Abstract:
1. A substantially snag-proof swim bait device comprising: a polymeric body region having a collar region, a middle region, and a tail region, the polymeric body region being configured from a volume of plyable polymeric material, the polymeric body region having a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion being configured as a belly portion of the swim bait; an oversized head configured to the collar region, the oversized head having a width of at least two times greater than a middle width of the middle region, the oversized head having a height of at least two times greater than a middle height of the middle region; a horizontal line region extending from a tip of the oversized head to an end of the tail region, the horizontal line region being configured as a centerline from the tip to the end of the tail region; a line through region configured from a vicinity of the tip of the oversized head through a portion of the polymeric body region and exiting near a vicinity of a top portion of the polymeric body region, the line through region being spatially positioned at an angle from about 35 degrees to about 45 degrees relative to the horizontal line region as measured in a counter-clockwise manner as viewed from a left side of the swim bait, the left side of the swim bait determined when the oversized head faces away from a viewer, while an other side opposing the left side of the swim bait is a right side of the swim bait; a line configured through the line through region and terminating at a hook configured on an outer region of the top portion of the polymeric body region, the line being capable of sliding through the line through region once a fish is hooked to allow the hook to spatially separate from the polymeric body region configured from the volume of plyable polymeric material, the line being capable of remaining substantially motionless when the hook is partially embedded on the outer region of the top portion of the polymeric body region; a first weight member embedded within the bottom portion, the first weight member being insertable into a cavity region of the bottom portion; and a second weight member embedded within the oversized head and spatially separate from the first weight member, wherein the hook comprises a first prong embedded on the outer region of the top portion, while exposing a second prong and a third prong configured in a forward direction, the second prong and the third prong having a gap between them, the gap being about the width of the oversized head such that the width of the oversized head substantially shields the second prong and the third prong from a weed during retrieve of the swim bait.
