It is an object, therefore, of the present invention to provide a fihsing lure which can be made to travel away from the fisherman. The fins provided on the lure will operate during this movement of the lure to tend to cause the lure to move in a straight path away from the fisherman. Before the lure reaches the surface, the fisherman will pay out some fishing line and the curved path of the lure will continue and its momentum will cause the lure to move away from the fisherman as additional line is paid out. The shape and disposition of the planing surfaces is such that the lure will travel in a curved path through the water. The fishing line is attached toward the front ahead of the center of gravity so that when the line is jerked toward the fisherman, the nose of the lure will be pulled upwardly causing the lure to tend to move toward the surface of the water. The device may be made from any suitable material, plastic being the preferred material and it is weighted towards the front end thereof so that it will assume a generally nose-downward orientation in the water and will tend to sink slowly. The device has curved planes or planing surfaces as well as fins to control the direction of its movement through the water. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a lure which can be made to travel away from the fisherman but which does not float upon the surface. Bobbers are good for certain types of fishing but other fishing lures which are disposed beneath the surface at or near the bottom are desirable for other types of fishing. While our previous invention provides a good traveling lure, it is of the bobber type which means that it normally floats on the surface. This device, however, is more accurately a bobber having a positive buoyancy and the device travels away from the fisherman because as the fishing line is pulled toward the fisherman the lure submerges sharply and then when the line is released the buoyancy of the device causes it to ascend to the surface at a more gradual angle than it dives thereby moving farther away from the fisherman than it was initially. 3,401,483 discloses a lure which travels away from the fisherman because of its buoyancy and the weight distribution peculiar thereto. Of those lures which are called traveling lures, our previously issued U.S. Most of such devices are trolling lures with diving planes so oriented that the lure will submerge as it is pulled. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A number of fishing lures are known which are provided with various types of diving planes or peculiar weight distributions so that the lure will obtain a desired position in the water when the lure is pulled through the water. In both embodiments shown herein, the lure normally tends to sink slowly in the water but when the line is jerked sharply, the lure makes a steep ascent in a curved path toward the surface of the water so that when the line is released and allowed to play out, the lure will continue its curved path due to its momentum and will travel away from the fisherman to a distance beyond the initial position from which it was moved to cause its initial motion. The fishing rod and the drag on the reel do the work until you grab the rod and start reeling the fish up.The invention relates to a fishing lure having a planing surface and a particular weight distribution associated with the fishing line attachment, the lure having a slightly negative buoyancy. The red trigger arm will fall out of the way to give you a tangle-free area to fight your fish. The steel trigger shaft will angle down, causing the fishing rod to slide off the post and set the hook in the fish. When a fish bites your bait and starts to swim away, the bobber on the line will come up to the fishing rod and get tight. Engineered to automatically set the hook when a fish begins to swim away, the Automatic Fisherman can be used for catching any species. Constructed from durable plastic with a 22'' ruler imprinted on the side, the Automatic Fisherman Base Unit is designed for use with rods measuring from 24'' to 34'' in length (rod not included). The innovative Automatic Fisherman™ Base Unit combines the convenience of tip-up fishing with the thrill of fighting fish on a jig rod while increasing your catch rate. Designed for use with rods from 24'' to 34'' in length.Combines ease of tip-up fishing with the thrill of fighting fish on a rod.
