Variable Weight Cast-Mold Fishing Jig

Abstract

This invention is a way of making a cast-mold jig used in angling that allows the angler to change the weight of the jig by adding and removing weights to and from the jig. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate two different ways of making a cast-mold jig that can accommodate removable weights. The example implementations depicted by FIGS. 1 and 2 show the embodiments of Claim 1 specifically with arrow items 1, 2, 11, 13. All other arrows are for contextual purposes.

Claims

1. Any part of a cast-mold jig which can be used to attach removable weights—excluding embellishments and adornments added to attract fish. Claim 1 is not limited to the preferred designs illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.

2. The design and implementation of the customized depression in a jig mold which allows the jig mold either to be capable of accepting and accommodating a jig-hook that implements claim 1 and/or to form the casting material into a shape which implements claim 1.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PREFERRED DESIGN OF INVENTION

[0015] FIG. 1: Claim 1 is implemented by designing a jig-hook with attachment points to accommodate removable weights such as crimp-style weights. [0016] Items in FIG. 1 which facilitate the implementation of claim 1: [0017] a. Extended lengths of hook in both directions from the jig along the central axis of the hook. These parts of the hook can be used as attachment points of a crimp-style weight. [0018] b. A bevel-textured surface to help the weights stay attached and in a fixed position [0019] c. An end bevel to help keep the weights in a fixed position on the hook

[0020] FIG. 2: Claim 1 is implemented by molding the casting material in a jig mold in such a way that the jig can accept removable weights such as a heavy-weighted wire, which can then be twisted or otherwise attached to the casting material
