Abstract
This fishing invention applies a kinetic energy-storing device along a fishing line to provide additional resistance to short-term stress applied to the line when the fish is tugging. The kinetic energy-storing device reduces occurrences of fishing line breakage, allows fishermen to use a lighter fishing line, and creates a means for fishing lures to snap themselves off of undersea objects. This invention, when secured between the fishing line and lure, allows fishermen to change lures without the need to retie the lure. Ultimately, this invention makes it more difficult for a fish to escape once hooked.
Claims2
A fishing apparatus comprising:
- an elastic member;
- a first securing member attached to the elastic member and attachable to a fishing line;
- a second securing member attached to the elastic member, wherein the elastic member slideably connects the first securing member to the second securing member, the second securing member further having a member threaded portion;
- an insert having a hook and an insert threaded portion mateable with the member threaded portion wherein mating the insert threaded portion with the member threaded portion attaches the hook to the elastic member;
- and
- wherein the elastic member is insertable within the insert thereby further protecting the elastic member from the elements.
