Gliding Fishing Lure

US Patent:
4845883, Jul 11, 1989
Filed:
Jun 23, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/211215
Inventors:
Alexander G. Langer - Jamaica Plain MA
International Classification:
A01K 9708
US Classification:
43 42
Abstract:
A fishing lure made of a soft, non-rigid material shaped and weighted to glide in water is provided. Weights precisely blance the lure to produce the glide and to stabilize deflection of the lure caused by any tendency of the soft, non-rigid material to deflect. A hook for catching fish is attached to the lure and provides the means for connecting the lure to a fishing line controlled by a fisherman.

Pliable Spinning Appendages And Attachments For Fishing Lures

US Patent:
7895789, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Jun 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/472821
Inventors:
Alexander G. Langer - Boston MA, US
International Classification:
A01K 85/12
US Classification:
43 4211, 43 4228, 43 4215, 43 4209
Abstract:
Soft or pliable spinning appendages can be attached to any fishing lure, hard or soft, using a swivel mechanism that provides unrestricted 360° rotation. The appendages increase attractiveness, flash, vibration, color, or scent. Due to their slow spinning speed and neutral buoyancy in water, the appendages provide unique properties to slow-moving lures not possible with prior art hard blades. A weedless swivel mechanism is also provided.

Method And Apparatus For Locating Fish

US Patent:
5483767, Jan 16, 1996
Filed:
Jul 13, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/090813
Inventors:
Alexander G. Langer - Jamaica Plain MA
International Classification:
A01K 8500
US Classification:
43 4
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of fish and other underwater objects includes a fish attractor and an underwater sensor assembly coupled to the fish attractor. The underwater sensor assembly measures and senses under water factors related to fish catching conditions proximate the lure. The sensor assembly transmits signals corresponding to such factors to an above water circuit which provides an output signal.

Fishing Line And Reel

US Patent:
5546695, Aug 20, 1996
Filed:
Apr 4, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/416502
Inventors:
Alexander G. Langer - Jamaica Plain MA
International Classification:
A01K 9100
US Classification:
43 4498
Abstract:
A fishing reel for receiving signals from an underwater sensor assembly includes a housing having a receiver disposed therein. The fishing reel receiver is adapted to recieve signals from under water sensors which provide data related to fish catching conditions proximate a fish attractor such as a lure. The fishing reel further includes a transmitter which transmits signals to an output module. A fishing line is provided having an inner line for transmission of electrical signals disposed within an outer line.

Fishing Lure

US Patent:
5511335, Apr 30, 1996
Filed:
Jul 13, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/090922
Inventors:
Alexander G. Langer - Jamaica Plain MA
International Classification:
A01K 8500
US Classification:
43 4
Abstract:
A fishing lure for detecting the presence of fish includes a fish attractor and an underwater sensor assembly coupled to the fish attractor. The underwater sensor assembly measures and senses underwater environmental characteristics related to fish catching conditions proximate the lure. The sensor assembly transmits signals corresponding to such factors to an above water circuit which provides an output signal.
