Improvements in mounts for Spinning Natural Fish Baits.
I WILLIAM HAYNES of No. 63 Patrick Street Cork in the County of Cork Fishing
Tackle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has reference to spinning fish baits in which a natural bait is employed
and consits of the arrangement or combination of parts of the mounts of the said
baits hereinafter described whereby the natural bait is securely fixed in the desired.
position on the needle of the mount.
To the head of the needle (which needle is passed down the throat of the natural
bait) I attach the fins or spinners by which the rotation or spinning of the bait is
produced when the said bait is drawn through water. But instead of making the
said fins or spinners of one piece of bent sheet metal rigidly fixed to the head of the
needle I make the two fins or spinners of separate pieces of sheet metal and I attach
them to the head of the needle by an eyelet fastening so that they can turn upon the
head of the needle as a centre and be moved independently of each other. On that edge
of each fin or spinner which is towards the bait I form a spike or pointed projection.
in the same plane as the arm of the fin but nearly at right angles to the edge on
which it is formed. The eyelet joint described works with considerable stiffness so
that the fins or spinners retain with considerable force the position to which they may
have been brought. The needle carrying the bait is attached to the line by a swivel
engaging in the hole in the eyelet. I prefer to use that kind of swivel called the
watch spring swivel.
In using a spinning bait having a mount made according to my invention the fins
or spinners are turned back that is away from the needle and the needle is passed
down the throat of the bait in the usual way. The fins or spinners are then turned
inwards that is towards the head of the bait the spikes or pointed projections on the
arms of the fins or spinners are thereby made to enter the sides of the head of the bait
which is thus fixed in position.

Improvements in Mounts for Spinning Natural Fish Baits.
"
I WILLIAM HAYNES of 63 Patrick Street Cork in the County of Cork Fishing
Tackle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed; to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
My invention has reference. to spinning fish baits in which a natural or artificial
bait is employed, and consists of the arrangement or combination of parts of the
mounts of the said baits hereinafter described whereby the natural or artificial bait is
securely fixed in the desired position on the needle of the mount.
But
To the head of the needle A (which needle is passed down the throat of the natural
bait) I attach the fins or spinners B. B by which the rotation or spinning of the bait
is produced when the said natural or artificial bait is drawn through water.
instead of making the said fins or spinners of one piece of bent sheet metal rigidly
fixed to the head of the needle I make the two fins or spinners of separate pieces of
sheet metal and I attach them to the head of the needle by an eyelet fastening (so
that they can turn upon the head of the needle as a centre and be moved independently
of each other. On that edge of each fin or spinner which is towards the bait I form
a barbed spike D or pointed projection E in the same plane as the arm of the fin but
nearly at right angles to the edge on which it is formed. The eyelet joint described
works with considerable stiffness so that the fins or spinners retain with considerable
force the position to which they may have been brought. The needle carrying the
bait is attached to the line by a swivel engaging in the hole in the eyelet I prefer to
use that kind of swivel called the watch spring swivel.
In using a spinning bait having a mount made according to my invention the fins
or spinners are turned back that is away from the needle and the needle is passed
down the throat of the bait in the usual way. The fins or spinners are then turned or
pressed inwards that is towards the head of the bait the barbed spikes or pointed
projections on the arms of the fins or spinners are thereby made to enter the sides of
the head of the bait which is thus fixed in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to bo performed I declare that what I
claim as my invention of "Improvements in mounts for spinning natural fish baits"
1. A needle at the head of which and upon the eye two fins or spinners are fastened
by means of an eyelet fastening.
2. The two fins or spinners have a barbed spike or pointed projection on the edge
of each fin or spinner which is towards the needle.
3. The two fins or spinners work stiffly upon the head of the needle substantially
in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
Dated this 3rd day of March Eighteen hundred and Eighty eight.
WILLIAM HAYNES.
