       FIELDS OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The disclosure as detailed herein is in the technical field of sports. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the technical field of fishing. Even more specifically, the present disclosure relates to the technical field of bait tackle. 
       DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART 
       [0005]    People who go fishing are often challenged by the need to cut their line multiple times in order to correct weight, hook type, and/or switch bait type in order to achieve success. These adjustments to one&#39;s gear can take considerable time and expense. Fishing gear adjustment challenges exist for those using a weighted single hook bait and tackle device, for those using a variety of weighted tackle devices, and for those who use sliding weights along with a hook. 
         [0006]    Fisher persons must often spend considerable time changing weights and devices as well as cutting and replacing lines. Fisher people often spend significant time and resources purchasing and deploying weighted jigheads in order to fish in a variety of environments and conditions. Fishing people who use plastic lures can utilize both artificial and/or live bait. When a fishing person uses a plastic lure he/she faces the challenges of threading the hook along the curves of the lure; this threading process can often be inaccurate. 
         [0007]    Threading the hook along the curves of the lure often leads to faster expiration of live bait and can decrease the naturalness of the lure. Threading the hook can be a difficult process for inexperienced fisher persons such as children who are learning to fish. Many fisher people prefer a treble hook to a single hook. Using a single hook may lead to losing a fish on the line and the use of a treble hook can lead to a better catch. 
       GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0008]    The bait tackle device makes the process of adjusting one&#39;s fishing gear faster and easier. It allows one to quickly interchange plastic lures as well as quickly appropriate live and/or artificial bait. The bait tackle device allows one to quickly change weights without cutting one&#39;s line. Further, it allows one to use a treble hook which can be used with removable or threadable bait. 
         [0009]    An embodiment of the instant invention allows one to interchange your plastic lures. 
         [0010]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to interchange your live bait very quickly. 
         [0011]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to change weights using the same bait tackle device. 
         [0012]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to change weights without cutting their line. 
         [0013]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to change weights rapidly. 
         [0014]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to use a three barb treble hook to be used with removable/threadable bait. 
         [0015]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to catch more fish. 
         [0016]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to change bait very quickly. 
         [0017]    Yet another embodiment of the invention allows one to change a treble hook with different bait types without cutting their line.

In some embodiments, it is thought that examples of a front attachment  14  may include: balls, beads, floats, an avon float, a bubble float, a dink float, a popper float, a quill float, a self-cocking float, a stick float, pyramid sinkers, barrel or egg sinkers, split-shot sinkers, bullet sinkers, a dipsey, a bank sinker, or a rattle. In some embodiments, it is thought that if the front attachment  14  is absent then the bait may be slid all the way up to the eye on the threading arm  17 . 
         [0043]    After deciding what types of attachments to use, a person may determine the bait type. Bait comprises a physical substance used to attract and catch fish. In some embodiments, it is thought that examples of a bait  24  may include: surface lures, artificial flies, soft plastic baits ( FIG. 2, 8, 9 ), swimbait, a fish decoy, live bait ( FIG. 6 ), or non-living bait ( FIG. 13 ). For example, if a person want to use live bait  24  they may insert the live bait through the insertion point  16  up the longitudinal axis threading arm  17 . If a person wants to use plastic bait they similarly may insert the plastic bait through the insertion point  16  on the longitudinal axis threading arm  17 . 
         [0044]    During threading, preferably, a person will a have a bait that is longer than the minimum bait threading distance  2  ( FIG. 6 ). The minimum bait threading distance  2  comprises a distance defining the position of effective bait on the threading arm  17 , which preferably should be at least as long the length of the hook arm  22 . In other embodiments, however one may be have a bait lower than the minimum distance. Further, a person will preferably have a bait that fits within the hook arm/threading span  5  ( FIG. 9 ). The hook arm/threading span  5  which comprises the distance between the threading arm and the hook arm. 
         [0045]    Spatially, the threading arm  17  ( FIG. 5 ) is preferably positioned below the eye  26  and parallel to the hook arm  22 . The threading arm  17  is mainly thought to be composed of steel, however other embodiments may be composed of any of the following: high carbon steel, steel alloyed with Vanadium, stainless steel, fishing leader wire, or corrosion resistant steel.

The ‘with curves’ embodiment ( FIG. 10 ), has threading with curves  9  which comprises a threading region wherein one or more curves or bumps appears within a portion of the threading region or in other embodiments, at the end of the threading region. 
         [0047]    Spatially, the bait threading region  8  is preferably positioned below the eye  26  and parallel to the hook arm  22 . The bait threading region  8  is mainly thought to be composed of steel, however other embodiments may be composed of any of the following: high carbon steel, steel alloyed with Vanadium, stainless steel, fishing leader wire, or corrosion resistant steel. The bait threading region  8  comprises the portion of the threading arm  17  that surrounds the bait after being inserted through the insertion point  16  and functions to both 1) allow one to interchange plastic lures very quickly and to 2) allow one to interchange live bait very quickly. The bait threading region  8  preferably comprises the insertion point  16 . 
         [0048]    Spatially, the insertion point  16  ( FIG. 7, 11, 12 ) is preferably positioned at the end of the bait threading region  8 . The insertion point  16  comprises the portion of the bait threading region  8  that pokes through bait and is threaded longitudinally through the bait. The insertion point  16  functions to both 1) allow one to thread through soft plastic bait and to 2) allow one to thread through live and non-live bait. 
         [0049]    The second region of the threading arm  17  is the non bait threading region  4  ( FIG. 4 ). Spatially, the non bait threading region  4  is preferably positioned above the bait threading region  8  and below the eye  26 . The non bait threading region  4  comprises the portion of the threading arm  17  that is typically not surrounded by bait, when the bait is on the device. In some embodiments, it is thought that if the non bait threading region  4  is absent then the bait may be slid all the way up to the eye on the threading arm  17 . The non bait threading region  4  preferably comprises the front attachment region  6 . 
         [0050]    Opposite the threading arm  17  is the hook arm  22  ( FIG. 7 ). Spatially, the hook arm  22  is preferably positioned parallel to the threading arm  17  and below the eye  26 . The hook arm  22  is mainly thought to be composed of steel, however other embodiments may be composed of any of the following: high carbon steel, steel alloyed with Vanadium, stainless steel, fishing leader wire, or corrosion resistant steel. The hook arm  22  comprises the portion of the bait tackle device  11  there a hook is attached. The hook arm  22  allows one to use a treble hook with artificial or live bait. It also serves to allow one to change a treble hook with different bait types without cutting their line. Also, the hook arm  22  serves to allow one to use a three barb treble hook to be used with removable/threadable bait. The hook arm  22  preferably comprises the non-hook region  15  and the hook region  19 . The hook arm  22  has multiple alternative embodiments herein termed the ‘right angle’ embodiment, the ‘straight’ embodiment, and the ‘extended arm’ embodiment.

The ‘straight’ embodiment ( FIG. 12 ) is one where the hook arm is straight, with no curves or bumps, ending with the hook eye  21 . The ‘extended arm’ embodiment ( FIG. 14 ) comprises the hook arm  22  wherein the entire hook arm is straight, with no curves or bumps, ending with the hook eye  21  and continues past the hook eye  21  onto an extended hook arm  22 , so that one or more attachments such as spinner may be used. It comprises an extended hook arm eye  26 . The extended hook arm eye  26  comprises the eye on the apical end of the extended hook arm  22  and may include: a ring eye, a ball eye, a brazed eye, a tapered eye, a looped eye, a needle eye, or a spade end. 
         [0052]    The non-hook region ( FIG. 7 ) of the hook arm is preferably positioned below the eye  26  and above the hook region  19 . The non-hook region  15  comprises the portion of the hook region  19  that does not have a hook and has an attachment region. The non-hook region  15  allows one to interchange sinkers very quickly and also interchange various attachments quickly. The non-hook region  15  preferably comprises the non-hook front attachment region  1 . Spatially, the hook region  19  ( FIG. 7 ) is preferably positioned below the non-hook region  15  and comprises the portion of the hook arm  22  that allows one to attach a hook to the device. The hook region  19  preferably comprises the hook eye  21 . 
         [0053]    Typically prior to fishing, a person orients the bait insuch that the dorsal features of the bait are opposite that of the hook arm  22  and while fishing, the modularity of the device allows one to rapidly change tackle arrangements ( FIG. 1 ). For example, if a person wants to change weight on the hook arm  22  a person removes the weight from the hook arm  22  or threading arm  17 . If a person wants to change plastic bait on the threading arm  17 , a person removes plastic bait from the threading arm  17 . Or if a person wants to change live bait on the threading arm  17 , a person removes live bait from the threading arm  17 . Then a person may start at Step  102 .
The bait tackle device makes the process of adjusting one's fishing gear faster and easier. It allows one to quickly interchange plastic lures as well as quickly appropriate live and/or artificial bait. The bait tackle device allows one to quickly change weights without cutting one's line. Further, it allows one to use a treble hook which can be used with removable or threadable bait.
