Single-hook double-strand knotless binding method

Abstract

This invention discloses a knotless binding method for a single hook with two leader lines. Two independent leader lines are selected and fixed together at the shank of the same hook. No knots are used between the two leader lines and the hook. After fixing, a knotless mechanical winding binding process is used to secure the leader lines to the hook. This mechanical winding method ensures a tight fit between the leader lines and the hook shank, eliminating the need for knotting. This invention, through knotless mechanical winding binding, fixes two independent leader lines together to the same hook shank, preserving the original softness of a single leader line while effectively increasing the overall breaking tensile strength of the line by relying on the synergistic force of the two leader lines. Simultaneously, the resulting line assembly exhibits the same movement as a conventional single leader line assembly, balancing fishing comfort and leader line tensile strength performance. This effectively solves the industry pain points of thin lines easily cutting and thick lines blocking the hook.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fishing hook and leader binding technology, and particularly relates to a knotless binding method for a single hook with double leaders. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the domestic fishing industry has developed rapidly, with competitive fishing in commercial ponds and recreational wild fishing becoming increasingly popular. Target fish species are also showing increasingly wary characteristics. Among them, fish repeatedly caught in commercial ponds, wary old fish, and farmed fish in competitive fishing ponds, having been repeatedly disturbed by fishing, are extremely cautious when taking bait and are highly sensitive to the thickness of the fishing line and its state in the water. Currently, most conventional fishing rigs on the market use a single leader line with a single hook, and the mainstream hook-tying method is manual knotting. This traditional rig and tying method has inherent technical flaws in actual fishing, making it difficult to balance palatability and leader line tensile strength. Specifically, there are the following two major technical problems:

[0003] Problem 1: The single-line structure cannot balance the line's softness and tensile strength, making it difficult to adapt to highly wary fish species. To reduce fish's wariness and improve bait intake, anglers need to use a small-number, thin leader. Thin leaders have excellent softness, making it easy for fish to suck the bait into their mouths. However, the single-line tensile strength is extremely poor, and when hooking medium to large fish or using forceful hooking techniques, the line is prone to breaking and the fish escaping. If a larger-number, thicker leader is used to increase tensile strength, the line stiffness increases significantly. After entering the water, the line rig becomes more noticeable, easily startling wary fish, resulting in situations where fish don't bite or bite but don't catch the fish. This contradiction is widespread in the fishing of mainstream fish species such as carp, tilapia, crucian carp, and silver carp, and cannot be effectively avoided in either commercial fishing ponds or outdoor wild fishing.

[0004] Question 2: Traditional knotting techniques can damage the original tensile strength of the fishing line, further increasing the risk of line breakage. Conventional manual knotting creates a rigid knot at the hook shank. On one hand, the knot compresses and bends the fishing line, causing localized stress concentration and damaging its original physical structure, directly reducing its original tensile strength. On the other hand, the protruding knot increases the resistance to water entry, altering the line's underwater movement and making it more prone to disturbing the water. This further increases the alertness of wary fish and those that have been caught before, reducing the overall probability of hooking a fish.

[0005] In summary, to solve the above problems, practitioners have designed a knotless binding method for single-hook double-line binding. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing single-hook single-leader knotting and binding processes, which cannot simultaneously take into account the softness and palatability of the leader and the overall tensile strength, and the knots are prone to damaging the fishing line and disturbing the water underwater, making it difficult to meet the fishing needs of highly wary fish species such as recycled fish and old, slippery fish in black pits. Therefore, this invention provides a knotless binding method for single-hook double-leader.

[0007] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a knotless binding method for a single hook with double leader lines, characterized in that: it is used for binding the leader line and the hook in fishing, including leader line arrangement and hook fixing process, selecting two independent leader lines, fixing the two leader lines together to the hook shank of the same hook, and without setting any knot structure between the two leader lines and the hook throughout the process, and using a knotless mechanical winding binding process to complete the fixing of the leader line and the hook, relying on the mechanical winding wrapping method to achieve a tight fit between the leader line and the hook shank, without any knotting operation throughout the process;

[0008] After being fixed, it forms a single-hook, double-line integrated leader assembly. This leader assembly retains the original performance of a single leader line, while relying on the joint force of the two leader lines to improve the overall breaking tensile strength. The movement pattern of the leader assembly during casting, water entry, and hooking is consistent with that of a conventional single leader assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the two sub-lines are made of the same material and diameter and are fishing-specific thin lines. The two sub-lines are laid out in parallel and do not tangle with each other. During the hooking process, the two sub-lines synchronously and evenly distribute the load.

[0010] Furthermore, the knotless mechanical binding process is automated by a knotless hook binding machine. During the binding process, the binding area of ​​the hook shank is wrapped, pressed, and fixed, with a slight leak at the front end of the leader line, thus fully preserving the hook's suction performance.

[0011] Furthermore, after the twin lines are bound together and placed in the water, the two lines adhere to each other due to the surface tension of the water, giving the overall appearance of a single fishing line without any bifurcation or water disturbance.

[0012] Furthermore, actual measurements showed that the tensile strength of the double-strand sub-wires was greater than that of the single-strand sub-wires (calculated as half the value of a single-strand sub-wire). The overall tensile strength of the double-strand sub-wire combination met the following corresponding relationships: the overall tensile strength of the double-strand 0.3 sub-wire was greater than that of the single 0.6 sub-wire, the overall tensile strength of the double-strand 0.4 sub-wire was greater than that of the single 0.8 sub-wire, and the overall tensile strength of the double-strand 0.6 sub-wire was greater than that of the single 1.2 sub-wire.

[0013] A knotless fishing leader assembly with a single hook and double leader is prepared by the aforementioned knotless binding method for a single hook and double leader.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This invention has a reasonable design, simple and stable structure, and strong practicality, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Balancing palatability and leader line tensile strength: Two thin lines of the same specification are tied together on a single hook, which fully preserves the softness of a single leader line, making it easy for fish to suck in the bait. The two strands distribute the stress synchronously, which significantly improves the overall breaking tensile strength and solves the contradiction between thin lines being easy to cut and thick lines being difficult to bite.

[0016] 2. Knotless and damage-free preservation of original strength: The mechanical winding method ensures knotless wrapping and fixation, eliminating stress concentration caused by knots and preventing compression of the leader, bait area, and main line connection section, thus preserving the original tensile strength of the fishing line to the maximum extent.

[0017] 3. Undisturbed and fish-free underwater: After the double lines enter the water, they adhere to each other in a single line shape due to the surface tension of the water, without splitting and disturbing the water. This reduces the wariness of highly vigilant fish species such as reheated fish and old, wary fish, and increases the probability of catching fish.

[0018] 4. No difference in fishing feel: The casting, entry into the water, and hooking movements of the shaped line rig are consistent with those of the traditional single leader rig, making casting and hooking operations smooth without having to change existing fishing habits. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the knotless double-line fishing leader assembly of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] Combination Figure 1 The method for knotless binding of a single hook with double leader lines is used for binding fishing leader lines and hooks. It is divided into two interconnected processes: leader line arrangement and hook fixing. In practice, two independent leader lines capable of independently withstanding tension are selected as the force carriers. The two leader lines are laid out simultaneously and positioned together on the outer wall of the hook shank of the same hook. The two leader lines are laid out tightly against the outer wall of the hook shank throughout the entire process. No knot locking structure is set between the contact area between the two leader lines and the hook shank of the hook, avoiding local compression damage caused by knots. After the double line alignment is completed, the knotless mechanical winding binding process is used to lock and fix the leader lines and hooks. The equipment drives the winding layer to wrap around the hook shank and the two overlapping leader lines layer by layer. The circumferential compression force of the multi-layer winding achieves tight bonding and locking between the leader lines and the hook shank. The entire binding process is knotless, and the winding wrapping structure replaces the traditional knot to achieve limiting and fixing.

[0023] After being fixed by this process, the final product is a single-hook, double-line integrated leader assembly. Each leader in this assembly maintains its original physical state and retains the original soft physical properties of a single leader. This makes it easier for fish to take the bait after the line enters the water. At the same time, when the line is hooked, the two leaders simultaneously bear the load and share the pulling force. The overall breaking strength of the assembly is improved by the cooperative relationship of the two leaders bearing the force together. Under all conditions of casting into the water, underwater stillness, and hooking the fish, the overall movement and water resistance of the double lines after they are joined are consistent with those of a conventional single leader assembly, and the fishing feel is not changed.

[0024] In this embodiment, the two leader lines are made of the same material and diameter, ensuring that their physical properties, such as hardness, softness, original tensile strength, and deformation coefficient, are completely consistent. This eliminates the force deviation caused by the difference in the performance of the two leader lines. The two leader lines are laid out parallel and neatly along the axial direction of the hook shank, with uniform spacing between them and no intersection or entanglement. This ensures that the structure of the two lines is neat and uniform. When the fish pulls on the hook at the moment of hooking, the two leader lines can simultaneously bear the axial tension, and the force points are consistent. The load can be evenly transmitted and distributed along the axial direction of the two leader lines, avoiding the situation where a single leader line is overloaded or breaks first. This ensures the overall force coordination and load distribution stability of the two lines.

[0025] In this embodiment, the knotless mechanical binding process is completed automatically by a knotless hook binding machine. During the binding process, the winding and pressing mechanism of the equipment is precisely aligned with the binding area of ​​the hook shank to implement multi-layer wire wrapping and radial pressing and fixing. The squeezing force of the mechanism is concentrated only on the double-line overlapping binding position at the hook shank, with a slight leakage at the front end of the leader line, ensuring the wrapping effect and completely preserving the hook's suction performance, thus improving the fish's ingestion of bait.

[0026] In this embodiment, after the twin fishing lines are fully submerged in water, the two parallel lines will be continuously subjected to the combined effect of water surface tension and hydrostatic pressure. Water molecules are uniformly adsorbed onto the outer surfaces of the two lines. Under the traction and adhesion of the water flow, the two lines spontaneously and tightly adhere to each other without any gaps. The overall shape and water resistance cross-section of the line group underwater are consistent with those of a conventional single fishing line, presenting the appearance of a single fishing line. The two lines always remain in a close and adhered state, without any splitting, swinging, or deviation of the two lines. This effectively avoids the additional water flow disturbance caused by the independent swinging of the two lines, completely eliminates the phenomenon of water disturbance caused by splitting of the two lines, and ensures that the underwater posture of the line group is stable and natural.

[0027] In this embodiment, actual measurements show that the tensile strength of the double-strand sub-wires is greater than that of the single sub-wire (calculated as half the value of a single sub-wire). The double-strand, same-specification thin wires, relying on the principle of synchronous and coordinated force distribution and uniform load sharing, achieve a significant increase in the overall tensile strength of the wire group. The overall tensile strength of the combined double-strand wires meets the following measured correspondences (see table below): The double-strand 0.3 sub-wires can synchronously share the instantaneous tensile force, and their overall ultimate breaking tensile strength is greater than that of a single 0.6 sub-wire; the double-strand 0.4 sub-wires, relying on the combined force of the two wires, have an overall ultimate breaking tensile strength greater than that of a single 0.8 sub-wire; the double-strand 0.6 sub-wires, relying on the even distribution of the impact force from the fish-spinning device, have an overall ultimate breaking tensile strength greater than that of a single 1.2 sub-wire. The double-strand wires exhibit no force deviation and no single wire bearing overload issues. The tensile strength increase is stable and linearly controllable, completely compensating for the insufficient tensile strength of a single thin wire.

[0029] A knotless fishing leader assembly with a single hook and double leader is manufactured using an integrated knotless binding method. The two lines are free from entanglement and interference, and their stress-bearing structures work together in a coordinated manner. The overall structure is highly integrated, with each component fitting together securely. There are no knots or stress concentration defects, which can stably achieve the working effect of evenly distributing the load between the two lines and automatically fitting together underwater. It also has excellent line flexibility and overall tensile strength, making it suitable for various fishing scenarios.
