INDICATOR WITH INTERNAL ATTACHMENT MECHANISM
A strike indicator and strike indicator tooling assembly for use in fishing. The strike indicator comprises two hemispheres that may form a substantially spherical outer dimension around fishing line. The two hemispheres may fit frictionally together to prevent movement or slipping of the fishing line between the two hemispheres once assembled. The hemispheres may be disassembled to replace the fishing line, and reuse the strike indicator. The tooling assembly comprises a top insert, and a bottom insert. The top insert and bottom insert compress around a foam sheet to form the spherical outer form figures of the two hemispheres.
Fishing swivel
A fishing swivel for connecting a main fishing line and a leader is provided. The fishing swivel includes a first connecting portion connected with the main line, a second connecting portion connected with the leader, and a main body rotatably coupled to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion has a first contact portion that contacts the main body, the second connecting portion has a second contact portion that contacts the main body, and the main body has a main body contact portion that contacts the first contact portion and the second contact portion. A plating layer containing fluororesin is provided on surfaces of the first contact portion, the second contact portion, and the main body contact portion.

BOBBER STOPS FOR FISHING
The disclosure features bobber stops that include a hinged body having two symmetrical halves divided by a hinge, each half including (a) a pair of line-receiving grooves, the grooves being arranged such that when the hinged body is in a closed position opposed grooves define a closed line-receiving bore, and (b) a region disposed between the grooves that is configured to clamp the line when the body is in the closed position; and a clasp configured to secure the body in the closed position and allow the body to be moved to an open position by a user.
AUTOMATED AND ACCURATE FISHING TACKLE CASTING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE
Fishing tackle casting device mounts to fishing rod for casting fishing lure including housing having a groove, and a trigger mechanism including a U-shaped rod. The fishing tackle casting device mounts to the handle or fishing pole of the fishing rod. The fishing rod includes a line reel having line drawn from a line reel along the fishing pole. Line includes a fishing lure that locks to U-shaped rod through a groove causing the fishing pole to bend and store energy. The fishing pole may direct toward targeted area and the trigger mechanism actuation releases the fishing lure from U-shaped rod through the groove causing tension release of bent fishing pole, making fishing lure and line travel to targeted area. The trigger mechanism includes trigger support mechanism for connecting line from the line reel and helps control speed/release of tension on the line when the fishing lure is cast.

PLANAR BOARD WITH MAGNETIC FISHING RELEASE
A planer board assembly, including an elongated structural portion having a leading end and a trailing end, a first magnetic portion affixed to the trailing end and defining a permanent magnet at least partially encased in a first nonmagnetic housing, and a second magnetically attractive portion defining a magnetically attractive material at least partially encased in a second nonmagnetic housing. A length of fishing line connects the first magnetic portion to the second magnetically attractive portion. A clip is connected to the second magnetically attractive portion. A spring-biased tattle flag has a first end connected to the trailing end and a second end, wherein the spring-biased tattle flag is biased to extend the second end away from the planer board in a deployed orientation. The second end may be engaged between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetically attractive portion in an undeployed orientation.
