Abstract

Lure apparatus for fishing and associated methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the lure apparatus includes (1) a head portion; (2) a tail portion; and (3) an optional weight portion. The head portion and the tail portion are operably engaged. The head portion has a center opening, which enables a fishing line or wire to pass through. The optional weight portion is positioned inside the head portion to adjust the weight of the overall lure apparatus. The head portion has two side openings. The tail portion has two arms, each of which has a protrusion configured to be positioned in a corresponding one of the two side openings of the head portion. Once the two protrusions are positioned in the side openings, the two protrusions engage with the head portion and restrain the tail portion from moving relatively to the head portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a head portion;   a weight portion positioned adjacent to the head portion and configured to adjust a weight of the apparatus; and   a tail portion configured to releasably engage the head portion;   wherein the head portion has at least one opening configured to receive at least one protrusion of the tail portion.   
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion is positioned at an inside of the head portion. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion is positioned at an outside of the head portion. 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion is positioned partially inside the head portion. 
     
     
         24 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion is formed as a cuboid. 
     
     
         25 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion includes a circular opening at a center of the weigh portion. 
     
     
         26 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion includes an outer surface having multiple side surfaces. 
     
     
         27 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , wherein the multiple side surfaces includes four side surfaces. 
     
     
         28 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , wherein the multiple side surfaces includes three side surfaces. 
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , wherein the multiple side surfaces includes five side surfaces. 
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , wherein the multiple side surfaces includes six side surfaces. 
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , wherein the weight portion includes an interior surface configured to fit the outer surface so as to enable the weight portion to be tightly positioned inside the head portion. 
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion has a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         33 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion has a tubular shape. 
     
     
         34 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion includes a fluorescent material. 
     
     
         35 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the weight portion includes an ultraviolet material. 
     
     
         36 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the at least one opening includes first and second openings, and wherein the at least one protrusion includes first and second protrusions each positioned at a distal end of an arm of the tail portion. 
     
     
         37 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of the head portion and the tail portion includes a fluorescent material or an ultraviolet material. 
     
     
         38 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a head portion having first and second side openings;   a weight portion positioned inside the head portion and configured to adjust a weight of the apparatus; and   a tail portion configured to releasably engage the head portion;   wherein the weight portion includes an outer surface having multiple side surfaces, and   wherein weight portion includes an interior surface configured to fit the outer surface so as to enable the weight portion to be tightly coupled with the head portion.
