ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to stink bait and in particular to saving the stink bait product to use again and in turn creating monetary savings for the fisherman.
2. Prior Art
When a fisherman uses stink bait to fish for this type of bait loving fish, as to Catfish, the fisherman has to throw away the bait at the end of that day's fishing time, be it one hour or one day.
An extensive patent search was done and no other patent used the idea of saving the stink bait, with no mess or smell, for the next fishing trip.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The principal object of this invention is to save the fisherman money by reusing the stink bait.
It also is an object of the present invention to provide such a container, which is of simple and inexpensive construction.
Another object is to provide such a container in a lightweight form that can be reassembled quickly and easily at the end of the fishing day and stored in the tackle box for a future fishing trip.
A further object is to provide such a container, which will increase the numbers of fishermen using stink bait, because of the economical advantage of reusing stink bait and storing scent free.
Another advantage of this container is that it is made of plastic and will not pollute, if recycled, the environment at the end of the usage.
The foregoing objects can be accomplished by providing a container that can be suspended on a line over the side of the boat that can be brought back up at the end of the fishing day, resealed in another container that fits over the stink bait container and screws into the same lid. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the stink bait is put into the inside container that has slots in the sides and small holes in the bottom. This container is then screwed onto the lid that has two sets of threads on the inside and an eye in the top to attach the line that is used to suspend the container over the side of the boat, dock, or tree limb. This container is made of semi-rigid (sturdy) plastic so that it will not crack or tear if motion of water hits container against the rocks. Upon taking the container, with the bait, out of the water you would immediately put the outer container over the bait container and screw into the outer threads (2
nd
set of threads), in the lid that the bait container is already attached, thus sealing the scent and retaining the consistency of bait until next fishing trip.
