Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fishing tackle, specifically to a novel sinker and a novel fishing line assembly for float fishing. Background Technology
[0002] Platform fishing (suspended bait fishing) is the most commonly used fishing technique in the development of fishing over the past thirty years, and it is the most widely adopted fishing method by anglers. The choice of fishing line rig plays a crucial role in the fishing process, and its selection is influenced by factors such as the angler, the type of fish, the fishing environment, and the fishing season. A commonly used rig consists of a main line, two stoppers, a float, three more stoppers, a lead weight holder (with lead weight wrapped around it), another stopper, and a swivel tied to the bottom. Two leader lines are attached to the bottom of the swivel, and hooks are tied to the ends of the leader lines. During fishing, by adding or removing lead weights in mid-water, the sinker is kept suspended in the water. By adjusting the float position, the two hooks are controlled to either float or sink. If a fish bites in the water, it pulls on the lead weight, disrupting the balance of the entire system and changing the number of segments of the float above the water, alerting the angler to the presence of a fish and allowing them to seize the opportunity to lift the rod and hook the fish.
[0003] This system is currently the most widely used line rig in modern fishing. However, in actual fishing, after the fish takes the bait, it swims sideways or diagonally, resulting in little or no downward pull on the line. Therefore, anglers need excellent experience in adjusting the rig. If it's too sensitive, the line will get stuck, preventing the fish from taking the bait; if it's too insensitive, the float won't move even when the fish takes the bait, wasting the opportunity to hook a fish. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel sinker and a novel fishing line rig for float fishing. This rig can effectively reduce the difficulty of adjusting the fishing line for anglers, exponentially improve the sensitivity of the entire rig, increase the catch, and make fishing simpler and more interesting.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention:
[0006] A novel sinker for float fishing includes a sinker body and a first connector and a second connector. The sinker body includes a first wing plate and a second wing plate, which are bent in the same direction to form a certain angle. A first connector and a second connector are provided at both ends of the connection between the first wing plate and the second wing plate. The first connector and the second connector are bent in the same direction, and the bending directions of the first connector and the second connector are opposite to those of the first wing plate and the second wing plate. Both the first connector and the second connector have connecting holes.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0008] 1. This invention can effectively amplify the sensitivity of the entire fishing rig. Even when the fishing is in a blunt position and both hooks are completely on the bottom, as long as there is a fish taking the bait.
[0009] 2. The line setup of this application can effectively slow down the descent speed of the hook and bait, giving fish a chance to take the bait and catch the fish during the descent process, which is the main focus of the trip.
[0010] 3. Adding the novel sinker of this application to the existing line rig makes the entire system more sensitive and stable. Even when bottom fishing, after the fish takes the bait, when it swims sideways or diagonally upwards, the novel sinker of this application will exert a downward force on the line rig, causing a noticeable change in the float's markings, indicating that a fish has been hooked, and prompting you to lift the rod.
[0011] 4. After the fish takes the bait and shakes its head away from the hook and bait position, even if the fish swims very slowly or diagonally, as long as it is out of the blind spot and the leader is taut, dragging the sinker and the space sinker will easily cause the entire system to sink. The number of marks on the water surface will change significantly until the float goes completely black (the float tip bends and disappears into the water, and cannot be observed), reminding the angler to lift the rod and seize the opportunity to catch the fish.
[0012] 5. This application's fishing rig overcomes the drawbacks of float fishing, effectively reducing the difficulty of adjusting the line and exponentially increasing the sensitivity of the entire rig. This improves catch rates and makes fishing simpler and more enjoyable. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The biggest problem with current platform fishing rigs is their insufficient sensitivity. The float is the angler's eye; the change in the number of segments above the water's surface indicates a fish's bite. A large change in the number of segments means high sensitivity, and vice versa. To improve sensitivity, anglers mainly adjust the float shape, size, sinker weight, and fishing depth to alter the leader line. However, the effects are not significant, and issues such as an overly vertical leader line causing bites or a bent leader line causing the float to remain still despite a bite are common. This is because anglers can only see the float tip and cannot directly observe the rig's position on the bottom. This poses a significant challenge for novice anglers. There's a saying in the industry: "One year to adjust the float, three years to find the bottom," illustrating that improvement in fishing results can only be achieved through long-term experience and adjustments.
[0025] The root cause of this phenomenon is that after taking the bait, the fish swims sideways or diagonally upwards (there's no room for downward movement when bottom fishing). We want the rig to move along the vertical Y-axis, but the fish only moves along the horizontal X-axis. Platform fishing rigs are inherently axially symmetrical systems. For the float tip to move significantly, it depends on the magnitude of the fish's acceleration after taking the bait and the distance it travels. When the fish is excited and swims vigorously after taking the bait, the float tip will show a large jolt. Conversely, if the fish swims slowly or diagonally upwards, the float will not move or will move very little. This movement is imperceptible to the angler. In winter or when the water oxygen content is low, the fish's activity level is low, further increasing the difficulty of fishing.
[0026] To address the problems of difficult setup and insufficient sensitivity of existing fishing rigs, this application describes a novel sinker and fishing rig. This rig effectively reduces the difficulty of setup for anglers, exponentially improving the sensitivity of the entire rig. It enhances catches and makes fishing simpler and more enjoyable.
[0027] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a novel sinker 1 for float fishing includes a sinker body 11 and a first connector 12 and a second connector 13. The sinker body 11 has a first connector 12 and a second connector 13 at both ends (the longitudinal ends of the sinker body) where the first and second wing plates connect. The sinker body 11 includes a first wing plate 111 and a second wing plate 112, preferably having the same shape and size. The first wing plate 111 and the second wing plate 112 are bent downwards to form a certain angle. The first connector 12 and the second connector 13 are bent upwards, and both the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 have connecting holes 14. The bending directions of the first connector and the second connector are opposite to the bending directions of the first wing plate and the second wing plate.
[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, preferably, a longitudinal connecting plate 15 is added between the first wing plate 111 and the second wing plate 112, and the two ends of the connecting plate 15 are provided with a first connector 12 and a second connector 13.
[0030] The included angle between the first wing plate 111 and the second wing plate 112 is 120-180 degrees, preferably 120 degrees, 150 degrees and 180 degrees. The included angle between the first connector and the connecting plate 15 is 90-180 degrees, preferably 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 150 degrees and 180 degrees.
[0031] The length of the first connector 12 is greater than that of the second connecting edge 13, and the first connector 12 has a certain degree of elasticity.
[0032] To prevent cutting, the connecting holes 14 on the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 are painted or fitted with rubber rings.
[0033] The outer corners of the first wing plate 111 and the second wing plate 112 are arc-shaped.
[0034] The main body 11 of the pendant, the first connecting piece 12 and the second connecting piece 13 are made of stainless steel sheet or plastic sheet, and are an integral structure.
[0035] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the novel fishing line assemblies, with no specific structural limitations, must include a main line, a float, and a sinker. Two space beans and the novel sinker of this application are attached to the main line between the float and the sinker. The sequence from the float to the sinker is: space beans, the first connector of the sinker, a large space bead, and the second connector of the sinker. The distance between the second connector 13 of the sinker 1 and the sinker 4 is greater than or equal to 1 cm, and a certain gap is left between the two space beans 5.
[0036] This invention effectively solves the above-mentioned problems. It is a new type of fishing rig accessory, belonging to the category of fishing sinkers, but it is not used alone; it must be used in conjunction with a lead sinker. The material is a thin stainless steel sheet or plastic sheet, which, when bent, forms a long-necked, short-tailed structure resembling a flying bird.
[0037] 1) The head and tail (both ends of the first and second connectors) bend upwards and have small connecting holes, with the main line passing through the middle, thus forming a cross-section that forms an angle with the main line.
[0038] 2) The long neck (first connector) must have a slight elasticity. During the lifting process, the neck will bend and deform, reducing the cross-section of the water cut and the water resistance, making it smooth.
[0039] 3) The two wings (first wing plate and second wing plate) bend downward at a certain angle. When lifting the rod, the sinker part flows out of the water in a curve. During the lifting process, the water will separate from the two wing plates, thereby increasing the stability of lifting the rod.
[0040] 4) The connection between the neck and shoulder (the outer corner of the first and second wing plates) is rounded to prevent the sub-line from getting tangled in the droplet during descent.
[0041] 5) The weight can be made of stainless steel sheet or plastic sheet.
[0042] 6) To prevent cutting, the connecting holes on the first and second connectors can be painted or fitted with rubber rings.
[0043] This application discloses a novel fishing rig, including a novel sinker. The structure of other parts of the novel fishing rig is not limited; only the addition of the novel sinker described in this application between the float and the sinker is required. Specifically, in a standard platform fishing rig, two bobber stops are added between the lower bobber stop securing the float and the upper bobber stop securing the sinker. A first connector is inserted into the main line through a connecting hole and placed between the two bobber stops, which are used to fix the position of the first connector (a certain gap is left between the two bobber stops; the sinker cannot be locked). A second connector is inserted into the main line, does not need to be fixed, and must have a gap of at least 1 cm between it and the upper bobber stop of the sinker, allowing space for the sinker's bend. The sinker assembly cannot be inverted; the first connector with the longer neck must be closer to the float, and the second connector with the shorter tail must be closer to the sinker. This completes the rig assembly. During fishing, the method of use is the same as for a standard fishing rig.
[0044] Many anglers prefer bottom fishing because when the hook and bait are completely on the bottom, the leader line can bend significantly, even allowing both hooks to lie flat on the bottom, making the entire system more stable. Since the leader line is parallel to the ground and doesn't obstruct the bite, fish are more confident and willing to take the bait. However, a drawback is that bottom fishing can be sluggish, making it harder to hook fish. Using the rig described in this application makes the entire system more sensitive and stable. When a fish takes the bait, whether it swims upwards or diagonally upwards, the tension on the rig will have a downward component, making the change in the float's markings more noticeable. When fishing with a relatively insensitive setup, the position of the sinker should be adjusted appropriately towards the float.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] The system used in this invention experiences the same forces as a conventional suspended fishing rig when stationary. However, its dynamic state after a fish takes the bait and pulls the hook and bait differs fundamentally from that of a conventional rig. This invention effectively alters the force distribution throughout the system, transforming the lateral pull of the fish pulling the hook and bait into a downward force through the shearing force relative to the water flow, thereby improving the sensitivity of the entire rig. Specifically, as follows... Figure 5 As shown, when a fish bites the hook and pulls the sinker horizontally to one side, the sinker will rotate under the influence of water resistance until the inclined plane faces the direction of movement. The water flow will exert a force F on the inclined plane of the sinker in the opposite direction, perpendicular to the inclined plane. Due to the existence of the inclined plane, a horizontal component force F1 and a downward component force F2 will be generated on the fishing rig. The horizontal component force F1 will be canceled out by the pulling force of the fish, while the vertical component force F2 will cause the fishing rig to move downward until the float makes a noticeable downward movement, until the float disappears completely.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them.
