ABSTRACT:
A diver body portion has a flexible link with a pole line connected between the ends thereof. The flexible link is connected to the top surface of the body adjacent the forward and rearward ends, a rearward connection comprising a pair of connecting points for diverging portions of the flexible link to stabilize the rearward portion of the diver when it is subjected to water current. The body portion is buoyant, with the principal buoyant portion being at the rearward end whereby the diver will rise to the surface with the rearward end pointed upwardly when there is no tension on the fish line. The front connection for the flexible link comprises a rearwardly facing flexible link that is releasable by a force being applied in a direction opposite from the fish line, such as when a fish strikes the bait line, such releasing action neutralizing diving effects of the diver. A weight is slidably mounted on a longitudinal rod at the bottom of the body portion and assists in diving and retrieving actions. The body portion has a wedge shape as viewed from the side and also has side wing portions intermediate the forward and rearward ends contributing to a stabilized movement in the water.
