Side Planing bobber

Abstract

The prospective invention is a side planing bobber, when attached to the users fishing line, the said invention will side plane out to the right or left from a straight line on the water when trolling by the user.

Claims

1. A side planing bobber comp comprising. A floatation shell with canted front A planing blade A planing flap A line clamp And line eyelets

2. The side planing bobber of claim 1, said floatation shell with a canted front is buoyant and the supporting the structure of the said bobbers make up.

3. The side planing bobber of claim 2, wherein said planing blade will cause said bobber to deflect outward from a straight line because of the water pressure against said blade when trolling.

4. The side planing bobber of claim 3, wherein said planing flap function is to compensate for the weight and drag of the lure when trolling. The water pressure against said flap will force the rear of said bobber upwards to a level plain on the waters surface.

5. The side planing bobber of claim 4, wherein said line clamps function is to hold said bobber at a desired position on the fishing line.

6. The side planing bobber of claim 5, wherein said line eyelets function is to guide and support said bobber on a fishing line.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] FIGS. 1 through 3 is a perspective top angle view showing the different configurations of the present invention

[0010] FIG. 4 is a perspective side view of the line clamp of the present invention.

[0011] FIG. 5 is a perspective side view of the line eyelets on the present invention.

[0012] FIG. 6 is a front view of the present invention

[0013] An explanation of the drawings in which similar characters denote similar elements throughout the several views.

[0014] FIGS. 1 through 3 illustrate a side planing bobber which comprises of flotation shell 3, planing blade 5, planing flap 7, line clamp 21, and line eyelets 9.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 through 3, referenced characters 5 and referenced characters 9 vary in location and number while their function and use remain the same. The flotation shell 3 is the buoyant and supporting structure to which all referenced characters are attached as shown in FIGS. 1 through 2 the term, forward or front, is to the right in all the drawings as viewed. Now as shown in FIG. 1.

[0016] The side planing bobber 10 is installed on the fishing line, thus the said line is installed through front eyelet 9, then to line clamp 21, and out through rear eyelet 9, where the said line is attached to a lure. Now when trolling, the water pressure against planing blade 5 will cause an outward defection of said bobber and said line, and in the same space of time, the upward water pressure against planing flap 7 will compensate for the weight and water drag of a fishing lure, and keep said bobber on a level plane with the water surface.

[0017] In FIGS. 1 and 2, the side planing bobber 10 as shown, will side plane outward to the left from a straight line. Now to have said bobber side plane outward to the right from a straight line requires the user to remove planing blade 5 from blade slot A and reinstall the same in blade slot B. This can be attained because planing blade 5 is removable and is shown in FIG. 3. Now to FIG. 6, which depicts a view of blade slots A and B as shown in a front view of flotation shell 3 of said bobber.

[0018] And now to FIG. 2, should the user set the said bobber to plane left, the user would then thread the fishing line through the right front line eyelet 9, then to line clamp 21, then to the left rear line eyelet 9 and through to the lure.

[0019] Now should the user set the said bobber to plane right, the user would then thread the fishing line through the left front line eyelet 9 on to line clamp 21, then to the right rear line eyelet 9, and then out to the lure. Therefore, the said bobber would be on the said line at an angle, thus creating a side planing movement when trolled by user.

[0020] FIG. 1 arrowed character lead line 21, denotes a side view of line clamp 21, as illustrated in FIG. 4 and is shown in a closed position. Clamp rod 27 passes through clamp housing 21, through clamp spring 25, and is attached to clamp button 23, now when clamp button 23 is depressed in the tidirecon shown by arrowed character lead line 23, clamp spring 25, collapses and clamp rod 27 moves out to an open position, as illustrated by dotted lines shown in FIG. 4.

[0021] FIG. 5 is a side view of line eyelets 9 and how the said eyelets appear and are installed on the side planing bobber 10. Now in this same FIG. 5 as shown, the upper line eyelet 9, with the arrow, is to indicate where the fishing line can be slid down between the two half loops of the said eyelet when installing said bobber to the said line by the user. And now to remove the said bobber from the said line by the user, the said line is slid up and out from between the two half loops of the line eyelet 9, therefore the side planing bobber 10, can be installed anyplace on the fishing line without having to cut or sever the said line.

[0022] Now to the above, there will be no further discussion at this time of the drawings or the inventions usage.

[0023] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized then, for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and manner of operation, assembly, and use. Therefore, there is no desire to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, all suitable modifications may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
