ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for protecting and prolonging the functional life-span of artificial fishing lures comprising a tubular body having a cylindrical portion integrally connected to a conically tapered portion which tapers radially inwardly to define an orifice. A bayonet styled slot is defined in the wall of said cylindrical portion and extends a predetermined distance from said open end toward said orifice. The bayonet slot is comprised of a longitudinal portion, an annular portion and a notch. The longitudinal portion may instead be a helical portion helically oriented along the wall of said cylindrical portion. A fishing line is threaded through the orifice in the conically tapered portion, then through a weight, then tied to an eyelet on a hook which is attached to a lure. The combination of weight, hook and lure is then concomitantly urged into said tubular body such that the weight frictionally engages the internal surface of the conically tapered portion. The hook is received in or guided by the bayonet slot and is captured within the tubular body by pushing it into the annular portion of the bayonet slot then slightly turning it so that it will extend from the notch. An adhesive is applied to the external surface of the weight for enhancing the securement thereof to the internal surface of the conically tapered portion.
