Abstract
A tube weight lure apparatus includes a lure body having a hollow interior cavity. An inner tube extends through the cavity and receives a fishing line therethrough. A weight member is fixedly mounted on the inner tube within the interior cavity in the body. The weight member is in the form of a hollow tube variably positionable along the length of the inner tube. The inner tube is flexible and has a length greater than the length of the body to assume an arcuate shape when the first and second ends of the inner tube are fixed to the body. In this aspect, the weight member is mounted at the valley of the arcuate shape of the inner tube.
Claims22
An artificial lure comprising:
- a body having a hollow interior cavity;
- a hollow weighted tube disposed within the hollow interior cavity of the body;
- an inner tube extending through the weighted tube;
- and
- the body fixedly attached to the inner tube such that a fishing line extending through the inner tube, and supporting the inner tube and weighted tube, is disposed in non-contact with the weighted tube.
An artificial lure comprising:
- a body having a hollow interior cavity;
- a hollow weighted tube disposed within the hollow interior cavity of the body;
- an inner tube extending through the weighted tube;
- the body fixedly attached to the inner tube such that a fishing line extending through the inner tube is disposed in non-contact with the weighted tube;
- the weighted tube fixedly mounted on the inner tube;
- and
- the inner tube has a length greater than the length of the body, the body fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the inner tube to cause the inner tube to assume a non-linear shape in the body.
An artificial lure comprising:
- a body having a hollow interior cavity;
- a hollow weighted tube disposed within the hollow interior cavity of the body;
- an inner tube extending through the weighted tube;
- the body fixedly attached to the inner tube such that a fishing line extending through the inner tube is disposed in non-contact with the weighted tube;
- the weighted tube fixedly mounted on the inner tube;
- the inner tube has a length greater than the length of the body, the body fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the inner tube to cause the inner tube to assume a non-linear shape in the body;
- and
- the inner tube is a flexible tube.
An artificial lure comprising:
- a body having a hollow interior cavity;
- a hollow weighted tube disposed within the hollow interior cavity of the body;
- an inner tube extending through the weighted tube;
- the body fixedly attached to the inner tube such that a fishing line extending through the inner tube is disposed in non-contact with the weighted tube;
- and
- the inner tube has a length greater than the length of the body, the body fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the inner tube to cause the inner tube to assume a non-linear shape in the body.
An artificial lure comprising:
- an inner tube receiving a fishing line therethrough,
- a body having a hollow interior cavity, the inner tube extending through the cavity, the body fixed to the inner tube such that a fishing line ingresses into a first end of the inner tube, extends through the inner tube, and egresses out of a second end of the inner tube, the line is disposed in non-contact with a weight member;
- and
- the weight member smaller than the interior cavity fixedly mounted on the inner tube within the cavity in the body.
