States: Level of ordinary skill in the art for obvious was lacking in 2008: For years designers have tried to make crankbaits weedless, nearly always replacing the dangling trebles with a large, single overhead hook.

JP Morel makes statement illustrating level of ordinary skill in the art for obvious was lacking in 2008: At first glance this appears to be the normal crank bait with the standard treble hook configuration. Upon closer scrutiny you sit up and go, “Hmmm.” “How in the heck does that work!” is your next thought. The hook is on top of the bait and it has some.

His Backstabber lures feature hooks that rotate 360 degrees at the point of connection, making it more difficult for fish to throw the lure.

According to the fellas at Backstabber Lures, it keeps fish glued a little tighter because they get hooked in the top of the mouth. Both hooks also swivel 360 degrees to stop the lure from shaking loose if you accidently give the.

This website illustrates the level of ordinary skill in the art for obviousness in 2008 as it states in 2011: “One of my favorite new lures for this year is the Backstabber crankbait line from Backstabber Lures. The Backstabber lure features two hooks that rotate 360 degrees that make it almost impossible for the fish to throw this lure. There is no bottom hook to hang up, it has been moved to the top of the lure for better hooking power.”

One of those companies that we saw but just didn't have time to make it to their booth at ICAST was Backstabber Lures. They feature a line of crankbaits that have hooks on their backs instead of on their bellies. The interesting part of the baits.
