Example

[0022]A fishing device 100 according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 through 6b of the accompanying drawings. More particularly, a fishing device 100 according to the current invention includes a main casing 110, a main spring 120, and a trigger spring 125.

[0023]The main casing 110 (also referred to herein as “casing”) defines an open interior space 112 and has first and second ends 110a, 110b. The casing 110 may be tubular (as shown in FIGS. 1 through 4b, 6a, and 6b), the casing 110 may define a fishing lure 111 (FIG. 5), or the casing 110 may be of another shape. The first end 110a and / or the second end 110b may be a cap 113, as best shown in FIG. 2, and the casing 110 may define one or more channel 114 adjacent the interior space 112, as best shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b. Though not shown in the drawings, the casing 110 may be understood to have an imaginary center axis extending between the first and second ends 110a, 110b. A primar...

Abstract

A fishing device includes a casing and a main spring positioned therein. A trigger spring is also positioned in the housing and a plate is interconnected to adjacent ends of the two springs. The device includes a primary latch operatively coupled to the casing and movable between a normally restricting configuration that normally holds the main spring in a compressed configuration and a releasing configuration. A latch release member is coupled to the trigger spring and the primary latch for moving the primary latch to the releasing configuration when the trigger spring is extended, say by the strike of a fish on a line coupled thereto. At the releasing configuration, the primary latch allows the main spring to decompress and this action sets a hook in a fish. When extended, the main spring absorbs shocks caused by a fish's movements while being reeled in.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to fishing tackle and, more particularly, to a fishing device for attachment to or incorporation into a fishing lure that assists in setting a hook in a fish's mouth upon sensing a bite and that absorbs shocks caused by a fish's movement so as to decrease the likelihood that the fish will break the fishing line while being reeled in.[0002]Every fisherman knows the frustration of sensing that a fish is nibbling at the bait or lure and then losing the fish when the hook is not set properly. Perhaps the fisherman's tug on the line was too quick, not quick enough, or not with the correct amount of force. Perhaps an even greater frustration is when a big fish is caught but then gets away when the fishing line is broken by the energetic movements of the fish while being reeled in.[0003]Various devices have been proposed in the art for assisting in setting a hook when a fish strikes a lure. Although assumably effective for t...
