(under subclass 42) Lures with movable body parts or attracting means which are actuated by a surge of the fishing line and which are biased to return to their original position when the line is given slack.
(1) Note. The biasing means must be in addition to the natural resilience of parts and may be afforded by springs, buoyant members, etc. It does not include mere gravity return of pivoted or flexible parts except when there is a relatively movable connection between the line and the part or between the part and a return weight.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
42.03, for constant line pull actuated parts which are shifted to and fro by a vane which is turned at each shift to oppose the fluid current prevailing in the changed direction of the lure, and thus returned to its previous position, where it is again opposed as the lure again changes direction.
42.11+, 42.19+, 42.46, and 42.51, for baits having vanes effective to cause rotation when the lure is drawn through water. The vanes may comprise the entire lure or part thereof or be rigidly attached thereto.
42.22, for rudder type vanes which may be attached in more than one relation to the body to give the lure a different course through the water.
42.47, for rudder type vanes rigidly attached to solid body baits to influence the path taken through the water in response to a pull on the line.
