ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises an improved fishing sinker device which includes an elongate flattened body having a central longitudinal aperture to slideably receive a fishing line therethrough, and a slot-like aperture at one end of the body of the sinker to receive and releaseably retain the eye and shaft of a fishing hook used in conjunction with the sinker device of the invention. The elongate flattened configuration of the preferred embodiment of the sinker device provides a cam action to properly position a fishing hook retained in the slot-like aperture of the sinker for setting the point of the hook in the mouth of a fish, and the retention of the hook within the slot-like aperture of the sinker will be released upon attempts by a fish to throw the hook, removing the weight of the sinker from the hook and reducing the probability of withdrawal of the hook from the mouth of the fish. A first alternative embodiment of the sinker device of the invention, in which the body and the hook aperture are radially symmetrical, and a second alternative embodiment, in which the invention further includes a spinner bait lure form, are additionally provided.
