A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018

A Slotted Ball/Cylinder Clevis for Fishing Lures 01 16 2018

This would be a clevis that is either a ball or a cylinder with a slot in it.  The spinning blade would fit into that slot which is affixed on the side of the ball cylinder.  And those two items would be fitted over and onto the wire shaft of the lure; the hole in the spinner blade aligned with to and over the wire shaft.

Also there could be more than one slot for the accommodation of more than one spinning blade.

Novel interpretations could include a collar that fits over the top to make the blades interchangeable by the user after completion.  Such that the hole in the blade fits over the top eyelet screw.

The ball/cylinder could be made from nylon or metal, or other materials with the appropriate material strength parameters.

There could be some slack in the slot in order to facilitate a rattle in conjuction with the blade spinning attraction.

And the downward angle of the slot could be chosen so that different degrees of spin are fixed.  Most likely 45 degrees.

The purpose of the invention is to assure that the spinner blade is always spinning during fishing retrieve.

The invention could also include an arm extending from the ball/cylinder with a secure clasp and over-mold to the tip of the spinner blade that has the "eyelet hole" in it.

Patent/ process to be applied for when funded.
