Abstract:
A soft artificial fishing bait having two flexible front intersecting planes, which provide an up and down motion. The flexible blades bend back, when contacting an impediment, allowing the lure to flip over or around the obstruction. Two-blade interchangeable lure can be attached to a tandem hook or a flat blade hook accessory, a part of the invention, which I call a “Hookmaster”. A Pin Weight or a Pin Float, also of the invention, is often necessary to balance different lure shapes and sizes to insure maximum lure oscillation. A separate specially bent stainless steel wire weed guard is inserted into the soft bait body with loop end engaged, under tension, with hook barb to reduce possibility of hook becoming fouled. The top exterior angled portion of wire guard is flexed downwardly to retain tension so loop end portion will surround hook barb, so that lure can be fished in cover. Proper insertion of bait and pin weight or weights will make a single bladed lure oscillate in a pulsing up and down fish attracting action. Attached removable blades allow tandem hooks or “Hookmasters” to exhibit action to both live and artificial baits.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE  
         [0001]    Applicant(s) hereby incorporate herein by reference, any and all U.S. patents, U.S. patent applications, and other documents and printed matter cited or referred to in this application.  
         FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
         [0002]    This invention relates generally to live or soft artificial fishing baits and lures that have fish enticing movements and can be fished successfully in reeds, brush, rocks and other obstructions, where the fish live and feed. The invention also relates to the shape and location of the two flexible or rigid planes that causes lures to exhibit a unique fish enticing up and down, frog like, pulsating action. The invention also relates to the physical properties, as too how they float and sink as they are pulled through the water.  
         DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM  
         [0003]    The critical lure balance point of up and down lures is provided by the location of the fish line snap hole in Hookmaster at rear of large hole in front portion on vertical centerline of lure having double blades. Special Pin Weights and Pin Floats can be inserted or removed from bait body at will. Conventional soft artificial baits exhibit little if any action. In order to make conventional soft artificial baits and live baits be more appealing to the fish, some type of enticing action is necessary.  
         DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART  
         [0004]    Carnivorous fish eat frogs, shrimp, and other live food that move in an up and down pulsating movement. There is a need for a lure that simulates the shape and action of this natural forage. The subject of this invention has provided both characteristics by providing a soft artificial fishing lure, having two flexible planes, which form lips on the anterior end that intersect at a horizontal angle between 75 degrees and 105 degrees, which provide up and down pulsating action. Some conventional soft baits have a small amount of flutter or no fish enticing action at all, especially an up and down pulsating action. A two-bladed accessory of the invention, permanently attached to a two hook tandem hook or Hook Apparatus with a live or soft artificial frog impaled on the top hook portion exhibits an up and down pulsating action. A weight or float permanently molded or bonded on the blunt end of a straight pin, is selectively inserted into the bait to aid in controlling the attitude of a live or soft artificial bait as it floats, sinks, trolled or retrieved after a cast. A barb is formed on some pin Weights and Pin Floats to insure said weights and floats are not dislodged from the bait, due to the thrashing of a fish, or when bumping into reeds, brush, or other obstructions. Soft bait is made snag proof with specially bent separate optional stainless steel wire weed guard, inserted through bait soft body. Said guard extends rearwardly and is flexed to surround and protect the hook barb from becoming impaled on unwanted obstructions in the water. Flexible single and rigid diving blades permanently affixed to tandem hooks or Hookmasters, along with a wire weed guard provide optimal fishing in impediment filled water. Permanently attached removable interchangeable rigid single diving lips are generally used in impediment free water. Flexible and rigid, replaceable interchangeable, single diving lips attached to a two hook tandem hook or a Hook Apparatus will make impaled live and soft artificial baits oscillate side to side, aid lips are selectively inserted, as to the kind and amount of obstacles in the water. Modifications of two-hook tandem hook attached to a removable interchangeable two-bladed accessory, will make correctly impaled live or soft artificial bait, such as frogs, oscillate up and down. A Pin Weight or Pin Float inserted into the side of attached soft bait on a two-bladed lure will cause lure to rotate 90 degrees and will then exhibit a side-to-side oscillation.  
           [0005]    The following art defines the present state of this field.  
           [0006]    Bray, Alan V. U.S. Pat. No. 6,948,379 “High Density Composite Materials”, teaches that Tungsten in various percentages and micron sizes is one of the many acceptable materials as a substitute for toxic lead fishing weights. Zirconium Silicate included in this invention has a lower specific gravity than tungsten, so size of fishing weight must be of larger. Peterson,  
           [0007]    Lyle M. U.S. Pat. No. 6,164,006 “Fishing Lure With Interchangeable Tail” is an interesting and practical fishing lure concept, however, the lure activating bill is probably rigid, therefore, is not snag proof as would be a lure with a flexible lip, so is restricted to obstacle free water.  
           [0008]    Itoh, Koichi U.S. Pat. No. 5,566,498 “Mechanism for Moving and Holding Balance Weight in Lure”, teaches that weight is adjusted in lure by moving weight along a guide. This moveable weight aids in angle of lure descent and keeps the lure running upright. The weight cannot make it oscillate partially on its side, to simulate the motion of an injured baitfish. Pin weights or Pin Floats, optionally inserted in lure body, change attitude of lure as it sinks or, when pulled through water.  
           [0009]    Trnka, Barry U.S. Pat. No. 5,134,799 “Fishing Lure”, consists of. one or more ball or pellet weights in passages, held in place by friction to effectively simulate bait fish swimming movements. These weights are restricted to the area inside tubes and are limited as to their versatility. The Pin Float of the invention is inserted most anywhere on the soft artificial bait body to develop maximum action. Both Pin Weights and Pin Floats can be inserted in the same bait body. A worm could be made to stand on end by inserting a Pin Float in the front end and inserting a Pin Weight on the opposing end.  
           [0010]    Rinkor, David E. U.S. Pat. No. 5,531,042 “Fishing Sinker Having Adjustable Weights”, explains that different weight fishing sinkers are necessary for different fishing conditions. The weight is connected to the fishing line, which have little or no affect on lure action, only the depth of the lure.  
           [0011]    Gardner, John Christopher, U.S. Pat. No. 5,786,416 “High Specific Gravity Material,” describes at least one thermoplastic polymer component and matrix particles of high specific gravity weight of greater than one, in the range of eight to twelve, however there was no mention of placing this weight on a versatile pin and inserting it into a soft lure body.  
           [0012]    Rudolph, John H., U.S. Pat. No. 6,141,900, “Flexible Oscillating Fishing Lure System,” contains lure with flexible diving lip, a tandem two hook fish hook, and adjustable hook weights that attach to hook shank. A two hook tandem hook with either flexible or rigid activating lip, or a double lip permanently attached, provides side to side or up and down oscillation and also provides the option of fishing with either live or artificial bait. The Patent makes no reference to a two hook tandem hook having flexible or rigid diving lips permanently attached to said hook, to create a side to side or up and down oscillation and to have said lips removable and be interchangeable. The Patent did not include a double lipped or bladed lure having an up and down pulsating action. The adjustable hook weights do keep the lure from spinning, as it is being trolled or retriever. The close cell foam insert in said patented bait, does help the lure to float or run higher in the water, but is limited to one hole in anterior end to determine what the lure can do. Both Pin Floats and the Pin Weights of the invention are more versatile to make a lure run in the desired manner. One or more Pin Floats or Pin Weights can be inserted into all parts of the bait body to create different movements at different depths  
           [0013]    Eckenroth, Kevin R. U.S. Pat. No. 6,129,620, “Adjustable Buoyancy Fishing Float.” consists of an air chamber formed with convoluted bellows tube. Shaft glides at top and bottom of each tube. This float is typical of floats that are used on fishing line, not on the lure. There is no way to use this float on the bait of lure. There is no comparison between this buoyant float and the micro-balloon, close cell foam, and ground cork filled epoxy, Pin Float of the invention.  
           [0014]    Rayburn, Walter U.S. Pat. No. 4,696,1125 “Casting Float With Line Stop,” is also a buoyant float with water filling means to add weight for better casting against the wind. It too has no affect on the lure as it moves through the water.  
           [0015]    Huddleston, Samuel M. U.S. Pat. No. 6,212,818 “Soft Bait Fish Lure,” describes a soft bait fish, having front end portion of hard material with a weight molded inside. Weed guard is permanently attached at mid section of lure. Weed guard cannot be removed when fishing in clear water with no obstructions. A Hardheaded lure has a hard non-flexible diving lip, therefore, cannot be fished in cover, as a flexible lip of this invention can be fished. The weed guard being fixed cannot be removed without damaging the lure.  
           [0016]    Jilling John U.S. Pat. No. 6,283,485 Method for “Producing Combination Fish Hook and Weed Guard Device,” is described as a weed guard permanently attached to a slot with an adhesive, such as Epoxy, therefore, weed guard must remain on hook, even, when fishing in impediment free water.  
           [0017]    Luz, Robert J. U.S. Pat. No. 4,223,469. “Fishing Lure,” having permanently affixed flat bill portion and a pair of pivotally flat arm portions behind bill portion. Everything about this lure appears to be rigid, which is not obstacle proof, as are flexible baits with one or more flexible activating lips or blades and a weed guarded hook illustrated in this invention.  
           [0018]    Ninomiya, Masaki U.S. Pat. No. 4,761,910 “Artificial Bait Device,” teaches that a weight is located in center portion of lure to aid in casting. The weight shifts during the cast to the posterior end of lure and shifts to a second position as lure is retrieved. The weight is confined to two basic locations, so lure will always have the same action. Pin Weights and Pin Floats of the invention can be inserted in different places in the bait body, which can change the oscillation and the depth the lure is desired to run. Clearly there is a need for such lures with life like fish attracting action, a hook, which will align and hold soft baits, jigs and other flexible lures securely and still be relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0019]    To help solve the above stated problems an interchangeable flexible or rigid two-bladed accessory was developed. The front surface planes of the two lips intersect to form an angle between 75 degrees and 105 degrees, Approximately 90 degrees being preferred. Said double-lipped accessory is attached to a two-hook tandem hook or a Hook Apparatus on which the various baits are impaled. Fishing weights are generally attached to the line or molded on the front of a hook, which has very little or no affect as to promoting action to the lure, therefore, a unique weight or float concept was developed. They are molded on the blunt end of a straight pin, which is inserted into a specific portion of alive or soft artificial bait to change lure balance point and to produce the maximum fish enticing action. Straight pin may be bent for specific applications and may have a barb. Many fish feed along the shoreline, which is generally encumbered with reeds, brush, and rocks that foul and impede the natural motion of a conventional lure with rigid blade. Flexible blades bend backward and allow the lure to flip over or around the impediment and with the addition of a specially bent, optional, independent weed guard, the lure can be made relatively snag proof. Weed guard is properly inserted into bait body, when the top angled portion is flexed and under tension and loop is secure over hook barb. This position makes the lure virtually snag-proof. Wires extending through lure bottom surface are bent to the rear parallel to the bottom surface, to keep wire guard aligned and secure over hook barb. Single flexible or rigid diving lips are permanently attached to tandem hook and Hookmaster. Interchangeable single flexible or rigid diving lips having a rear hook-securing flange are optionally attached to tandem hooks and Hookmasters with a cotter pin inserted through a provided hole in side of flange. The above single diving lips or blades cause soft artificial baits to oscillate in a side to side action, however, when bait is properly inserted on a tandem hook or flat blade hook accessory of the invention and a pin weight or pin weights are properly attached, said lure can be made to exhibit a pulsating up and down motion.  
           [0020]    The present invention consists of many interrelated parts, single lipped lures, double bladed lures, Pin Weights, Pin Floats, hooks, both tandem hooks and Hookmaster, Interchangeable double bladed accessories, attached to tandem hooks and Hookmasters, and an optional separate stainless steel spring wire hook weed guard. The lure exhibits two flexible planes interesting at an angle between 75 degrees and 105 degrees at the forward end of the lure. The flexible blades or lips divert the water, so that the lure oscillates in an up and down, frog-like, pulsating action. The flexible planes or lips easily bend on contact with an obstruction, allowing lure to flip over or around impediment. The up and down action is enhanced, when fish line eye on hook or hook apparatus is recessed into a large hole in bait front portion on bait vertical centerline and the intersection of the two intersecting flexible plane. Conventional soft artificial and most live baits move through the water like a straight stick. These baits can be activated, by being impaled on single or double-lipped accessories of the invention. Single diving lips cause lures to oscillate in a side-to-side manner. Double-lipped accessories cause soft artificial baits to move in an up and down action. Interchangeable lip accessories being more versatile are attached or removed from tandem hooks and Hook Apparatus with the same attachment means. The present invention also provides a live or soft artificial bait accessory, which controls the attitude of the bait as it sinks or floats, while being pulled through the water. Said accessory consists of a weighted or buoyant sphere or amorphous shaped material permanently bonded to the blunt end of a straight pin, similar to a sewing pin. The weight or float aids in eliminating unwanted lure spin. Location of Pin Weight inserted near or into the bottom portion of lure determines the attitude and how the lure sinks. Pin Weight inserted at bottom forward surface will sink lure front end first and will have the opposite action, when inserted into rear bottom portion. A Pin Weight properly installed will cause bait to sink more naturally often making little change in lure action More than one Pin Weight can be used to take a lure deeper and faster.  
           [0021]    A Pin Float consists of the same general shapes as a Pin Weight and one or more Pin Floats can be inserted on or near bait top surface to cause a live or soft artificial bait to float or to suspend shallow. A pin weight inserted into the side of a soft two-lipped lure will cause lure to oscillate side to side. A second Pin Weight consists of a pin extending from either end of elongated solid ellipse. Front longer pin is inserted into a slit directed forwardly in soft artificial bait body, the body is stretched so that rear shorter pin can enter slit and insert to rear of slit. As body gets back to natural shape, the weight or float is adjusted to fit into slit properly. The Balance of an up and down oscillating lure is extremely critical. Pin Weights or Pin Floats properly inserted in the bait will insure maximum vertical action. The recent invention teaches certain benefits in construction and use, which gives rise to the objectives described below. A primary objective of the present invention is to provide live or soft artificial bait or lure having advantages not taught by the present art. A further objective is to provide such bait weight or float accessory that can be applied to or concealed within the bait to cause the bait to be snag resistant. Another objective is to cause live or artificial bait to appear more natural as it wiggles, swims, or swishes as it moves through the water. This is accomplished because bait is now correctly balanced. A still further objective is to provide such weight or buoyancy to make a lure or soft artificial bait to move in a predictable manner. A still further objective is to eliminate the weight molded on a conventional lead head fishhook. A Pin Weight is made environmentally friendly by using epoxy filled with Barium Sulfate, Iron Ferrite, or Zirconium Silicate, or can be molded from the generally used toxic weight material, lead. Pin Floats are also environmentally friendly, when molded from Epoxy filled with micro-balloons, or shaped close cell foam or ground cork, permanently bonded to the blunt end of a straight pin. A specially bent stainless steel wire weed guard is optionally inserted into soft fishing bait or lure body, so that loop end of weed guard surrounds hook barb. Exterior wire that extends through lure body is bent to the rear and parallel to the lure bottom surface. Top exposed wires are flexed to put tension on loop end to protect hook barb from snagging unwanted objects. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principals of the invention. Color, shapes, size and action entice fish into striking. Many, conventional, soft artificial baits have little or no action. A flexible or rigid single diving blade or lip was permanently attached to a tandem hook or Hookmaster to provide action to those conventional baits. Easily attached or removed interchangeable diving blades were designed for tandem hooks or Hookmasters to gain more versatility, when fishing soft artificial baits in reeds, brush, rocks and in clear water.  
           [0022]    Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0053]    The described drawings illustrates the invention. A Pin Weight, FIGS.  1 A- 1 H and collectively referred to herein by the numeral  10  and Pin Float referred to by numeral  10   a  and shown in FIGS.  1 I- 1 L show some of the various shapes available. Pin Float  10   a  are used to enhance the bait action to increase the possibilities of catching fish and to gain the satisfaction of using a Pin Weight  10  or a Pin Float  10   a  properly, that you have outsmarted the fish. A Pin Weight  10  is comprised of two parts, a straight pin, similar to a sewing pin, and a weight molded from Epoxy with environmentally friendly fillers of Iron Ferrite, Barium Sulfate, Zirconium Silicate, or other heavy material or from toxic molten metal, such as Lead. A Pin Float  10   a , similar in shape to the Pin Weight  10  in FIG. 1A- 1 H consists of the same straight pin  2  with Epoxy filled with micro balloons, ground cork, close cell foam, or other buoyant materials bonded to pin  2 . Pin Weight  10  is inserted into soft plastic body  30  on the bottom surface  14  behind simultaneously poured flexible single diving lip  12 . Pin Weight  10  at this location will cause lure  30  to dive head first and being forward on the lure bottom surface  14 , lure  30  tail portion  14   a  will exhibit a more active fish enticing side to side action. Optional treble hook  11  is suspended from tandem hook  60  eye  8  with an “O” ring  9 . Fishing lure  40  in FIG. 4 is comprised of a two-hook tandem hook  60 , front line eye  4 , provided for fish line  53  snap  38 . FIGS. 15, 15A,  15 B and  15 C, illustrate a two lipped interchangeable flexible or rigid accessory, having lips  15   a  and  16   a  and a tapered hole  63   a  to recess line hook eye  4  or Hook Apparatus  22  line attachment hole  23 . Flange  33  receives hook shanks  5  and  6   a  and line eye  4 . Hook shanks  5  and  6   a  are held firm by a Cotter pin  52  in hole  29 . FIG. 4 exhibits a Pin Weight  10  inserted through bottom surface  18  of frog shaped bait  40 , which stabilizes bait and keeps it from spinning, when trolling or retrieving a cast. Pin Float  10   a  will make lure  40  ride higher in the water. More Pin Floats  10   a  may make some lures  40  buoyant enough to float. Some Pin Weights  10  and Pin Floats  10   a  are equipped with a barb  67 . FIG. 4 also shows two flexible planes  15  and  16  intersecting forming an angle between 75 degrees and 105 degrees. This angle provides means for water to pass lure  40  and cause controlled water disturbance in order to have an up and down frog like pulsating action. Intersecting flexible planes or blades  15  and  16  contain a large hole  63  at their intersection and bait vertical centerline.
