AI Technical Summary
Existing flip hooks use multiple leader lines of the same length, causing the hooks connected by adjacent leader lines to tangle during use, increasing weight, forming a stable triangular structure, reducing the hook's range of motion, affecting the fish's ability to suck the bait in, and making it impossible to adjust the fishing method according to the feeding habits of different fish species.
It adopts two types of leader design: long leader and short leader. The short leader is shorter than the vertical distance from the flap hole connected to the short leader to the long leader. The hook of the short leader is attached to the block bait or floats directly above the block bait. For small-mouthed fish, the long leader provides a wider range of coverage and can hang larger hooks to adapt to the feeding habits of different fish species.
It reduces line tangling, increases the hook's range of motion and bite signal, enhances the attraction effect on different fish species, and increases the probability of catching medium and large fish.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to fishing tackle technology, specifically to a soft-line flip hook. Background Technology
[0002] The flip-hook is an improved version of the explosive hook, consisting of three parts: a leader, a bait plate (usually made of bran or soybean cake), and a sinker. After entering the water, the weight of the sinker keeps the bait and hook upright and flips in the water, so the bait side faces upwards, concealing the hook. When a fish takes the bait, it is easily sucked in by mistake, increasing the catch rate. The flip-hook is mainly used for bottom-dwelling fish such as carp, crucian carp, and grass carp, and is especially suitable for use in freshwater areas.
[0003] Existing flip-top hooks use multiple leader lines of the same length. When the hooks are connected by adjacent leader lines, they tend to tangle, reducing the number of hooks available to attract fish. The tangled lines not only double the weight but also form a triangular stable structure that reduces the hook's range of motion, affecting the fish's ability to suck in the bait and thus reducing the likelihood of a bite signal, resulting in missed bites. Shortening the length of all leader lines to prevent them from touching each other reduces the area where the hook can cover the square bait and makes it impossible to adjust the fishing method according to the feeding habits of different fish species. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft-line flip-top hook to solve the problems of existing technologies that use multiple leader lines of the same length. When two adjacent leader lines are connected, they tend to tangle with each other during use, resulting in fewer hooks to attract fish. In addition, the tangled lines not only double the weight but also form a triangular stable structure that reduces the range of motion of the hook, affecting the fish's ability to suck in the bait and thus reducing the generation of bite signals, leading to missed bites. Shortening the length of all leader lines so that they cannot touch each other reduces the coverage area of the hook to cover the square bait and makes it impossible to adjust the fishing method according to the feeding habits of different fish species.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soft-line flip-top hook, comprising a main line, a movable stopper bead fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line, a baffle plate fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line, the baffle bead being located on the side of the stopper bead closer to the bottom end of the main line, the stopper bead being able to prevent the baffle plate from moving away from the bottom end of the main line, a sinker also fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line, the sinker being located on the side of the baffle plate closer to the bottom end of the main line, and further comprising a block bait, a flip-top assembly, a stopper pin, a leader line unit, and several hooks:
[0006] The square bait is placed on the outside of the bottom end of the main line and below the sinker;
[0007] A flap assembly is disposed at the bottom of the cube bait, and the main line passes through the flap assembly and extends to the bottom of the flap assembly;
[0008] The flip-up assembly includes:
[0009] Flip board;
[0010] Several flap holes are arranged in a circular array and are opened through the outer side of the flap;
[0011] The stop pin is located at the bottom end of the main line and below the flip-board assembly to fix the position of the flip-board assembly and the block bait.
[0012] Sub-line unit, which is located around the flap;
[0013] The sub-line unit includes:
[0014] Several short sub-lines are arranged in a circular array, and the short sub-lines are connected to the flap plate through flap plate holes;
[0015] The long sub-line is connected to the flap plate through a flap plate hole, and the long sub-line is located on the flap plate hole side of two adjacent short sub-lines that are far apart from each other;
[0016] Several fishhooks are fixedly installed one-to-one on the short leader and the long leader at the end away from the flap.
[0017] Furthermore, the flap assembly includes a first flap unit, the first flap unit comprising:
[0018] The first flap is located at the bottom of the cube bait, and the bottom of the first flap is connected to the outside of the stop needle.
[0019] Several first positioning grooves are arranged in a circular array and extend from the top of the first flap to the bottom of the first flap.
[0020] Several first flap holes are arranged in a circular array on the periphery of the first flap;
[0021] The first through hole is formed in the middle of the first flap. The diameter of the first through hole is larger than the diameter of the stop pin, and the diameter of the first through hole is smaller than the length of the stop pin.
[0022] Furthermore, the flap assembly includes a second flap unit, the second flap unit comprising:
[0023] The second flap is located at the bottom of the block bait and above the stopper;
[0024] Several second flap holes are respectively opened through the corners of the second flap, and the second flap holes are evenly distributed.
[0025] Several second positioning grooves are respectively opened through the outer side of the second flap, and the second positioning grooves are evenly distributed.
[0026] The second through hole is opened through the middle of the second flap. The diameter of the second through hole is larger than the diameter of the stop pin, and the diameter of the second through hole is smaller than the length of the stop pin.
[0027] Furthermore, a detachable buoyancy ball is fitted on the outer side of the fishhook.
[0028] Furthermore, the flap includes a first flap and a second flap.
[0029] Furthermore, the flap hole includes a first flap hole and a second positioning groove.
[0030] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a soft-line flip-top hook, which uses both long and short leader lines. The short leader line is shorter than the vertical distance from the flip-top hole connected to the short leader line to the long leader line, reducing the chance of adjacent leader lines tangling when moving in the water. The hook on the short leader line is attached to the block bait or floats directly above it. This is suitable for small-mouthed fish that feed by nibbling at the bait from below, such as gudgeon, mud carp, crucian carp, and common carp. Hooks attached to the block bait are easily ingested by fish when they eat the bait, while hooks floating on the block bait are more likely to snag on the outside of the fish's mouth when it raises its head to feed. Longer leader lines provide greater coverage and can accommodate larger hooks. They are also effective against fish with large mouths that feed from a distance, such as silver carp, bighead carp, and grass carp. Small hooks on short leader lines cannot reach the mouths of large fish after leaving the block bait, thus preventing large fish from escaping after taking the bait. Hooks on long leader lines can reach the mouths of large fish. In addition, large fish are generally more wary and prefer to eat bait that is far from the block bait. Therefore, using appropriate bait on a long leader line extends the effective feeding distance for large fish and increases the probability of catching a large or medium-sized fish.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] Please see Figures 1-5 A soft-line flip hook includes a main line 5, a movable stopper 4 fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line 5, and a baffle 3 fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line 5. The baffle 3 is located on the side of the stopper 4 near the bottom end of the main line 5 and can prevent the baffle 3 from moving away from the bottom end of the main line 5. A sinker 1 is also fitted on the outer side of the bottom end of the main line 5 and is located on the side of the baffle 3 near the bottom end of the main line 5. It also includes a block bait 2, a flip plate assembly, a stopper 7, a leader line unit 9, and several hooks 6.
[0043] Square bait 2 is attached to the outside of the bottom end of the main line 5 and located below the sinker 1;
[0044] The flip-board assembly is located at the bottom of the cube bait 2, and the main line 5 passes through the flip-board assembly and extends to the bottom of the flip-board assembly;
[0045] The flip panel components include:
[0046] Flip board;
[0047] Several flap holes are arranged in a circular array and are opened through the outer side of the flap;
[0048] The stop pin 7 is located at the bottom end of the main line 5 and below the flip plate assembly for fixing the flip plate assembly and the block bait 2.
[0049] Sub-line unit 9 is located on the periphery of the flap;
[0050] Sub-line unit 9 includes:
[0051] Several short sub-lines 91 are arranged in a circular array, and the short sub-lines 91 are connected to the flap through flap holes;
[0052] The long sub-line 92 is connected to the flap plate through the flap plate hole. The long sub-line 92 is located on the flap plate hole side of the two adjacent short sub-lines 91 that are far apart from each other.
[0053] Several fishhooks 6 are fixedly installed one-to-one on the end of the short leader 91 and the long leader 92 away from the flap.
[0054] The specific implementation method is as follows: The space bean 4 is made of soft rubber; the block bait 2 is mainly made of hard grains; the block bait 2 has a hole in the middle; the space bean 4 can be manually moved to its position on the main line 5; the baffle 3 is used to limit the sinker 1; the sinker 1 is made of metal or lead to increase weight, so that in the water the sinker 1 faces downwards and the block bait 2 faces upwards; the sinker 1 also limits the block bait 2; the stop pin 7 is cylindrical; the main line 5 is passed through the space bean 4 and the baffle 3 in sequence, and then the main line 5... The end is tied to the middle of the stop needle 7. The stop needle 7 is tilted and passed through the pre-reserved through hole in the middle of the sinker 1, the block bait 2 and the first flap 81 / second flap 111 until it is completely out. The stop needle 7 is rotated so that the axis of the stop needle 7 is parallel to the bottom surface of the block bait 2. The stop plate 3 and the sinker 1 fall above the block bait 2 by their own weight, and the flap is below the block bait 2. Then, by adjusting the pressure of the space bead 4 on the stop plate 3, the pressure of the block bait 2 and the flap is adjusted to prevent the block bait 2 from separating from the flap when it is thrown into the water. Both the short leader 91 and the long leader 92 of the flip-top assembly are tied with 8-strand or longer tan-colored spotted Dyneema line. The tan-colored spotted Dyneema line is basically the same color as the water and bottom. The short leader 91 is 1-1.5 cm long, and the long leader 92 is 2.5-4 cm long. The short leaders 91 are difficult to tangle with each other. Two or three short leaders 91 are selected, and one long leader 92 is selected. This reduces the number of hooks used in traditional flip-top hooks and also reduces the probability of snagging and leader tangling. The hook 6 on the short leader 91 is a small short-shank hook, such as a 0.8-4 size Chinu hook, a 6-10 size Ise-ni hook, or a 6-12 size Kaiyu hook, and a small buoy 10 is attached to offset some of the hook weight and increase the fish attraction effect, targeting the bottom feeding habit. Fish with small, low-set mouths, such as gudgeon, mud carp, and common carp, are typically targeted with a large, long-shank, inward-facing hook (e.g., size 12-16 Maruseigo hook) on one of the short leader lines 91. A large buoyancy ball 10 is attached to the hook 6, causing it to float and stand upside down, forming an inverted hook shape. The principle is to utilize the fish's head-raising motion when it is feeding to hook the fish's mouth from the outside in. The hook 6 on the long leader line 92 is usually sucked into the fish's mouth for hooking. The hook 6 can be a "hawk's beak" hook point and a "crooked mouth" type of Chinu hook. The crooked mouth allows the hook point and the hook body to be on different planes, making it easier to hook the fish's oral cavity when the hook is sucked into the mouth. The hawk's beak hook point can effectively lock the fish's oral cavity. When the fish is stung and struggles to shake its head or escape, the fishing line pulls the hook 6 again, passively hooking the fish's mouth. The 92mm long leader can also be paired with a large, thick hook 6 to hook bait, allowing it to target wary large fish such as grass carp and black carp when lying on the bottom. If a large buoyancy ball 10 is attached, causing the hook 6 to float, the longer leader provides a greater range of motion, making it easier for large-mouthed fish such as silver carp, bighead carp, mandarin fish, and perch to inhale the bait. The 92mm long leader and hook 6 can also be used with appropriate baits such as corn, feed pellets, snails, shrimp meat, silicone floats, EPS or EVA foam pellets, etc., which are effectively consumed by large fish.
[0055] The flap assembly includes a first flap unit 8, and the first flap unit 8 includes:
[0056] The first flap 81 is located at the bottom of the cube bait 2, and the bottom of the first flap 81 is connected to the outside of the stop needle 7.
[0057] A plurality of first positioning grooves 82 are arranged in a circular array and extend from the top of the first flap 81 to the bottom of the first flap 81.
[0058] A number of first flap holes 83 are arranged in a circular array around the first flap 81;
[0059] The first through hole 84 is opened through the middle of the first flap 81. The diameter of the first through hole 84 is larger than the diameter of the stop pin 7, and the diameter of the first through hole 84 is smaller than the length of the stop pin 7.
[0060] The specific implementation is as follows: The first flap 81 is circular and made of materials without metallic luster, such as plastic board / epoxy board / fiberglass board, to blend with the underwater environment or the appearance color of the cube bait 2, reducing the fish's wariness. The first flap hole 83 is used to tie the leader line. The number of first positioning grooves 82 is not less than the number of first flap holes 83. The first positioning grooves 82 are used to better fix the leader line when it is tied to the first flap 81, and at the same time prevent the leader line from loosening when tied. The first through hole 84 provides a moving path for the stop pin 7. The number of first flap holes 83 is defined as N, where N is a plural number. Then the number of short leader lines 91 installed is... The long sub-wire 92 is installed on the first flap hole 83 between the two short sub-wires 91 with the largest distance between them.
[0061] The fishhook 6 is fitted with a detachable buoyancy ball 10 on its outer side.
[0062] The specific implementation method is as follows: the buoyancy ball 10 includes, but is not limited to, foam particles. The buoyancy of the large buoyancy ball 10 on the fishhook 6 in the water is greater than the weight of the fishhook 6 and the buoyancy ball 10, so that the buoyancy ball 10 can make the fishhook 6 float. The buoyancy of the small buoyancy ball 10 on the fishhook 6 in the water is less than the weight of the fishhook 6 and the buoyancy ball 10, so that the buoyancy ball 10 can offset part of the weight of the fishhook 6 and make it float on the bottom. After the fishhook 6 passes through the buoyancy ball 10, adjust the buoyancy ball 10 to be positioned at the bottom of the fishhook 6.
[0063] When the hook 6 on the short leader floats in the water via the buoyancy ball 10 and is inverted into a barbed shape, it can be hooked by taking advantage of the small fish's constant head-raising movements as it nibbles on the block bait 2, thus penetrating its mouth or body from the outside. If the hook 6 on the long leader floats in the water via the buoyancy ball 10 and is inverted into a barbed shape, it can achieve a greater range of swing. In addition, the weight of the hook is offset by the buoyancy ball, making it easier for larger fish to suck it into their mouths.
[0064] Example 2:
[0065] Please see Figure 6 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the flap assembly includes a second flap unit 11, and the second flap unit 11 includes:
[0066] The second flip plate 111 is located at the bottom of the cube bait 2 and above the stop needle 7;
[0067] A number of second flap holes 112 are respectively opened through the corners of the second flap 111, and the second flap holes 112 are evenly distributed.
[0068] Several second positioning grooves 113 are respectively opened through the outer side of the second flap 111, and the second positioning grooves 113 are evenly distributed.
[0069] The second through hole 114 is opened through the middle of the second flap 111. The diameter of the second through hole 114 is larger than the diameter of the stop pin 7, and the diameter of the second through hole 114 is smaller than the length of the stop pin 7.
[0070] The flaps include a first flap 81 and a second flap 111.
[0071] The flap hole includes a first flap hole 83 and a second positioning groove 113.
[0072] The specific implementation method is as follows: the second flap 111 is hexagonal, the short side and the long side of the second flap 111 are distributed at intervals, the second positioning grooves 113 are respectively opened on one side of the short side of the second flap 111, the second positioning grooves 113 are opened between the two long sides of the second flap 111 and close to the short side, wherein each of the two second flap holes 112 is bound with a short sub-wire 91, and the other second flap hole 112 is bound with a long sub-wire 92.
[0073] Working principle: The user passes the main line 5 through the space bead 4, the baffle 3, and the sinker 1 in sequence. Then, the end of the main line 5 is tied to the middle of the stopper 7. The stopper 7 is tilted and passed through the pre-drilled hole in the middle of the cube bait 2 until it is completely through the cube bait 2. The stopper 7 is rotated so that its axis is parallel to the bottom surface of the cube bait 2. The baffle 3 and the sinker 1 fall on the cube bait 2 by their own weight. Then, by adjusting the pressure of the space bead 4 on the baffle 3, the pressure on the cube bait 2 is adjusted, so that the cube bait 2 is connected to the first flip plate unit 8. The hook 6 on one of the short leader lines 91 is selected to be a small hook and a small buoyancy ball 10 is attached. The hook 6 on the other short leader line 91 is... Choose a Marusei hook for hook 6 and attach a large buoyancy ball 10. Attach a large hook 6 to the long leader 92 and bait it with a large fish. Cast the entire setup into the water. The sinker 1 is heavy and sinks downwards. At this point, the block bait 2 and the flipper assembly are above the sinker 1. The short leader 91 with the Marusei hook floats upwards due to the buoyancy of the buoyancy ball 10, causing it to float up in an inverted hook shape directly above the block bait 2. Additionally, the hook 6 on the short leader, with a small buoyancy ball 10 attached, offsets part of the hook's weight and attaches to the block bait 2. The hook 6 with the large fish bait on the long leader 92 lies around the block bait or floats above the block bait 2 with a large buoyancy ball 10 attached.
[0074] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
