Fishing lure connector
View Patent ↗The present invention is a fishing lure connector that traps a portion of fishing line inside a threaded male/female connection between a pole side base and a lure side base.
1. A fishing lure connector comprising:
a pole side base and a lure side base, wherein said lure side base is attached to a fishing lure comprising a hook, wherein said pole side base and lure side base are configured to connect by a male/female threaded connection, and trap a length of fishing line between a male threaded member of said threaded connection and a female threaded socket of said threaded connection, wherein said pole side base comprises a fishing line entry hole having a length both defined between opposing ends of the fishing line entry hole and extending along a longitudinal axis of said pole side base, a fishing line exit hole having a length both defined between opposing ends of the fishing line exit hole and extending along said longitudinal axis of said pole side base, said male threaded member, a first circumferential flange extending therearound, and a fishing line stabilizer, said fishing line stabilizer is at a distal end of said male threaded member, such that said length of fishing line is trapped when said fishing line is passed through said fishing line entry hole starting at an orifice of said fishing line entry hole which is at one end of said opposed ends of said fishing line entry hole furthest from said male threaded member, stabilized in said fishing line stabilizer, and passed back through said fishing line exit hole starting at an orifice of said fishing line exit hole which is at one end of said opposed ends of said fishing line exit hole closest to said male threaded member, and mating said male threaded member with said female threaded socket, further wherein said lure side base comprises said female threaded socket and a second circumferential flange extending therearound, wherein said first and second circumferential flanges are configured to engage with each other at opposing faces thereof when said male/female threaded connection is made.
2. The fishing lure connector of claim 1 wherein said fishing line stabilizer comprises at least one of a slot and a hole.
3. The fishing lure connector of claim 1 wherein said pole side base comprises a female threaded socket, and wherein said lure side base comprises a male threaded member.
4. The fishing lure connector of claim 1 wherein said threaded connection comprises a ridge and groove connection.
5. The fishing lure connector of claim 3 wherein said pole side base comprises at least one fishing line stabilizer.
6. The fishing lure connector of claim 5 wherein said at least one fishing line stabilizer comprises at least one of a slot and a hole.
