Description

Oct. 11,1949. T. GOLEMBESKI 2,484,162
BAIT CASTING PLUG Filed March 20, 1947 INVENTOR. THEODORE GOLEMBESK/ BY fla wwr.
Patented Oct. 11, 1949 UNITED STATES T OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to fishing lure and more particularly to a casting plug.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a casting plug which has fins which can be readily adjusted to different angles about the transverse axis of the main body so that the fins can be readily adjusted to different positions to cause the same to leap on the water surface to imitate the movement of a frog or to permit the setting of the fins at different angles whereby to cause the plug to spin, move in zig-zag fashion, roll, all in a manner depending upon the setting of the fin whereby the one plug will serve the purpose of several plugs which have been used heretofore to obtain the different motions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a convenient means for adjustably connecting fins to a casting plug whereby upon the fin being set and released the same will be drawn into place and retained therein by a tension spring acting between a fin on one side and a fin 'on the opposite side.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which.
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the casting plug embodying the features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the casting plug showing the fins extending from the opposite sides thereof.
Fig. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2 or Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows thereof.
Referring now to the figures, it] represents a body of a casting plug having a nose H with a ring l2 therein to which a line is attached. This plug also has a tail portion I3 to which a multiple fish hook arrangement I3 is attached. To the belly of the plug there is attached a single hook l4 as by means of a screw l5. Extending transversely through the plug is an opening l3 into which sleeve portions ll of fin elements l8 are extended and retained by a tension spring 19 extending between transverse pins 2| within the outer end of the sleeves.
Within the body of the plug and surrounding the outer end of the opening I6 are a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots 22 into which may extend the projections 23 of the fins l8.
As the fins are drawn out of the opening l6 they can be turned to locate the projections 23 into diametrically opposite slots 22 in the body l0. Thus it will be seen that the fins can be adjusted to and retained in any angular position about a transverse axis.
By having a different adjustment of respective fins, the plug may be caused to spin or roll in the Water as it is drawn therethrough. By adjusting both fins to the same angle, the plug may be caused to leap over the water to imitate the movement of a frog upon the water.
Having now described my invention, I claim:
A casting plug having a transverse opening therethrough, said plug having slots circumferentially spaced about the ends of the opening and in the surface of the plug body, fins having projection-s adapted to selectively enter the circumferentially arranged slots, sleeve portions connected to the inner ends of the projections on the fins adapted to enter and extend into said transverse opening, pins in the outer ends of the sleeve portions transversely thereof and of said projections, and spring means extending Within the sleeve portions within the transverse opening and between the fins and connec ed at its opposite ends to said pins to maintain the fins in their adjusted positions within the slots, and said sleeve portions being adjustable in and out of the transverse opening simultaneously with the movement of said fins.
THEODORE GOLEMBESKI.
