A fish and game device is disclosed. An example fish and game device includes a central tubing portion, an absorbent material provided around at least a portion of the central tubing portion, and a mesh material provided over the absorbent material. The mesh material retains the absorbent material adjacent the central tubing portion. A scent on the absorbent material may be released through the mesh material into a surrounding environment to attract fish or wildlife.

The barbless safety fishhook is a fishhook that is designed to keep a fish on the fishhook without the use of a barb. The barbless safety fishhook uses constant tension maintained on the fishing line to move the captured fish to a V shaped valley where the fish is secured. In addition, the barbless safety fishhook is fitted with three rubber brakes that prevent the fish from sliding towards the fishhook tip after capture. The barbless safety fishhook comprises a hook and a spring lock.

A hook, fishhook, or fishing spear with at least one barb fixed to the hook, fishhook, or fishing spear with an epoxy that disbonds upon the application of an electric current. Components of the barb and the hook, fishhook, or fishing spear form a loop of electrically conductive material that carries a current induced by the application of a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator external to the hook, fishhook, or fishing spear. A current may be generated to disband the barb from the hook, fishhook, or fishing spear in order to facilitate the removal of the hook, fishhook, or fishing spear from an impaled fish.

A fishing lure and method of casting are disclosed. In one aspect, a lure assembly includes a fishing hook having an eyelet and a bend separated by a shank, the bend terminating at a point separated from the shank by a gape. The lure assembly further includes a hook appurtenance attached to the fishing hook and positioned past the bend generally aligned with the shank of the fishing hook. The hook appurtenance includes an ergonomic mass forming a resilient structure for gripping by a person, the ergonomic mass having a size smaller than a gape of the hook to avoid interfering with operation of the fishing hook.

The present invention is a fish hook and chuck combination. Said fish hook having a barbed tip on its distal end leading to a hooked portion. Said hooked portion leading to a substantially shank at a proximal end of said fish hook. Said proximal end removably clasped between at least two collets of a chuck, wherein said at least two collets being separated by evenly spaced longitudinal slits in said chuck. Wherein said proximal end is held between said at least two collets, wherein an axial force for retaining said proximal end within said at least two collets may be enhanced or reduced by varying a width of said slits using a reciprocally moving sleeve, said sleeve encircling an exterior of said at least two collets.

A functional ornamentation manufactured from a stamped metal plate which is twisted by a specified number of degrees to result in a shape that allows for unique reactions to flowing fluids such as air and water. Due to the shape and twist of the device, the device will spin along with the flowing fluid or when pulled through that fluid, such that it retains a straight trajectory. In a preferred embodiment, such as part of a fishing lure, the ornamentation is connected to a ball bearing swivel which allows for near frictionless rotation. The lure when drawn through the water travels in a straight path, rather than an arced path of the prior art. This results in a more natural travel path producing greater flash and rotation for attacking fish.
