ABSTRACT:
A novel multi-function fishing sinker embodying compact and simple means for locking circumventingly and captively yet freely slidable, to any point between the extremities of the line supporting the heavy weight of a downrigger. The lock is rotarily operated by a torque lever which is an extension of a centrally located threaded cylinder and doubles as a hitch for attachment of the trailing portion of a trolling line. Besides being a sinker, by incorporating the above mentioned functions said sinker enables converting the commonly used downrigger heavy weight--supporting line into a taut, deep reaching guide line, down which, after attachment of the sinker to the guide line and attachment of the trolling line to the hitch on the sinker, as above mentioned, the sinker, upon being released will carry the trolling line and lure down to the chosen trolling depth, which is the level of the heavy weight, upon which the sinker will come to rest, and remain there after the trolling line is pulled free from the sinker, as by a fish. As more fish are caught, one by one the more sinkers will collect one by one in a stack on top of the heavy weight holding the guide wire taut. When the stack has grown to a practical maximum number of sinkers, they, the guideline and the heavy weight tethered to it will be retrieved into the boat.
Thus, the heavy weight and its supporting line, now a guide line only, need be retrieved (from great depth) to attach the trolling line as in the prior art. Instead the frequency of that cumbersome laborious operation, through use of this novel multi-purpose stacking sinker, is reduced probably to only once for every dozen or more fish caught by use of this invention.
