The invention relates to a method for adjusting the buoyancy of a fishing bobber. The method includes providing a buoyant member and a stem guide configured to receive the buoyant member, mounting the buoyant member to the stem guide and cutting the buoyant member. The buoyant member is made of a material capable of being severed by a cutting device and having first length, a lower end, and an upper end. The stem guide receives the buoyant member and a fishing line with fishing tackle. The buoyant member is cut such that the buoyant member has a second length shorter than the first length. The buoyant member is cut to a second length such that the buoyancy of the buoyant member when cut to a second length is enough to oppose the tendency of the stem guide and fishing tackle to submerse the buoyant member such that a top surface of the cut buoyant member is adjacent to the surface of the water when the stem guide, buoyant member, fishing line and any fishing tackle are placed in the water.

An connection apparatus for fishing tackle that is adapted to allow the securement of the apparatus to a fishing line by the half-hitch, overhand knot or any other low dexterity knot through the use of at least one dual conical bores passing through the body of the apparatus. The apparatus generally incorporates another fishing tackle article such as a hook or split ring but can also be utilized alone when made of a suitable floating material. The configuration of the dual conical bores in relation to each other and in relation to the linear axis of the apparatus, lends itself to different purposes and different methods of securing different fishing tackle articles to the connection apparatus. With the use of a simple linear connector, two connection apparatuses may be adjoined to allow fishing lines of different sizes to be connected.

A fish hook allows quick connection/disconnection to a fishing lure. A loop is formed and a tag portion extends beyond the contact point of the loop. The tag portion is inserted though a ring of a fishing lure. The contact point of the loop is sprung apart as the ring is slid onto the loop. When the ring is past the contact point the loop ‘snaps’ back into contact. In a second embodiment two opposing ‘j’ hooks are aligned forming an eye of the fish hook. A user applies force on the shafts supporting the ‘j’ hooks causing the two ‘j’ hooks to move in opposing directions and exposing the ends of the ‘j’ hooks. An end of one of the ‘j’ hooks is then inserted through a ring of a fishing lure. The ring is slid onto a shaft and the force released on the shafts released.

Particular aspects provide devices and methods for adjustably and reversibly engaging a line (e.g., fishing lines, ropes, string, cable, wire, cords) at an engagement position and/or for demarcating positions/spans along a line. The inventive line-stop members are reversibly disengagable, and thereby slidably adjustable and positionable along a line, and can be used to define a user-selectable range or span. Particular embodiments comprise: an elongated line-clamping member having at least one pair of line-clamping arms and having a longitudinal axial bore suitable to allow slidable passage of a line therethrough; and a cylindrical engagement collar having a collar channel therethrough and slidably positionable along the line-clamping member, and suitable and positionable to reversibly hold the line-clamping member in a line-clamping/engagement position, and suitable and positionable to reversibly disengage the line-clamping member from the line-clamping position to reversibly disengage a line. Preferred line-stop embodiments comprise an accessory attachment member or collar.

A new line attachment which is easily removed and attached to a fishing line. The attachment body features a longitudinal bore and slot through which a bushing and fishing line can be inserted. The bushing also features a longitudinal bore and slot through which a fishing line can be fed. The longitudinal bore and slot in the bushing also enable the bushing to be compressed to fit securely into the body of the attachment body, thereby preventing the attachment body and bushing assembly from becoming unintentionally separated from the fishing line. The preferred embodiment of the invention further comprises a rib on the outside surface of the bushing that prevents rotational movement of the bushing vis-à-vis the attachment body.

A jig for tying Bimini twists has two fishing line sections. The first section, which extends from the second section, has clip attachments near its end for retaining the fishing line to be tied. Similarly, the second section has a clip attachment near its end also, for retaining the fishing line. The second section also has outwardly extending arm members, slotted at their ends and held in position by a spring which creates a compressive force within the second section. An adjustable nut and bolt against which the spring provides the compressive force, is used to adjustably move the arms inward and outward in relation to the second section. While the jig can be constructed as one unitary member with first and second sections, it is contemplated that the sections would be separable and that the first section would extend out of the second section. Additionally, a fishing line extension component is provided for tying Bimini twists for larger loops. The extension is stored within the first and second sections when not in use.
摘要:
A hand held device for joining monofilament lines together. Then device has a set of clamping jaws that can be manipulated so as to firmly position the monofilament lines in an abutting relationship in physical contact to each other. The device includes a source of electrical power and a heater, such as resistance, RF energy or ultrasonic energy, to heat the monofilament lines to a temperature exceeding the melting temperature of the monofilament lines so as to weld the monofilament lines together. A sleeve may be slipped over the monofilament lines and welded to the lines to form a more stable junction.
摘要:
A novel design for a fishing lure which makes for easy attachment to and detachment from a fishing line. The lure is preferably made with a resilient material which tends to return to its original closed shape after manual manipulation to insert a fishing line into a slit in the lure. In a second embodiment, a substantially helical slot is provided in the lure for frictional attachment to a fishing line. In another embodiment, a substantially linear slot is provided through the lure for passage therethrough of a fishing line, and the lure is provided with helical spring shaped line guides for encircling and thereby attaching the lure to the fishing line.
