Fly Fishing Patents : Fishing line accessory systems, methods, and apparatuses

Fishing line accessory systems, methods, and apparatuses for securing strike indicators, bobbers, floats, weights, and other accessories to a fishing line include a primary coupling component and a secondary threaded coupling component. At least one of the coupling components has a gap defined therein. At least one of the coupling components has at least one fishing accessory connected or connectable thereto. The secondary coupling component is matable with the primary coupling component such that the gap is obstructed when the coupling components are in a mating relationship. A fishing line that is captured by the coupling components in an adjustably secure relationship can be adjusted without completely disengaging the threaded coupling components.

I'm guessing that this is the Airlock Indicator patent.

Valley angler invents device to easily test for wader holes

The set-up of the Wader Inflator is simple: The waders are harnessed by a clamp at the upper end to seal them; then a vacuum is attached to the inside of the waders to blow air in. Once the waders are filled up with air, a fisherman can spray water on them — front, back sideways — to see where the leak is. Lefgren usually uses chalk to mark the spot and then uses a special UV glue to seal the hole.
