ABSTRACT:
A fishing sinker apparatus is disclosed for a Texas rig-type fishing lure wherein an eyelet portion of a hook at the end of a fishing line is embedded proximate a head of the lure and a pointed portion of the hook is embedded proximate a tail of the lure. The apparatus includes a convexly tapered weight member having a narrow leading portion, a broad trailing portion and an axial opening that extends through the weight from the leading portion to the trailing portion. There is a screw element attached to the trailing portion of the weight member. The screw element includes a central shaft portion that extends axially from the trailing portion and an elongate thread wound about the shaft portion and interengaging the shaft portion for a majority of the length of the thread. An elongate conduit extends axially through the central shaft and into the axial opening of the weight member for slidably receiving the fishing line and anchoring the screw element to the weight member. The screw element has a length and diameter that permit the screw element and the weight member to release from the lure when the eyelet of the hook is pulled against the screw such that the sinker is slidable along the fishing line.
