Abstract
A fishing rig that reduces the likelihood of snags on submerged objects. The fishing rig includes a flexible rod and a retainer secured to the top of the rod. The retainer has a ring for fastening a fishing line to the rig. A float is secured to the rod adjacent the retainer. A sinker is secured to the bottom of the rod. A spreader is secured to the rod between the retainer and the float. The spreader has a pair of outstretched arms, each of which has an outer end with an aperture therein. Two flexible leaders have inside ends that are connected to the ring and have outside ends extending respectively through the apertures. A fishhook is fastened to the outside end of each one of the flexible leaders.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to fishing and, more particularly, to line-attached bodies, hooks, and rigs.
- Most game fish spend a significant portion of their lives feeding near the bottom of a body of water that serves as their home. Successful fisherman put their bait near the bottom since the likelihood of catching fish is greatly increased. Unfortunately, most game fish shy away from open, sandy bottoms that are easily fished by man and other predators. Game fish rather feed in rocky or obstructed areas that afford numerous hiding places from which to spring upon prey. Thus, catching large numbers of fish without losing too much tackle on submerged snags requires a great deal of skill.
- In addition to losing tackle, fishermen loose time dealing with snags. Most will try to free their lures without breaking their fishing line. The effort made is usually proportional to the value of the lure at risk of loss, with expensive lures meriting considerable expenditures of time and manpower. Many altogether dry fishermen will enter the water to retrieve a snagged lure. Of course, losing a lure means that a fisherman must dig into his tackle box and make a time-consuming replacement.
- Since time wasted on retrieving snagged lures is time that is diverted from fishing, some fishermen have proposed “snag-free” rigs for suspending lures at a fixed distance above the bottom of a body of water serving as game fish habitat. These rigs have included complex arrangements of fishhooks, floats, and sinkers, some of which are detachable when placed under great strain as when snagged. Because of their cumbersome nature and cost, these rigs have not seen widespread acceptance by fishermen.
- In light of the problems associated with the known devices for suspending fish bait near the rocky and obstructed bottoms of some water bodies, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a fishing rig of uncomplicated construction and reasonable cost that will suspend a pair of baited fishhooks above a rocky water bottom thereby effectively preventing snags.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a fishing rig of the type described that features a fin-like spreader at its top from each of the opposite ends of which a fishhook is suspended. The spreader is symmetrical so that, when the fishing rig is deployed in a body of water wherein a current flows, the fin will automatically turn to face the current thereby maintaining the maximum distance between the fishhooks for the greatest exposure to game fish that tend to feed while headed upstream.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a fishing rig of the type described that can be deployed by a fisherman at the end of a fishing line with minimal instruction and with no tools whatsoever.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved features and arrangements thereof in a fishing rig for the purposes described that is lightweight in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and dependable in use.
- Briefly, the fishing rig in accordance with this invention achieves the intended objects by featuring a flexible rod and a retainer secured to the top of the rod. The retainer has a ring for fastening a fishing line to the rig. A float is secured to the rod adjacent the retainer. A sinker is secured to the bottom of the rod. A spreader is secured at its midpoint to the rod between the retainer and the float. The spreader has a pair of outstretched arms, each of which is a flat plate having an outer end with an aperture therein. Two flexible leaders have inside ends that are connected to the ring and have outside ends extending respectively through the apertures. A fishhook is fastened to the outside end of each one of the flexible leaders.
- The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
- The present invention may be more readily described with reference to the accompanying drawing that is a side elevational view of a fishing rig in accordance with the present invention deployed in a body of water.
- Referring now to the FIGS., a fishing rig in accordance with the present invention is shown at 10.
Fishing rig 10 includes aflexible rod 12 having aretainer 14 affixed to its top for attachment to afishing line 16. Afloat 18 is attached torod 12adjacent retainer 14 and asinker 20 is affixed to the bottom ofrod 20. Betweenretainer 14 andfloat 18, aspreader 22, having a pair ofoutstretched arms 24, is attached torod 12. One of a pair offishhooks 26 is suspended from each ofarms 24. -
Flexible rod 12 is a nylon filament having a length of about 17 inches (43 cm) and a diameter of about 0.155 inches (0.39 cm). Nylon is not buoyant in water. Nylon, however, is durable and is flexible enough to permitrod 12 to bend somewhat when brought into contact with an underwater obstacle and permitrod 12 to be coiled for the compact storage ofrig 10 in a tackle box. -
Retainer 14 is a brass tube having an outer diameter of about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) and an internal diameter sufficient to snugly receive the top ofrod 12 that is affixed by a suitable adhesive within the bottom ofretainer 14.Retainer 14 is flattened at its top and perforated with ahole 30 to provide an upwardly extendingring 28. By means of a combination snap link and swivel 32 clipped toring 28,fishing line 16 is releasably connected torig 10. -
Float 18 is formed of Styrofoam and has a buoyancy sufficient to retainrod 12 in a substantially vertical orientation when engaged with therocky bottom 34 of a water body. It is not preferred thatfloat 18 have a buoyancy sufficient to causerig 10 to float upon the surface of a body of water or drift in a neutral manner beneath the surface, though the provision of afloat 18 with these characteristics is largely a matter of design choice since it is believed thatrig 18 would catch fish if it was positively or neutrally buoyant. - Float 18 has an oval silhouette when viewed from the side. As is well known, an oval-shaped float does not discourage the feeding of game fish. Furthermore, oval-
shaped float 18 is easy to retrieve, having a maximum diameter of 1.1 inches (2.8 cm) and a length of 2 inches (5 cm), minimizing drag in the water, and is unlikely to catch submerged grasses or debris. - Sinker 20 is a brass dowel having an outer diameter of about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) that bounces and slides easily over rocks and other submerged obstructions. The top of
sinker 20 is provided with alongitudinal bore 36 that is sized to snugly receive the bottom ofrod 12 therein. The bottom ofrod 12 is affixed withinbore 36 by means of a suitable adhesive. Providingsinker 20 with a weight of about 36 grams affordsrig 10 with the ability to sink quickly to the bottom of a body of water yet be retrieved with minimal difficulty. -
Spreader 22 is formed from an elongated strip of high-density polyethylene that measures about: 5.75 inches (14.6 cm) in length, 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) in height, and 0.03 inches (0.08 cm) in thickness. As shown, a pair oflongitudinal slots 38 are provided at the middle ofspreader 22 that define aretaining tab 40 therebetween and further define a pair ofretaining strips 42 betweenslots 38 and the top and bottom ofspreader 22. By deformingtab 40 forwardly and by deformingstrips 42 rearwardly, as shown in the drawing, avertical passageway 44 is formed inspreader 22 through whichrod 12 is extended. Passageway 44, having a smaller diameter thanretainer 14, preventsspreader 22 from becoming detached fromrod 12. - Retaining
tab 40 and retainingstrips 42 connectarms 24 together. Anaperture 46 is provided in the free end of each ofarms 24 that are essentially flat plates oriented in the same plane. A pair offlexible leaders 48 extends from the eyes offishhooks 26 throughapertures 46 and terminates atsnap link 32 to which such are fastened. If desired,leaders 48 can be extended throughhole 30 and tied directly toretainer 14.Leaders 48 have a length that is about one-third that ofrod 12 to ensure thatfishhooks 26 do not engagebottom 34. - A washer or
collar 50 is snugly, yet slidably, positioned uponrod 12 betweensinker 20 andfloat 18. Collar 50 retainsfloat 18 near the top ofrod 12 so thatrig 10 always remains upright during use. Nonetheless,collar 50 permits float 18 andspreader 22 to slide downrod 12 in the unlikely event that rig 10 snag upon an underwater obstruction upon retrieval so as to offer means to wiggle free of the obstruction.Collar 50 is formed of the same material as spreader, namely high-density polyethylene. - The use of
fishing rig 10 is straightforward. First, rig 10 is connected to a fishing rod (not shown) by clippingfishing line 16 toretainer 14 by means ofsnap link 32. Next,bait 52, such as live worms, is placed onfishhooks 26. Then, rig 10 is cast into a body of water in the usual manner and is permitted to settle to the rocky or obstructedbottom 34 thereof. With no retrieval ofrig 10 being necessary to catch agame fish 54, a fisherman now waits for the strike ofgame fish 54. - A slight subsurface current will automatically orient
spreader 22 at right angles to the current. Such an orientation maximizes the chances of a fish strike by distancing baitedfishhooks 26 from one another to the maximum possible degree and presents the baitedfishhooks 26 cleanly togame fish 54 looking for a meal to drift downstream.Rig 10 always maintains fishhooks 26 at a distance from bottom 34 thereby preventing troublesome snags. - During retrieval to check
bait 52,fishing rig 10 can be given a wiggling action by manipulating the rod and reel so that the baitedfishhooks 26 simulate the erratic motions of wounded animals thatgame fish 54 finds attractive. Furthermore, the flexing and bounding ofrod 12 over rocky bottom 34 tends to produce further erratic motions infishhooks 26. A colorful paint applied to float 18 can enhance the tendency ofgame fish 54 to strike atfishhooks 26. Ifgame fish 54 does not bite, replacingbait 52 with a different type of bait, say minnows, can enhance opportunities for a strike. - When reeled in slowly,
fishing rig 10 remains in a near-vertical position. When reeled in quickly,spreader 22lifts rig 10 to the surface in the manner of a hydrofoil wing andrig 10 skims across the water surface. The lift generated byspreader 22 reduces likelihood of snags that occur with other fishing devices that have weights and hooks dragging on the bottom. - When
fish 54strikes rig 10, a tug is felt online 16 andfishhook 26 is set in the mouth of thefish 54 by pulling sharply online 16. Afterline 16 is reeled in, the just-caughtfish 54 can be released fromfishhook 26 and either set free or can be harvested. Use offishing rig 10, will provide a fisherman with more opportunities to make such a choice than has been possible heretofore. - When a fisherman has caught his limit or has otherwise decided to terminate his fishing efforts,
fishing rig 10 is detached fromline 16 and is coiled and placed in a tackle box for reuse at another time. No further disassembly offishing rig 10 is required as its compact size 15 lends itself easy storage in a tackle box. The process of setting upfishing rig 10 for use or stowingrig 10 after use requires just a few minutes to complete. - From the foregoing, it should be appreciated that
fishing rig 10 offers benefits to those fishing from a shoreline, pier, bridge or boat. The vertical position ofrod 12 maintained byfloat 18 provides protection against snags in all settings. This is especially important when fishing from a drifting boat in areas where the configuration of the bottom is unknown. With the protection against snags afforded byrig 10, the loss of tackle and time is minimized and the opportunities to catch fish are maximized. - While
fishing rig 10 has been described with a high degree of particularity, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that modifications can be made to it. For example, float 18 can be adhesively fastened torod 12 thereby obviating the need forcollar 50. Therefore, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the sole fishing rig embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
