Abstract
Description
Age condition
[0001] In drop shot rigs, the hook(s) are tied into the line with special knots and should be positioned perpendicular to the line. This isn't always successful, and the hook(s) often end up twisted. This makes the lure's position undefined, and missed strikes are inevitable.
[0002] Weaknesses: 1. Positioning the hook on the fishing line is difficult. 2. The hooks are often twisted. 3. Assembly is repeated (material loss) 4. The knot connection is strangling the fishing line. 5. The durability of the fishing line is reduced. 6. Disassembly is only possible by destroying the cord. Description of the innovation:
[0003] The 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hooks is designed with wear-resistant 3D eyes on the sides (right and left) of the bead body. Each 3D eye is surrounded by a luminescent ring. The 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hooks has a recess (5) ( Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6), in which the eye of the drop shot hook is positioned concentrically to the through hole ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3) The recess (5) of the 3D eye bead for dop shot hooks ( Fig. 5) is at a right angle to the through-hole. When the 3D eye bead for drop shot hooks is joined with the drop shot hook, a drop shot hook with 3D eyes is created, which is always precisely positioned and aligned on the fishing line ( Fig. 1-3), Opposite the depression there is a cord guide groove (3) ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6) This line guide groove is rounded with the through-hole (1; 2). By attaching it with the fishing line, we achieve a knotless connection that can be easily released and re-tightened (e.g., at a different location) without damage. No tools are required, and the breaking strength of the fishing line remains fully intact. Fig. 2; Fig. 4; Fig. 5 and Fig. Figure 6 shows a through-hole through which the line can be threaded. This allows the line to be guided lengthwise along the hook. This is a prerequisite for a side-arm rig. This increases the range of applications for the 3D eye bead. Assembly:
[0004] The hook is positioned in the recess (5) of the 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hooks ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3), so that the eyelet is concentric to the through-hole ( Fig. 2) The fishing line is laid out, starting at the entrance (1) ( Fig. 5), through the 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hook threaded with hook and comes out of the exit (2) ( Fig. 5) out. The fishing line is placed laterally in the groove (3) ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6) returned. Then again into the 3D eye bead for 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hook into the entrance (1) ( Fig. 5) threaded and pulled through until the fishing line is in the groove (3) ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6) is attached. Re-threading into the entrance (1) ( Fig. 5) Secure the 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hooks to the fishing line. The rig can now be completed with a second or third hook (or other components). For the side-arm rig, a hook with an open eye is required. The line wrap on the hook must be kept as flat as possible. The line is then threaded through the recess and through the hole in the 3D eye bead. The 3D eye bead is then slid onto the hook wrap and secured. Advantages: 1. Knotless assembly of the 3D eye bead for dop shot hooks through form fit. 2. No strangulation of the fishing line 3. The breaking strength of the fishing line remains at 100%. 4. Any fishing line can be used. 5. Separate, wear-resistant 3D eyes in the assembly 6. Lures without 3D eyes do not require expensive retrofitting. 7. The 3D eye bead for dop shot hooks is height-adjustable, as it can be repeatedly removed. 8. Quick knotless assembly 9. Disassembly of the 3D eye bead for Dop Shot hooks is non-destructive.
