Abstract:
1. A fishing hook comprising a hook means, a line attachment means, and an intermediate watertight casing encasing a fixed electrical power source and a free-sliding motor having an activation end slidably alignable with said power source and an opposite end comprising a rotary shaft and an unbalancing counterweight, the casing defining an essentially cylindrical cavity, the motor comprising a micromotor including an essentially cylindrical housing slidably receivable within the cavity, the power source comprising a button cell battery including a trailing activating side having a cylindrical circumference spanning the cavity, whereas sufficient tilting of the cylindrical cavity from the leading-end-up orientation toward the leading-end-down allows the micromotor activating end to slide into activating contact with the trailing activating side of said battery, the activation of said motor causing rotation of said shaft and counterweight and endowing the fishing hook with rotational force, said counterweight rotation also causing said motor to engage in counter-rotation within said casing and endow the fishing hook with counter-rotational force enabling the fishing hook to shun contact from its external environment, said counter-rotation also causing said motor and said counterweight to contact said casing and further endow the fishing hook with differing contact sounds.
