Abstract

The invention relates to a fishing lure-fishing line connection system for connecting a fishing line to a fishing lure, wherein at least three eyelets are provided on a weight body. A hanging weight eyelet is provided for attaching a hanging weight, a fishing lure eyelet is provided for attaching a fishing lure, in particular in the form of an artificial lure, and a fishing line eyelet is provided for attaching a fishing line. The eyelets are stationary relative to one another. The hanging weight eyelets and the fishing lure eyelet are configured as open quick-release eyelets which are self-locking to prevent unintentional unhooking, and wherein the weight body is arranged between the fishing lure eyelet and the fishing line eyelet.

Claims (17)

1 . A fishing lure-fishing line connection system for connecting a fishing line to a fishing lure, comprising:

at least three eyelets provided on a weight body, wherein the eyelets include a hanging weight eyelet provided for attaching a hanging weight, a fishing lure eyelet provided for attaching a fishing lure, and a fishing line eyelet provided for attaching a fishing line,

wherein the eyelets are stationary relative to one another,

wherein the hanging weight eyelet and the fishing lure eyelet are configured as open quick-change eyelets which are self-locking to prevent unintentional unhooking, and

wherein the weight body is arranged between the fishing lure eyelet and the fishing line eyelet.

2 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the eyelets are formed from wire.

3 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 2 , wherein the eyelets are formed from a single wire guided through the weight body, wherein the fishing line eyelet is configured as a closed eyelet.

4 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 3 , wherein the free end of the wire forming the hanging weight eyelet and/or the free end of the wire forming the fishing lure eyelet is bent towards the fixed end, so that the gap formed is narrower than the material of an eyelet of a hanging weight and/or fishing lure to be hooked in.

5 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 2 , wherein the free end of the wire forming the hanging weight eyelet is bent towards the fixed end, so that the gap formed is narrower than the material of an eyelet of a hanging weight to be hooked in.

6 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 2 , wherein the free end of the wire forming the fishing lure eyelet is bent towards the fixed end, so that the gap formed is narrower than the material of an eyelet of a fishing lure to be hooked in.

7 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 6 , wherein the free end of the wire forming the hanging weight eyelet is bent towards the fixed end, so that the gap formed is narrower than the material of an eyelet of a hanging weight to be hooked in.

8 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the fishing lure is in the form of an artificial lure.

9 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 8 , wherein the artificial lure is a rubber bait.

10 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the eyelets are formed from a single wire, one free end of the wire forming the hanging weight eyelet and another free end of the wire forming the fishing lure eyelet.

11 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 10 , wherein the fishing lure eyelet is a turning point in the single wire.

12 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 10 , wherein the weight body is positioned between the fishing lure eyelet and the free ends of the wire.

13 . The fishing lure-fishing line connection system according to claim 10 , wherein the single wire is guided through the weight body.
