    摘要: Hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus for use with trolling techniques behind a boat. In one embodiment, the hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus includes an artificial lure having a body. A hydrofoil that includes a strut and a lifting surface, with the strut for the hydrofoil being attached to the body of the artificial lure is also included. In some variants, the artificial lure may be modeled after flying fish species. Wing retraction elements may be utilized on the hydrofoil to retract or expand the wings of the flying fish to provide for a more natural presentation. Other variants described herein include fishing lure platforms that include a hydrofoil that allow for the mounting of frozen, live, or other types of artificial baits on the hydrofoil itself.

    摘要: A directional guide for a spreader bar includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body and are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. Grooves are formed in the body. The grooves include a first groove extending along the longitudinal axis of the body, a second groove crossing the first groove and a third groove crossing the first groove. A keel is rotatably coupled to the body. The keel is configured to rotate between the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove. The keel is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.

    摘要: One aspect of the disclosure includes a float fishing apparatus having an elongated connecting member and a float. The float has a body portion with a forward end and a rearward end. The body portion has an opening extending therethrough with the connecting member passing slidably through the opening. The body portion is rotatably mounted on the connecting member. The float has a fin member extending from the body portion. The fin member has a leading edge and a spaced trailing edge with a pressure surface extending therebetween. The pressure surface of the fin member responds to water pressure when the float is moved through water to rotate the float and intermittently splash the water. In some forms the fin member extends around only a portion of the body portion of the float such that the float has an asymmetrical shape.

    摘要: A line management system for an outrigger structure is provided for guiding outrigger cords through cord passages to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement in order to prevent entanglement. The system includes a plurality of outrigger cords, cord management units, and retention devices. The plurality of cord management units are coupled to the outrigger structure and are longitudinally spaced one from the other along the outrigger structure. Each of the cord management units defines a plurality of transversely offset cord passages respectively guiding predetermined ones of outrigger cords to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement relative to the outrigger structure.

    摘要: Various planer boards are provided that include a body having a tapered leading end, a guiding assembly located at a trailing end of the body, and a gripping assembly extending away from a front surface of the body. The planer boards may be securely attached to a fishing line via the guiding assembly and the gripping assembly in order to bias the line to one side when the planer board is moved through water. To allow a user quickly and easily attach/remove a fishing line, the planer board may include a single-release actuator that opens only the gripping assembly and a dual-release actuator that simultaneously releases both the guiding assembly and the gripping assembly.

    摘要: A fish attractant spreader device includes a center bar running lengthwise from a back end to a front end and a spreader bar attached to the center bar and extending lengthwise non-parallel with the center bar. The device includes a front line attachment at the front of the center bar, a back line attachment at the back of the center bar, and at least one fish attractant attachment on the spreader bar. A fish attractant such as a dodger or flasher may be attached to the attractant attachment on the spreader bar. A release clip may be attached to the back line attachment of the center bar for providing temporary attachment to a fishing line and a downrigger stacker clip may be connected to the front line attachment of the center bar for attachment to a downrigger line. The spreader bar and the center bar may form a cross shape.

    摘要: A mechanical planer board that is arranged for use on both the right and left sides of a towing boat and is further adapted to move from a boat side position to a boat rear position upon a fish strike. The planer board includes a body having a housing, a float, an internal assembly, and at least one line clip having a tow arm. The tow arm maintains the line clip in towing configuration until a fish strike pulls a trigger pin to release the tow arm thereby allowing it to swing and lock in a forward position. The board may further include an indicator device to alert the fisher of board location.

    摘要: The inventors disclose and teach herein a device that quickly and reliably attaches rigging to a fishing line, especially trolling lines. The device includes a spring-loaded clip with means for attaching additional accessories to the clip, such as weights. Accordingly, in the context of trolling, a trolling depth can be set and readjusted rapidly simply by clipping different weights onto the line. Moreover, the clip includes a side-opening for receiving a fishing line in compression between a spring-loaded plunger and anvil. The line is further secured by an embossed retainer blocking the line from slipping out from between the plunger and anvil.
