To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, JOHN Honeson LEE, a
at eckham, in the county of Surrey, Eng' land, have invented new and useful Improvements in Revolving Spinning Baits, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a new and simple revolving spinning bait for attachment to an ordinary spinning or trolling fish ng-line and is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings, in whicha Figure 1 is an elevation of a spinning bait constructed in accordance with my invention and shown attached to the fishing-line. Fig. 1 illustrates a modification of Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is an elevation of same, taken at right an les to Fig. 1 and looking from left to right in t at figure. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the frame composing one of the parts of the bait and shown attached to the fishing-line; and Fig. 4, an elevation of, the helical spinner, shown detached from the said frame.
I rovide a skeleton frame a I), made, preferab y, of metallic wire and somewhat after the fashion of an ordinary safety-pin-that is to say, with the wire bent into aneye at 0, Figs. 1 and 1 forming the spring for the two legs a and b, and into a coil d and catch e at the end of the leg I), the end of the leg 0. being adapted to take into this catch e when the frame is closed to ether. The legs a and b are bent or shape so as to fit on either side of the helical spinner f when the latter is inserted between them, and the legs a and b are brought together and held in that position by the end of the leg a taking into the catch a on the leg I), as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Sheet-metal 'aws or blades 9 and it may be attached to t e legs a, and b, respectively, the edges of the said jaws or blades being sha ed so as to fit approximately against the surf of the helical spinner f in order to hold the latter firmly in position in the frame when the same is closed up. The helical spinner f may be retained in a central positiondoy means of the fin Z, which engages with the notch m on the said spinner, Fig. 4, said fin being formed by a narrow tongue formed at the end of the blade h and bent at right an- The eye 0 at one end of the frame forms a double ring (either vertical, as in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, or horizontal, as in Fig. 1 through which the fishing-line i is passed, as shown,
subi ect of the King of Great Britain, residing and the coil (1 forms an eye at the other end of the frame through which the hook end of the line i is passed.
n is a shot or other protuberance on the line i, which serves to revent the hooks from sliding up" into thes releton frame.
It will be understood that the line i need not be threaded through the eyes'c and d in order to place it in position, as it is readily inserted by passing it in between and round the convolutions of the coil before the helical spinner f is inserted; but, if. referred, the end of the fishing-line i may e attached permanently to the eye 0 and the hooks to the lower end or other part of the frame a I); but I prefer to pass the line i through the eyes 0 and d, as shown, so as to leave the spinning bait free to slide on the line under certain circumstances to be hereinafter explained.
The helical spinners 1i may be made of an suitable material-suc as sheet metal or ce luloid, for exampleand they may beof various colors, so that a fisherman can easily change the character of his bait to suit requirements, and this he can do without removin the frame a b from the line i by simply ta ring the end of the leg a out of the catch 6, thus allowing the frame to sprin open. He can then remove the spinner f an put in another of a different color. Then by closing the frame and passing the end of the leg (1 into the catch e the operation is completed, and the bait is again ready for use.
It will be understood that the spinning bait is free to revolve by reason of its connection in the usual way with the swivel is.
B as a ove describ and shown the following advantages over the ordinary spinning baits are realized. The strain exerted by the fisherman in playing the fish is always on the line and hook and not on the bait. The attachment of the skeleton frame to the fishing-line is such that on a fish being hooked the frame is ejected from thefishs mouth and slides up the line, the hook onlyremainin in his mouth, thus preventing the loss of the fis which often occursfrom the bait being used by the fish as a lever in his mouth to free the hook. The skeleton frame is attached to the fishing-line without tying of any kind and is keptautomatically in its proper position. Spinners of different colors can be inserted into the frame with great ease and rapidity, thus enabling a fisherman to try baits of different colors until he finds the color best suited to attract fish without the trouble and annoyance caused by constant untying and tying on fresh bait. The spinners can be adapted so as to combine perfect s inning action with great attractiveness, an they are of such a shape and character that they fit into one another, so that a great number, even of the largest size, can be carried in the ocket, and as they have not hooks attached they cause the fisherman no inconvenience. The skeleton frame enables spinners constructed of delicate materials, such as more or less transparent celluloid, to be used because the greater part of the strain is confined t0 the frame, which latter also helps to preserve the shape of the spinner when inserted into it. The possibility thus aflorded of using this delicate more or less transparent material enables a bait to be provided that may be colored, so as to be visible to fish even when it is situated between them and the light-as, for example, when the bait is over their heads in the water-which is not the case With the ordinary spinning baits,
made of metal or colored opaque material.
1. A spinnin bait which consists of a helical s inner an a skeleton frame comprising two inged members adapted to be opened and closed and to receive and hold the said helical spinner, substantiall as described.
2'. In a s inning bait of t e kind described a skeleton ame comprising hinged members having the jaws or blades 9, h, and having an eye at each end, substantially as described.
3. In a spinning Bait of the kind described, a separable frame, andia helical blade removably held by said separable frame, substantially as described' 1 In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
