Abstract
A combination of weights for fishing while using a casting reel with a rig attached to a fishing line relies upon a first sinker lifter having a forward streamlined surface shape, an internal bore through which the fishing line can be threaded and a rear cavity and a second sinker weight having a second internal bore through which the fishing line can be threaded and can be held within the rear cavity of the sinker lifter, the sinker lifter having a specific gravity greater than, but approximately, 1.0 while the sinker weight has a specific gravity substantially greater than 1.0.
Claims15
A rig for use with a fishing line, comprising:
- a hook;
- a leader line connected at a hook end to the hook;
- a swivel connected at one end to a leader end of the leader line and at its other end to the fishing line;
- a sinker weight movably threaded to the fishing line;
- and
- a sinker lifter movably threaded to the fishing line;
- wherein the sinker weight is located between the leader and the sinker lifter;
- wherein the sinker lifter has a first specific gravity greater than, but approximately, 1.0, such that the sinker lifter will sink when the rig is cast and allowed to sink to the bottom surface but will lift off the bottom surface when the fishing line is retrieved;
- wherein the sinker weight has a second specific gravity greater than the first specific gravity so that it will sink faster than the sinker lifter in a body of water;
- and
- wherein the sinker lifter and the sinker weight are independently movable on the fishing line such that they each can sink apart from each other on the fishing line in the body of water.
A fishing rig, comprising:
- a hook;
- a fishing line;
- a leader line connected to the hook;
- a swivel connected at one end to the leader line and at its other end to the fishing line;
- and
- a two piece weight system movably threaded to the fishing line;
- wherein the two piece weight system is comprised of a first sinker weight and a second sinker lifter each of which has an internal bore through which it is independently threaded to the fishing line before the swivel is connected to the fishing line, the sinker weight being threaded to the fishing line between the sinker lifter and the swivel, the sinker weight having a specific gravity substantially greater than the sinker lifter, the sinker lifter having a specific gravity greater than, but approximately, 1.0, and both the sinker weight and the sinker lifter being independently movable on the fishing line.
