Fishing lure retriever
| Details |
Inventors: Sprague, Michael M.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Rowan; Kurt
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Christensen, O'Connor, Johnson & Kindness
A device for retrieving fishing lures that have become snagged on an underwater obstruction such as a rock or tree stump. The retriever includes a weighted body having a unique system of opposing guideways adapted to slidably engage a fishing line attached to the snagged lure, and a unique trap section at its forward end. The guideways are formed entirely by converging walls of the body and are interconnected by cross slots. The trap section includes a plurality of staggered hooks of varying length which extend forward from the body and are intended to engage some portion, especially the eye, of the snagged lure. After the lure is captured by the retriever, both may be recovered by means of a retrieve line attached to the retriever body which has a considerably higher tensile strength than the fishing line. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1.
A fishing lure retriever comprising: a weighted body, including engaging means for slidably engaging a fishing line attached to the lure, said engaging means defining an axis with respect to the body, said body including an elongate upper portion and ballast for providing a center of gravity beneath said axis between the ends of the weighted body; and a plurality of trap hooks of varying lengths, fixedly projecting from the body and radially disposed about the axis and defining a channel of hooks that is located about the axis.
2.
The fishing lure retriever of claim 1, wherein the ballast extends along the underside of said elongated upper portion.
3.
The fishing lure retriever of claim 1, further comprising a trap sheath extending forward from the body beyond the hooks and partially surrounding them.
4.
The fishing lure retriever of claim 1, further comprising: means for recovering the retriever including a line attached to the body and having a higher tensile strength than the fishing line.
5.
The retriever of claim 1, wherein the engaging means includes opposing guideways formed by converging walls of said body, oriented along and overlapping said axis, and interconnected by meanss of cross slots.
6.
The fishing lure retriever of claim 1, wherein the first and second plurality of trap hooks fixedly project to varying lengths from the body.
7.
A fishing lure retriever comprising: a weighted body, including engaging means for slidably engaging a fishing line attached to the lure, said engaging means defining an axis with respect to the body, said body including an elongate upper portion and ballast for providing a center of gravity beneath said axis between the ends of the weighted body; and a plurality of trap hooks, fixedly projecting to varying lengths from the body and radially disposed about the axis and defining a channel of hooks that is located about the axis
