Patent ID: 7637051

Claim:
An adjustable trolling device, comprising: a rigid primary member having a front substantially planar surface and a back substantially planar surface, and an exterior edge defining the dimension of both the front and back planar surfaces; said primary member having a lead portion and a rearward portion; a rigid secondary member having a substantially planar front surface and a substantially planar back surface, and an exterior edge defining the dimension of both the front and back planar surfaces; said secondary member having at least one raised spline affixed to its front surface extending outwardly and substantially perpendicular to said front surface; said secondary member rotatably affixed to said primary member, with the back surface of the secondary member parallel and adjacent to the front surface of the primary member, about an axis substantially perpendicular to the planar surface of the primary member so that each raised spline extends substantially perpendicular and outwardly from the front planar surface of the primary member; and; the primary member further having a towing-eyelet located outwardly and forward of the exterior edge of the secondary member and one or more eyelets located outwardly and rearward of the exterior edge of the secondary member.
