US Patent 11871738 Hook alignment device

Methods for aligning a fishing hook to a fishing lure are disclosed herein. The fishing hook may be attached to the fishing lure either directly or with the use of a connector components. The fishing hook may be aligned such that the longitudinal axis of the hook is inline with or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fishing lure. The alignment may be secured via an encasing method, where the lure, connector components, and hook are secured by wrapping the connection mechanisms to limit movement of the hook relative to the lure. In other embodiments, the alignment may be secured via a woven method, where the connection mechanisms are secured by interweaving a rigid but pliable member through each connection mechanism component.
