Definitions
- This invention relates to fishing activities, and more particularly to an electrically powered illumination device carried on a fishing line proximate a fishing lure for illuminating fishing lure during use to increase perceptibility by fish.
- Such apparatus may contain a variety of elements including, but not limited to, chemicals, rattles, and reflectors of ambient light all with the object of drawing fish closer to a lure and/or bait which the fish will hopefully bite or otherwise strike.
- visual attractants at times when there is little ambient light such as at dusk, or at dawn, or on overcast days, or when fishing at great depths, ambient light fails to penetrate deeply into the water diminishing the reflection of light and making the lure less visible to fish.
- My invention provides such an apparatus by providing a waterproof light that attaches to the fishing line spacedly forward of the lure and/or bait.
- My line light is light-weight, durable, is not susceptible to damage by water pressure, does not negatively affect “action” of the lure, is simple to use, can be kept in a tackle box and attached to fishing line at any time.
- My line light will illuminate fishing lures underwater and generate reflectance off reflectors attracting more fish and thus, providing for a better yield of caught fish.
- a reflection is an interpretation of light waves having a particular wavelength. While it is an organism's eye that receives light waves, it is the organism's brain that interprets those light waves and “sees”.
- a transparent lens called the cornea is at the front of the eye to allow light waves into the eye. Behind the cornea is the iris, which gives the eye its color. By changing size, the iris regulates the amount of light entering the pupil, which is the orifice defined by the iris. Located behind the iris is a crystalline lens which focuses the light rays entering the eye onto the retina. The retina is the inner most layer of the eye and is covered with photo receptor cells. Light waves enter the eye through the cornea, pass through the pupil are focused by the lens and strike photo receptors on the retina.
- Rod type photo receptors perceive the intensity of light and enable an organism to see in low light conditions and in darkness.
- Cone type photo receptors perceive the wavelengths of various light waves and enable the organism to distinguish colors.
- Humans are among the minority of mammals that have color vision. In the human eye, rods are found at the peripheral regions of the retina but are nearly absent from the center of the visual field, known as the fovea, where the cones are concentrated. The human eye has about 150,000 cones (color receptors) per square millimeter of fovea area. Humans' eyes have three variants of photo-receptive cones (known as red cones, blue cones and green cones) and for that reason humans are classified as trichromic organisms. Each variant of photo receptive cone carries a unique protein, called an opsin, that reacts when struck by light waves having wavelengths that correspond to the opsin's light sensitivity. It is unknown whether the reaction is physical, chemical or both. The reaction of the opsin is communicated to the brain allowing the organism to distinguish between red, blue and green colors. Thus, the world visually perceived by humans is dominated by light having wave lengths ranging from 400-750 nanometers, or blue to red respectively.
- UVA Ultra Violet A
- UV light penetrates more deeply into water than visible light and ultraviolet light is abundant in near surface marine ecosystems. It is estimated there is sufficient UV light for UV vision down to a depth of approximately 200 meters in clear ocean water, while visible light penetrates clear ocean water to a depth of only approximately 20-40 meters. The current prevailing hypothesis is that UV vision is primarily used by fish to improve detection of prey.
- My line light apparatus overcomes various of the aforementioned drawbacks to known fish attractants by providing a simple illumination device that incorporates a battery carrying two parallel electrically conductive tubes to releasably carry an LED, and a line tube to attach the apparatus for a fishing line.
- the battery and tubes are covered in a durable water-proof coating to prevent short circuits.
- the battery powers the LED producing light that illuminates the lure and causes reflection there-off making the fishing lure more visible even at depths.
- the LED may have a variety of colors including, but not limited to red, yellow, green and ultra-violet.
- Each tube is welded to and in electrical connectivity with one pole of the battery and the line tube is fastened to one pole of the battery adjacent to and parallel with one of the tubes.
- the LED light has two electrical contacts and one electrical contact is releasably carried in a medial channel defined by each tube thus completing an electrical circuit and providing the necessary electrical energy to illuminate the LED light.
- the line light is carried on a fishing line by threading the fishing line through a medial channel defined by the line tube.
- the mass of my line light is less than approximately three (3) grams, and its position spacedly forward of the lure does not negatively affect “action” of the lure/bait by causing water turbulence or other water disturbances.
- my line light has no voids or air pockets within its structure making my line light not susceptible to water leakage due to water pressure at depths that might cause short circuits or corrosion.
- a line light provides a disc shaped battery carrying, in electrical connectivity, two parallel electrically conductive tubes, one tube on each battery pole.
- a line tube is carried adjacent and parallel to one electrically conductive tube.
- a waterproof coating extends entirely thereabout.
- An LED releasably simultaneously interconnects with the two electrically conductive tubes to complete a circuit providing electrical power for illumination of the LED.

- My line light generally provides a body 9 having a battery 10 , a first tube 15 , a second tube 19 , a line tube 23 and an LED 27 .
- the battery 10 is preferably a circular disc shaped lithium watch battery having an anode 11 on a first planar side and a cathode 12 on an opposing second planar side. A circumferential edge 13 extends completely thereabout. It is also preferable the battery 10 have a mass of less than approximately 4 grams so as to not cause excessive drag on a fishing line 33 , nor hinder casting a lure 34 , nor cause turbulence as water flows over and about the body 9 as it moves through the water that might negatively affect action of a lure 34 attached to the fishing line 33 .
- the first tube 15 and the second tube 19 are formed of brass so as to be electrically conductive and non corrosive. It is expressly contemplated materials other than brass which are electrically conductive, and attachable to the battery 10 in an electrically conductive connection such as welding 41 may likewise be used.
- the first tube 15 has a first end portion 16 , a spaced apart opposing second end portion 17 and defines a medial channel 18 extending therethrough between the first end portion 16 and the second end portion 17 . ( FIG. 10 ).
- the second tube 19 has a first end portion 20 , a spaced apart opposing second end portion 21 and defines a medial channel 22 extending therethrough between the first end portion 20 and the second end portion 21 . ( FIG. 10 ).
- the first tube 15 is electrically structurally attached to the anode 11
- the second tube 19 is electrically structurally attached to the cathode 12 preferably by welding 41 although other attachment methods are likewise contemplated such as soldering, so long as the interconnection provides electrical conductivity therebetween.
- the medial channels 18 , 22 defined by each tube 15 , 19 respectively are parallel to one another and are spaced apart by thickness 40 of the battery 10 and thickness (not shown) of side walls of the tubes 15 , 19 .
- First end portions 16 , 20 of the first tube 15 and second tube 19 respectively extend radially outwardly beyond the circumferential edge 13 of the battery 10 . While the second end portions 17 , 21 do not extend beyond the circumferential edge 13 of the battery 10 .
- the line tube 23 is affixed to the battery 10 adjacent to and in parallel alignment with the first tube 15 .
- the line tube 23 similarly has a first end portion 24 , a spaced apart opposing second end portion 25 and defines a medial channel 26 extending therethrough from the first end portion 24 to the second end portion 25 .
- First end portion 24 of the line tube 23 is not aligned with the first end portions 16 , 20 of the first and second tubes 15 , 19 respectively, but rather is positioned radially inwardly from the first end portions 16 , 20 of the first and second tubes 15 , 19 respectively. This offset position allows easy identification of the first and second tubes 15 , 19 that are electrically conductive.
- the second end portion 25 of the line tube 23 is preferably positioned radially outwardly beyond the peripheral edge 13 of the battery 10 generally diametrically opposite the first end portions, 20 of the first tube 15 and second tube 19 .
- This positioning of the line tube 23 makes it easier to positionally maintain the body 9 with a placement means 35 such as a split-shot sinker 35 a. ( FIG. 12 ).
- the battery 10 , first tube 15 and second tube 19 and at least a portion of the line tube 23 are coated in a flexible durable waterproof coating 14 such as, but not limited to, rubber, or latex or plastic.
- a product known as “liquid tapeTM” is used to provide the waterproof coating 14 .
- the LED 27 has a bulb 28 carrying an element 29 therein and first and second elongated electrical contacts 30 , 31 which electrically communicate with the element 29 .
- the LED 27 is interconnected with the battery 10 by inserting the first electrical contact 30 into the medial channel 18 defined by the first tube 15 and simultaneously inserting the second electrical contact 31 into the medial channel 22 defined by the second tube 19 . ( FIG. 3 ).
- first tube 15 and second tube 19 are electrically connected to the anode 11 and the cathode 12 , and the electrical contacts 30 , 31 , electrically communicate with element 29 , when the electrical contacts 30 , 31 are inserted into the medial channels 18 , 22 , an electrical circuit is completed providing electrical power to the element 29 causing the element 29 to become energized which responsively causes the bulb 28 to illuminate.
- the first and second electrical contacts 30 , 31 of the LED 27 are positionally maintained in electrical contact with the first and second tubes 15 , 19 respectively by friction.
- the line light body 9 should be positioned on the fishing line 33 so that the LED 27 is proximate the fishing lure 34 . ( FIG. 14 ).
- An end (not shown) of a fishing line 33 is threaded through the medial channel 26 defined by the line tube 23 by inserting the fishing line 33 into the medial channel 26 from the second end portion 25 so that the fishing line 33 exits the medial channel 26 from the first end portion 24 .
- a lure 34 may be attached to the end of the fishing, line 33 with a knot (not shown) or a swivel (not shown).
- the body 9 is positionally maintained on the fishing line 33 a distance from the lure 34 by attaching a placement means 35 which may be a split-shot lead weight 35 a ( FIG. 12 ) to the fishing line 33 adjacent the first end portion 24 and also adjacent the second end portion 25 of the line tube 23 to prevent the body 9 from moving along the fishing line 33 .
- Positional maintenance of the body 9 on the fishing line 33 may also be established by inserting an object such as a portion of a “toothpick” 35 b into the medial channel 26 of the line tube 23 adjacent the fishing line 33 to compress the fishing line 33 against an inner circumferential surface (not shown) of the line tube 23 . ( FIG. 13 ). Such compression increases friction between the fishing line 33 and the line tube 23 and prevents movement of the body 9 therealong.
- An LED 27 of a color desired by the user (for example Red, Green, White, Yellow, Blue, Ultra Violet) is interconnected to the battery 10 by inserting the first electrical contact 30 into the first end portion 16 of the medial channel 16 defined by the first tube 15 attached to the anode 11 and simultaneously inserting the second electrical contact 31 into the first end portion 20 of the medial channel 22 defined by the second tube 19 attached to the cathode 12 . Insertion of the LED 27 electrical contacts 30 , 31 into the tubes 15 , 19 completes a circuit and results in illumination of the bulb 28 .
- a color desired by the user for example Red, Green, White, Yellow, Blue, Ultra Violet
- Polarity of the LED 27 must be correct to cause illumination of the bulb 28 and the polarity may be altered by axially rotating the LED 27 , 180° so that the first electrical contact 30 is inserted into the second tube 19 rather than the first tube 15 and the second electrical contact 31 is inserted into the first tube 15 rather than the second tube 19 .
- the LED 27 is interconnected with the battery 10 and is illuminated, fishing is commenced as desired.
- the illuminated bulb 28 casts light waves onto the spacedly adjacent fishing lure 34 ( FIG. 14 ) increasing its reflectively and visibly to fish which responsively attracts fish and tends to cause them to bite and/or strike the lure 34 increasing the users yield of fish.
- my line light Because of the small mass, size and weight of my line light it can be used in nearly all types of fishing activities including still fishing, trolling, jigging as well as casting. Further my line light may be used in conjunction with other reflection enhancing apparatus such as “flashers” and/or “spinners” as well as with artificial baits and/or live baits.

Description
- This Utility Patent Application claims the benefit of earlier filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/835,156 filed on Jun. 14, 2013. The entire contents of the identified earlier filed US Provisional Patent Application is incorporated herein by this reference.
- 1. Field of Invention
- This invention relates to fishing activities, and more particularly to an electrically powered illumination device carried on a fishing line proximate a fishing lure for illuminating fishing lure during use to increase perceptibility by fish.
- 2. Background and Description of Prior Art
- When fishing it is desirable to either fish where fish are naturally congregating in numbers, or to attract fish to the location where the fisherperson is fishing. To this end, various apparatus have been developed to attract fish using visual means, auditory means and olfactory means. Such apparatus may contain a variety of elements including, but not limited to, chemicals, rattles, and reflectors of ambient light all with the object of drawing fish closer to a lure and/or bait which the fish will hopefully bite or otherwise strike. With respect to visual attractants, at times when there is little ambient light such as at dusk, or at dawn, or on overcast days, or when fishing at great depths, ambient light fails to penetrate deeply into the water diminishing the reflection of light and making the lure less visible to fish.
- What is needed is an apparatus that allows for the illumination of fishing lures during use underwater in low light conditions. My invention provides such an apparatus by providing a waterproof light that attaches to the fishing line spacedly forward of the lure and/or bait. My line light is light-weight, durable, is not susceptible to damage by water pressure, does not negatively affect “action” of the lure, is simple to use, can be kept in a tackle box and attached to fishing line at any time. My line light will illuminate fishing lures underwater and generate reflectance off reflectors attracting more fish and thus, providing for a better yield of caught fish.
- A reflection is an interpretation of light waves having a particular wavelength. While it is an organism's eye that receives light waves, it is the organism's brain that interprets those light waves and “sees”.
- A transparent lens called the cornea is at the front of the eye to allow light waves into the eye. Behind the cornea is the iris, which gives the eye its color. By changing size, the iris regulates the amount of light entering the pupil, which is the orifice defined by the iris. Located behind the iris is a crystalline lens which focuses the light rays entering the eye onto the retina. The retina is the inner most layer of the eye and is covered with photo receptor cells. Light waves enter the eye through the cornea, pass through the pupil are focused by the lens and strike photo receptors on the retina.
- There are two types of photo receptors, rods and cones, which are named for their relative shapes. Rod type photo receptors perceive the intensity of light and enable an organism to see in low light conditions and in darkness. Cone type photo receptors perceive the wavelengths of various light waves and enable the organism to distinguish colors.
- Humans are among the minority of mammals that have color vision. In the human eye, rods are found at the peripheral regions of the retina but are nearly absent from the center of the visual field, known as the fovea, where the cones are concentrated. The human eye has about 150,000 cones (color receptors) per square millimeter of fovea area. Humans' eyes have three variants of photo-receptive cones (known as red cones, blue cones and green cones) and for that reason humans are classified as trichromic organisms. Each variant of photo receptive cone carries a unique protein, called an opsin, that reacts when struck by light waves having wavelengths that correspond to the opsin's light sensitivity. It is unknown whether the reaction is physical, chemical or both. The reaction of the opsin is communicated to the brain allowing the organism to distinguish between red, blue and green colors. Thus, the world visually perceived by humans is dominated by light having wave lengths ranging from 400-750 nanometers, or blue to red respectively.
- In contrast to humans, fish have tetra-chromic vision. The eyes of tetra-chromic organisms have four variants of photo receptive cones. In addition to having three variants of cones with opsins sensitive to red, green and blue light, fish have a fourth variant of cone with an opsin that is sensitive to UV light which presumptively enables the organism to perceive ultra violet light that is invisible to humans. The peak sensitivity of the opsin on this fourth variant of photo receptive cone is at about 358 nanometers which is known as Ultra Violet A (UVA) light.
- As noted above, while a human eye has about 150,000 cones per square millimeter of fovea area, the eyes of fish have more than one million cones per square millimeter of fovea area. This large difference in the number of cone type photo receptors in the fovea presumptively provides bony fish and crustaceans with greater visual acuity than humans, as well as an ability to perceive UV light that is invisible to humans.
- Ultra violet light penetrates more deeply into water than visible light and ultraviolet light is abundant in near surface marine ecosystems. It is estimated there is sufficient UV light for UV vision down to a depth of approximately 200 meters in clear ocean water, while visible light penetrates clear ocean water to a depth of only approximately 20-40 meters. The current prevailing hypothesis is that UV vision is primarily used by fish to improve detection of prey.
- My line light apparatus overcomes various of the aforementioned drawbacks to known fish attractants by providing a simple illumination device that incorporates a battery carrying two parallel electrically conductive tubes to releasably carry an LED, and a line tube to attach the apparatus for a fishing line. The battery and tubes are covered in a durable water-proof coating to prevent short circuits. The battery powers the LED producing light that illuminates the lure and causes reflection there-off making the fishing lure more visible even at depths. The LED may have a variety of colors including, but not limited to red, yellow, green and ultra-violet. Each tube is welded to and in electrical connectivity with one pole of the battery and the line tube is fastened to one pole of the battery adjacent to and parallel with one of the tubes. The LED light has two electrical contacts and one electrical contact is releasably carried in a medial channel defined by each tube thus completing an electrical circuit and providing the necessary electrical energy to illuminate the LED light. The line light is carried on a fishing line by threading the fishing line through a medial channel defined by the line tube. The mass of my line light is less than approximately three (3) grams, and its position spacedly forward of the lure does not negatively affect “action” of the lure/bait by causing water turbulence or other water disturbances. Further, my line light has no voids or air pockets within its structure making my line light not susceptible to water leakage due to water pressure at depths that might cause short circuits or corrosion.
- Some or all of the drawbacks and problems explained above, and other drawbacks and problems, may be helped or solved by my invention shown and described herein. My invention may also be used to address other problems not set out herein or which become apparent at a later time. The future may also bring to light unknown benefits which may, in the future, be appreciated from the novel invention shown and described herein.
- My invention does not reside in any one of the identified features individually, but rather in the synergistic combination of all of its structures, which give rise to the functions necessarily flowing therefrom as hereinafter specified and claimed.
- A line light provides a disc shaped battery carrying, in electrical connectivity, two parallel electrically conductive tubes, one tube on each battery pole. A line tube is carried adjacent and parallel to one electrically conductive tube. A waterproof coating extends entirely thereabout. An LED releasably simultaneously interconnects with the two electrically conductive tubes to complete a circuit providing electrical power for illumination of the LED.

- My line light generally provides a
body 9 having abattery 10, afirst tube 15, asecond tube 19, aline tube 23 and anLED 27. Thebattery 10 is preferably a circular disc shaped lithium watch battery having ananode 11 on a first planar side and acathode 12 on an opposing second planar side. Acircumferential edge 13 extends completely thereabout. It is also preferable thebattery 10 have a mass of less than approximately 4 grams so as to not cause excessive drag on afishing line 33, nor hinder casting alure 34, nor cause turbulence as water flows over and about thebody 9 as it moves through the water that might negatively affect action of alure 34 attached to thefishing line 33. - In the preferred embodiment, the
first tube 15 and thesecond tube 19 are formed of brass so as to be electrically conductive and non corrosive. It is expressly contemplated materials other than brass which are electrically conductive, and attachable to thebattery 10 in an electrically conductive connection such aswelding 41 may likewise be used. Thefirst tube 15 has afirst end portion 16, a spaced apart opposingsecond end portion 17 and defines amedial channel 18 extending therethrough between thefirst end portion 16 and thesecond end portion 17. (FIG. 10 ). Similarly, thesecond tube 19 has afirst end portion 20, a spaced apart opposingsecond end portion 21 and defines amedial channel 22 extending therethrough between thefirst end portion 20 and thesecond end portion 21. (FIG. 10 ). - The
first tube 15 is electrically structurally attached to theanode 11, and thesecond tube 19 is electrically structurally attached to thecathode 12 preferably by welding 41 although other attachment methods are likewise contemplated such as soldering, so long as the interconnection provides electrical conductivity therebetween. Themedial channels tube thickness 40 of thebattery 10 and thickness (not shown) of side walls of thetubes First end portions first tube 15 andsecond tube 19 respectively extend radially outwardly beyond thecircumferential edge 13 of thebattery 10. While thesecond end portions circumferential edge 13 of thebattery 10. - The
line tube 23 is affixed to thebattery 10 adjacent to and in parallel alignment with thefirst tube 15. Theline tube 23 similarly has afirst end portion 24, a spaced apart opposingsecond end portion 25 and defines amedial channel 26 extending therethrough from thefirst end portion 24 to thesecond end portion 25.First end portion 24 of theline tube 23 is not aligned with thefirst end portions second tubes first end portions second tubes second tubes second end portion 25 of theline tube 23 is preferably positioned radially outwardly beyond theperipheral edge 13 of thebattery 10 generally diametrically opposite the first end portions, 20 of thefirst tube 15 andsecond tube 19. This positioning of theline tube 23 makes it easier to positionally maintain thebody 9 with a placement means 35 such as a split-shot sinker 35 a. (FIG. 12 ). - The
battery 10,first tube 15 andsecond tube 19 and at least a portion of theline tube 23 are coated in a flexible durablewaterproof coating 14 such as, but not limited to, rubber, or latex or plastic. In the preferred embodiment, a product known as “liquid tape™” is used to provide thewaterproof coating 14. - The
LED 27 has abulb 28 carrying anelement 29 therein and first and second elongatedelectrical contacts element 29. TheLED 27 is interconnected with thebattery 10 by inserting the firstelectrical contact 30 into themedial channel 18 defined by thefirst tube 15 and simultaneously inserting the secondelectrical contact 31 into themedial channel 22 defined by thesecond tube 19. (FIG. 3 ). Because thefirst tube 15 andsecond tube 19 are electrically connected to theanode 11 and thecathode 12, and theelectrical contacts element 29, when theelectrical contacts medial channels element 29 causing theelement 29 to become energized which responsively causes thebulb 28 to illuminate. - The first and second
electrical contacts LED 27 are positionally maintained in electrical contact with the first andsecond tubes - Having described the structure of my line light its operation may be understood.
- The line
light body 9 should be positioned on thefishing line 33 so that theLED 27 is proximate thefishing lure 34. (FIG. 14 ). An end (not shown) of afishing line 33 is threaded through themedial channel 26 defined by theline tube 23 by inserting thefishing line 33 into themedial channel 26 from thesecond end portion 25 so that thefishing line 33 exits themedial channel 26 from thefirst end portion 24. Thereafter, alure 34 may be attached to the end of the fishing,line 33 with a knot (not shown) or a swivel (not shown). - The
body 9 is positionally maintained on the fishing line 33 a distance from thelure 34 by attaching a placement means 35 which may be a split-shot lead weight 35 a (FIG. 12 ) to thefishing line 33 adjacent thefirst end portion 24 and also adjacent thesecond end portion 25 of theline tube 23 to prevent thebody 9 from moving along thefishing line 33. Positional maintenance of thebody 9 on thefishing line 33 may also be established by inserting an object such as a portion of a “toothpick” 35 b into themedial channel 26 of theline tube 23 adjacent thefishing line 33 to compress thefishing line 33 against an inner circumferential surface (not shown) of theline tube 23. (FIG. 13 ). Such compression increases friction between thefishing line 33 and theline tube 23 and prevents movement of thebody 9 therealong. - An
LED 27, of a color desired by the user (for example Red, Green, White, Yellow, Blue, Ultra Violet) is interconnected to thebattery 10 by inserting the firstelectrical contact 30 into thefirst end portion 16 of themedial channel 16 defined by thefirst tube 15 attached to theanode 11 and simultaneously inserting the secondelectrical contact 31 into thefirst end portion 20 of themedial channel 22 defined by thesecond tube 19 attached to thecathode 12. Insertion of theLED 27electrical contacts tubes bulb 28. Polarity of theLED 27 must be correct to cause illumination of thebulb 28 and the polarity may be altered by axially rotating theLED 27, 180° so that the firstelectrical contact 30 is inserted into thesecond tube 19 rather than thefirst tube 15 and the secondelectrical contact 31 is inserted into thefirst tube 15 rather than thesecond tube 19. - Once the
LED 27 is interconnected with thebattery 10 and is illuminated, fishing is commenced as desired. When the line light is in the water with thefishing line 33 andfishing lure 34, the illuminatedbulb 28 casts light waves onto the spacedly adjacent fishing lure 34 (FIG. 14 ) increasing its reflectively and visibly to fish which responsively attracts fish and tends to cause them to bite and/or strike thelure 34 increasing the users yield of fish. - Because of the small mass, size and weight of my line light it can be used in nearly all types of fishing activities including still fishing, trolling, jigging as well as casting. Further my line light may be used in conjunction with other reflection enhancing apparatus such as “flashers” and/or “spinners” as well as with artificial baits and/or live baits.
- The foregoing description of my invention is necessarily of a detailed nature so that a specific embodiment of a best mode may be set forth as is required, but it is to be understood that various modifications of details, sizes, and rearrangement, substitution and multiplication of the parts may be resorted to without departing from its spirit, essence or scope.
- Having thusly described my invention, I file this Utility Patent Application and pray issuance of Utility Letters Patent.
