the lure body in equal size and length to the main portion of the hook assembly. In addition to the bore a slot is provided from the bore to the bottom of the lure along the length of the lure. The slot being a smaller width than the bore as to provide a passageway for the fishing line to pass through and a passageway for any forward positioned hooks on the hook assembly.
Claims2
A fishing lure comprising of and in combination of
- a. A hook assembly having an elongated shape which within has a means for attaching fishing line or leader at one end, and means of attaching one hook or more hooks to a portion of the hook assembly. And at the opposite end of the hook assembly from the means of fishing line or leader attachment on the main portion of the hook assembly having a raised positive stop lug being larger in size in width than the main portion of the hook assembly and so as to come into contact at the rear of the lure body and prevent passing through the lure body when inserted into the longitudal bore of the lure body.
- b. A fishing lure having an elongated body having a first and second end in combination with having a longitudal bore extending along a linear axis from the first end to the second end in communication within the internal wall surfaces of said lure body providing a longitudal slot generally smaller in width than the longitudal bore and extending from the longitudal bore to the outer surface of the lure body and extending along the linear axis of said lure body from the first end to the second end. With the said longitudal bore being of equal size and shape with said main portion of the hook assembly so when the hook assembly is inserted into the longitudal bore until said raised positive stop lug comes to contact the rear of the lure body being prevented from passing through the longitudal bore of the lure body. The presence of friction from the longitudal bore and the inserted hook assembly being of equal size and shape will secure the combination and form a completed fishing lure to be fished.
