Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/654,825 filed Sep. 4, 2003, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, which claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/407,807 filed Sep. 4, 2002.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to fishing lures and more particularly, to specially designed fish hooks, each having a low profile, double-tapered weight on the hook shank for use with flexible plastic fishing lures. These lures are impaled on an offset shank and reverse shank bend of the fish hooks, such that the tip and barb of the fish hooks may be embedded in or positioned against the plastic fishing lures to render the lures weedless for retrieval in a waterbody using a rod and reel. According to one embodiment, a low profile, double-tapered weight is applied to a straight shank of a fish hook to facilitate passage of the weight through the impaled lure with minimum lure damage during rigging and sinking of the hook and impaled lure to a desired depth determined by the lure design and speed of retrieval of the lure. According to another embodiment, a low profile, double-tapered weight is applied to a curved shank of a fish hook, and the hook is adapted for partial embedment in a flexible plastic fishing lure to achieve the same result.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- One of the most effective lures in taking game fish, including the fresh water variety such as large mouth and small mouth bass, crappie and the like, as well as saltwater varieties, including red fish, speckled trout and similar fish, is the flexible plastic lure which can be molded in substantially any desired size, shape, color and consistency. A popular technique for retrieving plastic fishing lures at a desired depth in a waterbody is to embed a hook in the soft plastic of the fishing lure and place a weight or sinker on the line or on the hook shank, typically at the very top or bottom thereof, to cause the flexible plastic fishing lure to sink to a desired depth before and during retrieval. Retrieval of flexible plastic fishing lures rigged in this manner is typically effected by initially lifting, and subsequently lowering the tip of the fishing rod and intermittently operating the reel to facilitate raising and falling of the lure, causing the flexible plastic fishing lure to assume a swimming appearance. Accordingly, the action of the weight on the hook allows the lure to be fished directly on the bottom of the waterbody, where the lure is typically bounced off the bottom in a swimming or crawling simulation, or fished at the surface or an intermediate depth, depending upon the lure design and speed of retrieval. Problems with conventional sinkers and weights attached to the fishing line and the shanks of the hooks in prior art hooks include snagging or catching of the sinker on underwater obstacles such as moss, rocks, tree limbs, stumps, grass, weeds and the like when a lure is fished on the bottom and improper balancing of the impaled lure in the water during retrieval. The balancing problem includes excessive rate of sinking in the case of slip sinkers placed on the fishing line and excessive weight of improper shape placed on the hook shank in the wrong place.
- Typical of the prior art weighted hook devices is the “Mustad FFN-ACKY”™ which includes a straight shank that curves to a reverse bend for embedment in the plastic fishing lure and includes a weight added to the top of the hook shank for causing the weighted fishing lure to sink to a desired depth in a waterbody. An early fishing line hook and sinker is detailed in U.S. Pat. No. 83,681, patented Nov. 3, 1868. Other patents detailing various types of hooks with sinkers include U.S. Pat. No. 148,926, patented Mar. 24, 1874 to M. V. Cahon; U.S. Pat. No. 1,295,370, patented Feb. 25, 1919 to F. A. Porter; U.S. Pat. No. 167,687, dated Sep. 14, 1875, to Pitcher; U.S. Pat. No. 2,185,666, patented Jan. 2, 1940 to A. D. Hill, Jr.; U.S. Pat. No. 2,775,842, dated Jan. 1, 1957, to T. McCade; U.S. Pat. No. 4,819,366, patented Apr. 11, 1989 to J. T. Manno; U.S. Pat. No. 5,220,743, dated Jun. 22, 1993, to McClellan; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,901,494, dated May 11, 1999 to Herb Reed.
- It has been found in the course of this invention that a low-profile, double-tapered weight can be applied to a curved or straight shank fishing hook to facilitate embedment of portions of the hook in a flexible plastic fishing lure, and fishing of the hook and lure at a desired depth in an easily controlled manner. Preferably, the low-profile, double-tapered weight is applied to the shank of the hook at a location between a bend in one end of the shank and the opposite end of the shank from the bend. It has further been found that the low profile, double-tapered weight located on the shank serves the purpose of improving the lure rigging and preventing, or at least greatly minimizing, snagging of the lure and the partially embedded hook on underwater obstacles such as moss, weeds, rocks, tree limbs and the like and facilitates a much smoother retrieval, whether the lure is being bounced off the bottom in heavy brush, rocks or the like, or retrieved on the surface or at an intermediate depth through the waterbody. Furthermore, placement of the streamlined, low-profile double-tapered weight on the hook shank near the end of the shank opposite the bend in the shank effects a surprisingly natural sinking of the hook-impaled lure, slightly head-down and with a slow descent, as well as a more natural “swimming action” of the lure due to minimum water resistance from the double-tapered, low profile weight.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide new and improved, fish hooks comprising a double-tapered weight attached to the shank for causing the hooks and lures in which the hooks are partially embedded, to sink at a desired rate to a desired retrieval depth, which depth is determined primarily by the weight size and speed of retrieval of the hooks and lures through a waterbody.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a straight shank fish hook for embedment in the body portion of a flexible plastic fishing lure such as a flexible plastic worm, which hook includes a straight shank fitted with a low profile, double-tapered weight, an extended shank bend provided at one end of the straight shank to define an extended shank, a reverse bend provided in the extended shank to define a reverse bend neck, a hook tip and a hook barb. At the opposite end of a straight shank above the weight there is provided an offset shank defined by a shank offset bend that defines the shank offset and a shank neck bend that terminates in a hook eye.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide a curved shank fish hook for partial embedment in flexible plastic fishing lures such as flexible plastic worms, which fish hook includes a curved shank segment fitted with a low profile, double-tapered weight. A reverse bend terminates the curved shank to define a reverse bend neck, which terminates in a hook tip and a hook barb. The opposite end of the curved shank, like the straight shank fish hook, terminates in a shank offset bend, a shank offset, a shank neck bend and a shank neck, which terminates in a hook eye.
- These and other objects of the invention are realized in new and improved weighted fish hooks which include, according to one embodiment, a straight shank weighted fish hook for partial embedment in the head and body portion of a flexible plastic fishing lure such as a flexible plastic worm, which hook includes a straight shank fitted with a streamlined, low profile, double-tapered weight, an extended shank bend provided at one end of the straight shank to define an extended shank, with a reverse bend provided in the extended shank to define a reverse bend neck, hook tip and hook barb. At the opposite end of the straight shank and above the weight there is provided a shank offset bend that defines a shank offset, a shank neck bend and a shank neck that terminates in a hook eye.
- According to another embodiment, a curved shank weighted fish hook is provided for partial embedment in flexible plastic fishing lures such as flexible plastic worms, which fish hook includes a curved shank segment fitted with a streamlined, low profile, double-tapered weight. A reverse bend terminates one end of the curved shank to define a reverse bend neck, which terminates in a hook tip and a hook barb. The opposite end of the curved shank, like the straight shank weighted fish hook, terminates in a shank offset bend, a shank offset, a shank neck bend, and a shank neck, which terminates in a hook eye.
- According to either the curved hook shank or the straight hook shank embodiment, the weight is located on the shank of the hook between the bend at one end of the hook shank and the hook eye at the opposite end of the hook shank. The preferred location of the weight will depend on the size of the hook and the amount of the weight.

FIG. 8 is a side view of the curved shank weighted fish hook illustrated inFIG. 7 , more particularly showing the fish hook partially embedded in a flexible plastic fishing lure in a weedless configuration. - In each of
FIGS. 1-8 , like reference numerals are used to refer to like parts of the hooks and lures illustrated therein. - Referring initially to
FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings in a first embodiment, a straight shank weighted fish hook is generally designated by reference numeral 1. The straight shank weighted fish hook 1 is characterized by astraight shank 2 that curves to define anextended shank 3 at anextended shank bend 4. Theextended shank bend 4 continues, to define areverse bend 5 and areverse bend neck 6 extends from thereverse bend 5 and terminates at asharp hook tip 7. Anoptional hook barb 8 is provided in the reverse bend neck spaced from thehook tip 7, as further illustrated inFIG. 1 . Thestraight shank 2 continues in the opposite direction from the extendedshank bend 4 to define a shank offset 9 at a shank offsetbend 10 and the shank offset 9 curves at ashank neck bend 12 to define ashank neck 11, terminated by ahook eye 13, to which afishing line 22 is tied, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . A double-tapered,low profile weight 15, having atop weight taper 16 and abottom weight taper 17, is provided such that thetop weight taper 16 is spaced from, but near, the shank offsetbend 10. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 is typically initially threaded through thelure head 20 of aplastic worm lure 19, withminimum lure head 20 damage, due to thetop weight taper 16 andbottom weight taper 17 of the double-taperedweight 15, after thefishing line 22 is tied to thehook eye 13, such that thehook eye 13, theshank neck 11 and theshank neck bend 12 are embedded in thelure head 20 and the shank offset 9 extends from thelure head 20. The end of the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 comprising thereverse bend 5 and a portion of theextended shank 3 is then embedded in thelure body 21 of theplastic worm lure 19, as further illustrated inFIG. 2 . In a preferred embodiment, this embedment is effected such that thereverse bend neck 6 typically extends alongside the soft plastic contour of the typicallystraight lure body 21 of theplastic lure 19 and thehook tip 7 terminates adjacent to, or is typically slightly embedded in, thelure body 21, along with theoptional hook barb 8, to facilitate retrieval of theplastic worm lure 19 with the partially embedded straight shank weighted fish hook 1 through a waterbody and across and through obstacles such as moss and weeds and around or over submerged tree limbs and stumps and the like, in a weedless fashion without engaging thehook tip 7 with the underwater obstacles. Furthermore, as illustrated inFIG. 2 , the extending portion of the shank offset 9, the shank offsetbend 10, thestraight shank 2, the double-taperedweight 15 and theextended shank bend 4, as well as a portion of theextended shank 3 are not embedded in theplastic worm lure 19. The double-taperedweight 15 is exposed to the waterbody and is positioned on thestraight shank 2 to facilitate an optimum sinking rate and a natural swimming appearance of theplastic worm lure 19. As will be described further with respect to other embodiments disclosed herein, depending on the size of the hook and the weight of the double-taperedweight 15, the position of the double-taperedweight 15 on theshank 2 may vary. However, at least thetop weight taper 16 of the double-taperedweight 15 will be positioned near the end of the hook shank having thehookeye 13, and preferably near a shank offsetbend 10. - Referring now to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , an embodiment comprising a curved shankweighted fish hook 24 is illustrated. The curvedshank fish hook 24 comprises acurved shank 25 that extends at one end to define areverse bend neck 6 at areverse bend 5. As in the case of the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thereverse bend neck 6 in the curved shankweighted fish hook 24 terminates in asharp hook tip 7 and in anoptional hook barb 8, as illustrated. Thecurved shank 25 extends in the opposite direction from thereverse bend 5 to define a shank offset 9 at a shank offsetbend 10 and includes ashank neck bend 12 and ashank neck 11, terminated by ahook eye 13 in the same manner as the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 . A low profile double-taperedweight 15 is provided on thecurved shank 25, and has atop weight taper 16 and abottom weight taper 17. Thetop weight taper 16 is situated near the shank offsetbend 10, as illustrated inFIG. 3 . - Referring again to
FIG. 4 , the curved shankweighted fish hook 24 is typically embedded in thelure head 20 and lurebody 21 of theplastic worm lure 19 in essentially the same manner as the straight shank weighted fish hook 1, with minimum damage to thelure head 20, as described above. Accordingly, thereverse bend neck 6 and thehook tip 7 are typically positioned to lie alongside thelure body 21 of theplastic worm lure 19 to render theplastic worm lure 19 and curved shankweighted fish hook 24 essentially weedless as it is pulled through submerged weed beds and moss and over and around limbs, tree stumps and the like, by means of thefishing line 22 which is attached to a conventional reel (not illustrated). Further, as above described with respect to the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 , theplastic worm lure 19 is designed to sink at a natural rate of descent due to the position, size and shape of the double-taperedweight 15. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 and the curved shank
weighted fish hook 24 can be constructed in any desired size or “number”, as fish hooks are numbered in the art, with a double-tapered weight 15 (typically, but not necessarily constructed of lead) of corresponding size and weight provided on thestraight shank 2 and thecurved shank 25, respectively. For example, either of the straight shank weighted fish hook 1 or the curved shankweighted fish hook 24 can be made in sizes including but not limited to 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0 sizes. Similarly, double-taperedweight 15 can be provided in weights including but not limited to 1/32 oz., 1/16 oz., and 3/32 oz. Exemplary embodiments of a straight hook weighted shank and a curved hook weighted shank where at least the low-profile double-tapered weights are provided in a heavier weight are illustrated inFIGS. 5-8 . - Referring now to
FIGS. 5 and 6 of the drawings, another embodiment of a straight shank weighted fish hook is generally designated byreference numeral 100. As discussed with respect to the embodiment of a straight shank weighted fish hook 1 illustrated byFIG. 1 , the straight shank weightedfish hook 100 illustrated inFIG. 5 is characterized by astraight shank 2 that curves to define anextended shank 3 at anextended shank bend 4. Theextended shank bend 4 continues, defining areverse bend 5 and areverse bend neck 6.Reverse bend neck 6 extends from thereverse bend 5 and terminates at asharp hook tip 7. Anoptional hook barb 8 is provided in the reverse bend neck spaced from thehook tip 7. Thestraight shank 2 continues in the opposite direction from the extendedshank bend 4 to define a shank offset 9 at a shank offsetbend 10. The shank offset 9 curves at ashank neck bend 12 to define ashank neck 11, terminated by ahook eye 13, to which afishing line 22 is tied, as illustrated inFIG. 6 . A double-tapered,low profile weight 150, having atop weight taper 160 and abottom weight taper 170, is provided on thestraight shank 2 such that thetop weight taper 160 is spaced from, but near, the shank offsetbend 10. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , the double-taperedweight 150 extends further along the shaft toward theextended shank bend 4 than the double-taperedweight 15, which could indicate that the weight of the double-taperedweight 150 is at the heavier end of weight, for example, 3/32 oz. In addition, the straightshank fish hook 100 illustrated inFIG. 5 could also be sized at the larger end of sizes, for example 5/0, to accommodate a heavier weight for the double-taperedweight 150. - As further illustrated in
FIG. 6 , the straight shank weightedfish hook 100 is typically initially threaded through thelure head 20 of aplastic worm lure 19 withminimum lure head 20 damage, due to thetop weight taper 16 andbottom weight taper 17 of the double-taperedweight 15. Thefishing line 22 is tied to thehook eye 13, and thehook eye 13, theshank neck 11 and theshank neck bend 12 are embedded in thelure head 20. The shank offset 9 extends from thelure head 20. The opposite end of thestraight shank 2, which includes thereverse bend 5 and a portion of theextended shank 3, is then embedded in thelure body 21 of theplastic worm lure 19. In a preferred embodiment, this embedment is effected such that thereverse bend neck 6 typically extends alongside the soft plastic contour of the typicallystraight lure body 21 of theplastic lure 19 and thehook tip 7 terminates adjacent to, or is typically slightly embedded in, thelure body 21, along with theoptional hook barb 8. This method of embedment facilitates retrieval of theplastic worm lure 19, with the straight shank weightedfish hook 100 partially embedded therein, through a waterbody, across and through obstacles such as moss and weeds, and around or over submerged tree limbs and stumps and the like, in a weedless fashion without engaging thehook tip 7 with the underwater obstacles. Furthermore, as illustrated inFIG. 6 , the extending portion of the shank offset 9, the shank offsetbend 10, thestraight shank 2, the double-taperedweight 150 and theextended shank bend 4, as well as a portion of theextended shank 3 are not embedded in theplastic worm lure 19. The double-taperedweight 150 is exposed to the waterbody and is positioned on thestraight shank 2 to facilitate an optimum sinking rate and a natural swimming appearance of theplastic worm lure 19. - Referring now to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , another embodiment of a curved shank weighted fish hook is generally designated byreference numeral 240. As discussed with respect to the embodiment of a curved shankweighted fish hook 24 illustrated byFIG. 3 , the curved shankweighted fish hook 240 illustrated inFIG. 7 includes acurved shank 25 that extends at one end to define areverse bend neck 6 at areverse bend 5. Thereverse bend neck 6 in the curved shankweighted fish hook 240 terminates in asharp hook tip 7 an in anoptional hook barb 8. Thecurved shank 25 extends in the opposite direction from thereverse bend 5 to define a shank offset 9 at a shank offsetbend 10, and includes ashank neck bend 12 and ashank neck 11, terminated by ahook eye 13. A low profile double-taperedweight 150 is provided on thecurved shank 25, and includes atop weight taper 160 and abottom weight taper 170. Thetop weight taper 160 is situated a near the shank offsetbend 10, as illustrated inFIG. 7 . - Referring now to
FIG. 8 , the curved shankweighted fish hook 240 is typically embedded in thelure head 20 and lurebody 21 of theplastic worm lure 19 in essentially the same manner as described above. Accordingly, thereverse bend neck 6 and thehook tip 7 are typically positioned to lie alongside thelure body 21 of theplastic worm lure 19 to render theplastic worm lure 19 and curved shankweighted fish hook 240 essentially weedless as it is pulled through submerged weed beds and moss and over and around limbs, tree stumps and the like, by means of thefishing line 22 which is attached to a conventional reel (not illustrated). Further, and previously described, theplastic worm lure 19 is designed to sink at a natural rate of descent due to the position, size and shape of the double-taperedweight 150. - Regardless of the selected size or weight of the double-tapered
weights weights top weight taper bottom weight taper plastic worm lure 19 illustrated inFIGS. 2, 4 , 6 and 8, as well as streamlined retrieval. - Referring now to all of
FIGS. 1-8 , when the straight shank weightedfish hooks 1 and 100, and curved shankweighted fish hooks plastic worm lure 19 as illustrated inFIGS. 2, 4 , 6 and 8, and thefishing line 22 is tied to eachhook eye 13 prior to such embedment, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that each hook and lure combination may be cast from a casting rod and reel (not illustrated) upon which reel andfishing line 22 is wound. Theplastic worm lure 19 with embedded straight shank weightedfish hooks 1 and 100, and with embedded curved shankweighted fish hooks plastic worm lure 19 will sink naturally as a result of the double-taperedweight 15. - Furthermore, under circumstances where the straight shank weighted
fish hooks 1 and 100 and curved shankweighted fish hooks weights plastic worm lure 19, the straight shank weightedfish hooks 1 and 100, and the curved shankweighted fish hooks weights plastic worm lure 19, since it offers minimum resistance to water pressure and does not materially interfere with the natural “swimming” action and movement of theplastic worm lure 19 through the water. - Referring again to the drawings, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a primary consideration of the straight shank weighted
fish hooks 1 and 100, and the curved shankweighted fish hooks weights weights top weight taper bottom weight taper weights bend 10 in the straight shank weightedfish hooks 1 and 100 illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 5 , and slightly below the shank offsetbend 10 in the curved shankweighted fish hooks FIGS. 3 and 7 facilitates an optimum angle of position and rate of descent as theplastic worm lure 19 sinks in a waterbody, which makes the lure attractive to fish. - Accordingly, when cast and before retrieval, the
plastic worm lure 19 illustrated inFIGS. 2, 4 , 6 and 8 will not dive rapidly toward the water bottom, nor will it float tail down or horizontally toward the waterbody, but it will slowly sink with thelure head 20 positioned in a naturally-appearing, downward position and thelure body 21 following in an optimum undulating simulated swimming action designed to attract fish. Moreover, the low profile configuration of the exposed (i.e., not embedded in the lure 19) double-taperedweights plastic worm lure 19 during all types of retrieval. - It will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art that either of a straight shank or a curved shank fish hook of the embodiments disclosed herein may be mounted on a wide variety of plastic fishing lures, including worms, lizards, grubs, crawfish, shad and other lures and baits of all descriptions, in non-exclusive particular, typically, but not necessarily, in the manner illustrated in
FIGS. 2, 4 , 6 and 8 of the drawings. Accordingly, as desired, the straight shank weightedfish hooks 1 and 100, curved shankweighted fish hooks lure head 20 and lurebody 21 of theplastic worm lure 19, such that thehook tip 7 penetrates thelure body 21 to insure that both thehook tip 7 and thehook barb 8 are hidden and free from entanglement in or snagging on underwater obstacles while theplastic worm lure 19 is retrieved. - While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made in the invention and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
