Fishing end aid equipment

Abstract

This invention provides a fishing line tying aid that allows for secure tightening of the knot in the fishing line. [Solution] The fishing line tying aid 1 comprises a first arm 2 with a first fishing line locking body 5 at its tip, and a second arm 3 with a second fishing line locking body 6 at its tip, the base end of which is rotatably attached to the base end of the first arm 2. A third fishing line locking body 7 is provided between the base end of the second arm 3 and the second fishing line locking body 6. By opening the second arm 3 relative to the first arm 2, approximately twice the force can be applied due to the lever principle acting on the first arm 2 and the second arm 3. Even when tying a very thick 300lb leader to a 15lb main line, the braided portion can be tightened firmly and securely.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing line binding aid used when binding a main line (such as a PE line), which is a fishing line, and a leader (such as a fluorocarbon line or a nylon line), which is a fishing line, with an FG knot.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, in lure fishing, a polyethylene braided line (PE line) that is difficult to stretch and has high linear strength is often used as the main line (running line: the line wound around the spool of the reel). This type of PE line cannot be made transparent and has relatively weak binding strength. On the other hand, the fishing line bound to the lure side is often a single filament (monofilament line) made of fluorocarbon or nylon that is transparent and resistant to abrasion, such as a fluorocarbon line or a nylon line, as a leader (tip line: the fishing line bound to the tip of the main line), for the purpose of soothing the vigilance of target fish and squid, and reducing damage caused by rubbing on the bottom or obstacles. [[ID=*]]

[0003] However, when binding these main line and leader, the binding part reduces the strength of the fishing line, and the fishing line often breaks (cuts) starting from this binding part. Therefore, a special binding method called a so-called friction system that does not cause strength reduction at this binding part as much as possible is used. As this special binding method, a binding method called an FG knot is the mainstream. In this FG knot, it is necessary to tighten the binding part by pulling strongly in the direction in which the leader and the main line face each other while knitting the end of the main line and the end of the leader alternately crossed, so it is difficult to control the force, requires habituation, and is very time-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, a fishing line binding aid used when binding a main line and a leader with a binding method having a high binding strength such as an FG knot of this type is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The fishing line binding aid described in this Patent Document 1 has "a spool, a pair of clamping bodies whose opposing surfaces are spaced apart as clamping surfaces for the fishing line on both front and rear sides of the spool, and a dial provided behind the pair of clamping bodies. The shaft support part of the two arms connected in a C shape and the fishing line fixing parts provided at each tip part. One of the pair of clamping bodies is fixed to the arm side, while the other clamping body is movable in a parallel direction in the pressing direction with respect to the one clamping body. And the dial can press the other clamping body in the pressing direction by a rotation operation, and the clamping force of the fishing line by the pair of clamping bodies can be adjusted freely according to the rotation amount of this dial." It has the composition.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, for example, in order to catch very large fish such as swordfish and bluefin tuna, thick fishing lines such as a PE line of about size 15 as the main line and a fluorocarbon line of about 300 pounds (lb) as the leader are used. In this case, when binding these leader and main line with an FG knot, a very large force of about 100 kg is required to tighten the binding part. Therefore, it is not easy to tightly tighten the binding part of these main line and leader manually.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] This invention aims to solve the above problems and is a fishing line tying aid comprising a first arm having a first fishing line locking body at one end, and a second arm having a second fishing line locking body at one end and the other end of the first arm being rotatably attached to the other end, wherein a third fishing line locking body is provided on the second arm at a position between the other end of the second arm and the second fishing line locking body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to this invention, the knot of the fishing line can be securely tightened. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 8] This diagram illustrates the state after the main line has been braided using the fishing line tying aid described above, and the tip of the main line has been detached and the leader secured. [Figure 9] This diagram illustrates how the knot between the main line and the leader is tightened using the fishing line knotting aid shown above. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] [One embodiment] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] <Structure> Figures 1 to 9 are diagrams showing a fishing line tying aid 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. This fishing line tying aid 1 is a device (knotter) that can easily and securely tie together a main line (PE line) L1, which is a fishing line mainly used for fishing such as lure fishing, and a leader (fluorocarbon line / nylon line) F2, which is a fishing line, using an FG knot N.

[0012] In particular, the fishing line knotting aid 1 allows for the secure and strong creation of a robust FG knot N by braiding the main line L1 into the end of the leader L2 and then tightening the braided main line L1 securely and firmly to the leader L2.

[0013] Specifically, the fishing line tying aid 1 has a pair of elongated, flat first arms (first body) 2 and second arms (second body) 3. Each of the base ends (other ends) of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is provided with connecting holes 2a and 2b that penetrate in the thickness direction. The second arm 3 is superimposed on the surface side of the first arm 2, and the connecting holes 2a and 2b are connected in communication, and a rotatable fixing part 4 is provided, connected by a screw shaft 4a and a shaft 4b. A substantially cylindrical first fishing line locking body 5 is attached to the surface side of the tip (one end) of the first arm 2 for winding and locking fishing line, mainly the main line L1. This first fishing line locking body 5 has a substantially cylindrical rubber shaft 5f that is attached to the surface side of the first arm 2 with its axial direction aligned with the thickness direction of the first arm 2, and this rubber shaft 5f is fixed by a screw shaft 5g inserted from the back side of the first arm 2.

[0014] Furthermore, on this rubber shaft 5f, from the proximal end side of this rubber shaft 5f, an annular O-ring 5a made of rubber, for example, a cylindrical pipe body (rubber ring) 5b made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer), for example, and annular O-rings 5c and 5d made of rubber are inserted and fixed side by side in the axial direction. In short, the gap formed between these O-rings 5a, 5c, 5d and the pipe body 5b functions mainly as a locking groove 5e for biting and locking when winding the main line L1.

[0015] Next, on the surface side of one end (tip) of the second arm 3, a substantially cylindrical second fishing line locking body 6 for winding and locking a fishing line, mainly the main line L1, is also attached. This second fishing line locking body 6 also has a substantially cylindrical rubber shaft 6k attached so as to protrude from the surface side of the second arm 3 with the axial direction along the thickness direction of the second arm 3. And this rubber shaft 6k is also fixed by a screw shaft 6m inserted from the back side of the second arm 3.

[0016] Furthermore, on this rubber shaft 6k, a plurality of, for example, nine annular O-rings 6a to 6i made of rubber are inserted and fixed side by side in the axial direction from the proximal end side of this rubber shaft 6k. And the gap formed between these O-rings 6a to 6i functions mainly as a locking groove 6j for biting and locking when winding the main line L1.

[0017] Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the second arm 3 is formed shorter (with a smaller length dimension) than the first arm 2 so that the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6 of the first arm 2 do not buffer (contact) in a state where the second arm 3 is rotated about the rotation fixing portion 4 as the rotation center so as to overlap on the first arm 2 (storage state).

[0018] Furthermore, at a position between the proximal end portion of the second arm 3 and the second fishing line locking body 6, a substantially cylindrical third fishing line locking body 7 for winding and locking a fishing line, mainly a leader L2, is attached. This third fishing line locking body 7 also has a substantially cylindrical rubber shaft 7j that is attached so as to protrude from the surface side of the second arm 3 with its axial direction along the thickness direction of the second arm 3.

[0019] Similar to the first fishing line locking body 5, an annular O-ring 7a made of, for example, rubber, a cylindrical pipe body 7b made of, for example, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer), and annular O-rings 7c, 7d made of, for example, rubber are inserted and fixed in the axial direction in this rubber shaft 7j from the proximal end side of the rubber shaft 7j. And the gap formed between these O-rings 7a, 7c, 7d and the pipe body 7b functions as a locking groove 7i for biting and locking when mainly winding the leader L2.

[0020] Here, at a position near the proximal end of the second arm 3, a plurality of, for example, three mounting holes 7e, 7f, 7g penetrating in the thickness direction of the second arm 3 are provided side by side at a predetermined interval in the length direction of the second arm 3. And the third fishing line locking body 7 is fixed by a screw shaft 7h inserted into any one of the mounting holes 7e, 7f, 7g from the back surface side of the second arm 3. In short, this third fishing line locking body 7 can be attached at any position of the mounting holes 7e, 7f, 7g, and the attachment position of the third fishing line locking body 7 can be changed by changing the attachment positions of these mounting holes 7e, 7f, 7g.

[0021] Furthermore, an angle fixing body 8 is provided on the base side of the second arm 3, beyond the most base mounting hole 7g, for fixing the opening angle (rotation angle) θ between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 at a predetermined position (for example, an unfolding angle of 60°). This angle fixing body 8 has a through hole 8a that penetrates through the second arm 3 in the thickness direction, and a pressing body (stopper) 8b is inserted and attached from the surface side of this through hole 8a. A coil spring 8f, which is a biasing member that biases the pressing body 8b toward the back side of the second arm 3, is attached to the surface side of the through hole 8a of the second arm 3. This coil spring 8f is biased and attached by an annular ring body 8c that covers the periphery of the through hole 8a on the surface side of the second arm 3. This ring body 8c is configured to prevent the pressing body 8b from coming out of the through hole 8a of the second arm 3 and to hold it in place. Furthermore, the portion of the pressing body 8b that protrudes from the surface side of the second arm 3 is provided with a gripping portion 8d for pulling the pressing body 8b toward the surface side of the second arm 3. The portion of the pressing body 8b that protrudes from the back side of the second arm 3 is a cylindrical locking projection 8e.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, a fitting hole 2b is provided on the base end side of the first arm 2, which penetrates in the thickness direction, into which the locking projection 8e of the pressing body 8b protruding from the back side of the second arm 3 fits when the second arm 3 is stacked on top of the first arm 2 (storage state). This fitting hole 2b is configured such that when the second arm 3 is rotated relative to the first arm 2 to create a storage state in which the second arm 3 is stacked on top of the first arm 2, the locking projection 8e of the pressing body 8b fits into the fitting hole 2b of the first arm 2, thereby maintaining (storage fixing) the stored state of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3. Furthermore, with the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 in their retracted state, the pressing body 8b can be opened by grasping the gripping portion 8d of the pressing body 8b and pulling it toward the surface, thereby retracting the locking projection 8e of the pressing body 8b into the fitting hole 2b of the second arm 3, and opening the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 by rotating them relative to each other around the pivot fixing portion 4 as the center of rotation.

[0023] When the opening angle θ of the second arm 3 relative to the first arm 2 becomes 60°, the locking projection 8e of the pressing body 8d moves outward from the surface of the first arm 2, releasing the biasing force of the pressing body 8b on the locking projection 8e by the surface of the first arm 2. This causes the locking projection 8e to protrude from the back surface of the second arm 3 due to the biasing force of the coil spring 8f, and to fit into the concave fitting recess 2c provided on the side of the first arm 2.

[0024] Furthermore, a rectangular flat plate body 9 is attached to the rotatable fixing part 4, which rotatably connects the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, as a fixing part for fixing the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 to the outside. This plate body 9 is rotatably attached by overlapping it with the back side of the first arm 2 and inserting the bolts of the rotatable fixing part 4 that connect the first arm 2 and the second arm 3. A belt hole 9a is provided near the upper end of this plate body 9, opening along the width direction of the plate body 9. A belt body 9c, to which a removable fastener 9b such as a side-release buckle is attached, is inserted and attached through this belt hole 9a.

[0025] <How to use> Next, a method for using the fishing line tying aid 1 according to the above embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0026] First, to change the fishing line tying aid 1 from the stored state shown in Figures 4 to 6 to the usage state shown in Figures 1 to 3, the knob 8d of the angle fixing body 8 is pulled towards the user to release the engagement of the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8 with the fitting hole 2b of the first arm 2. In this state, the first arm 23 and the second arm 3 are rotated relative to each other around the pivot fixing body 4 until the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8 overcomes the first arm 2 and engages with the fitting recess 2c of the first arm 2, thereby opening them up to the usage state shown in Figures 1 to 3.

[0027] At this time, the opening angle θ between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is fixed at 60°, which is the optimal opening angle when braiding an FG knot N using the first fishing line locking body 5 of the first arm 2 and the second fishing line locking body 6 of the second arm 3, and also the optimal opening angle when tightening the braided portion using the first fishing line locking body 5 of the first arm 2 and the second fishing line locking body 6 and third fishing line locking body 7 of the second arm 3, allowing for easy application of force.

[0028] Furthermore, in this state, remove the fastener 9b, wrap the belt body 9c around a column or pipe, then fix the fastener 9b, and fix the fishing line tying aid 1 in any position. Alternatively, with the fishing line tying aid 1 in its stored state, the belt body 9c may be fixed to a column or pipe, and then the fishing line tying aid 1 may be changed from the stored state to the usable state.

[0029] Next, as shown in Figure 7, the tip of the main line L1 is wrapped around the second fishing line locking body 6 of the second arm 3 and secured. At this time, the main line L1 is firmly and securely fixed to the second fishing line locking body 6 by wrapping it tightly so that it bites into one of the locking grooves 6j of the second fishing line locking body 6. After that, a portion of the main line L1 is wrapped around the first fishing line locking body 5 of the first arm 2 and secured, leaving a little slack from the position where it was fixed to the second fishing line locking body 6. At this time as well, the main line L1 is firmly and securely fixed to the first fishing line locking body 5 by wrapping it tightly so that it bites into one of the locking grooves 5e of the first fishing line locking body 5.

[0030] In this state, while pressing the tip of the leader L2 against the center of the main line L1 between the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6, pull the entire fishing line knotting aid 1 towards you, thereby pulling the center of the main line L1 towards you and applying tension to a portion of the main line L1 fixed by the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6, making it roughly V-shaped. Then, wrap the main line L1 around the tip of the leader L1 alternately from left to right to create an FG knot N.

[0031] For details on how to create this FG knot N, please refer to the YouTube® (registered trademark) video provided by the applicant (https: / / www.youtube.com / watch?v=q2pBY34wlJs). At this time, the opening angle θ between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is fixed at approximately 60° by the fitting of the first arm 2 into the fitting recess 2b by the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8.

[0032] Then, after removing the portion of the main line L1 that was wrapped around and secured to the second fishing line locking body 4 from the second fishing line locking body 6, a half hitch is made with the main line L1 on the second fishing line locking body 6 side to temporarily secure it to the leader L2. After that, as shown in Figure 8, while lightly pulling the leader L2, the part of the braided section closer to the base end is wrapped around and secured to the third fishing line locking body 7. At this time as well, by wrapping the leader L2 forcefully so that it bites into one of the locking grooves 7i of the third fishing line locking body 7, the leader L2 is firmly and securely fixed to the third fishing line locking body 7.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9, the portion of the leader L2 closer to the base end than the portion wrapped around and fixed to the third fishing line locking body 7 is wrapped around and fixed to the second fishing line locking body 6. At this time as well, by wrapping the leader L2 forcefully so that it bites into one of the locking grooves 6j of the second fishing line locking body 6, the leader L2 is firmly and securely fixed to the second fishing line locking body 6.

[0034] In this state, for example, by gripping the first fishing line locking body 5 with the left hand and the second fishing line locking body 6 with the right hand, as shown in Figure 9, a large force is applied with the rotating fixing part 4 as the center of rotation to relatively open the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, gradually tightening the part in which the main line F1 is woven into the leader F2. At this time, a large force can be applied to each of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 using the lever principle with the rotating fixing part 4 as the center of rotation, and the woven part can be tightened firmly, evenly, and in a balanced manner with relatively little force. For example, the force with which an adult male can open his arms is generally said to be about 40 to 50 kg, but with the lever principle acting between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, a large force of about twice that, 80 to 100 kg, can be applied between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3.

[0035] Next, remove the leader L2 from the second fishing line locking body 6 and the third fishing line locking body 7, respectively, and remove the main line L1 from the first fishing line locking body 5. Then, after braiding the main line F1 into the leader F2 and tightening it, make several alternating half hitches on the tip of the section, tie an end knot, and then cut off the protruding part of the tip of the leader L2 and any unnecessary parts of the main line L1. If necessary, further, use a lighter or similar tool to melt the end of the leader L2 sticking out from the tip of the braided section and flatten it into a disc shape to prevent it from coming loose, thus completing the FG knot N.

[0036] Next, remove the fastener 9b and detach the fishing line tying aid 1 from a column, pipe, or the like. Furthermore, to return the fishing line tying aid 1 from the use state to the stored state, pull the knob 8d of the angle fixing body 8 towards you to release the engagement of the first arm 2 with the fitting recess 2c by the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8.

[0037] In this state, the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 are rotated relative to each other around the rotation fixing part 4 until the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8 fits into the fitting hole 2b of the first arm 2, thereby closing them and achieving the usage state shown in Figures 1 to 3. At this time, the fitting of the first arm 2 into the fitting hole 2b by the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8 restricts (fixes) the rotation of the second arm 3 relative to the first arm 2, thus putting the fishing line tying aid 1 into a stored state.

[0038] <Effects and Effects> For example, in general fishing line knotting aids described in Patent Document 1, etc., the leader and main line are braided together and a half hitch is made. After removing the leader and main line from the fishing line knotting aid, the ends of the braided portion, that is, the leader portion and the main line portion, are gradually pulled with great force to tighten the braided portion and complete the FG knot.

[0039] Here, when using a relatively thin leader of about 60lb, which is commonly used, to tie to a main line of about 2lb, it is possible to tighten the FG knot securely with human strength. However, when fishing for large targets such as marlin or bluefin tuna, it is necessary to tie a very thick 300lb leader to a 15lb main line.

[0040] In this case, since the average adult male's arm strength is generally said to be around 40-50 kg, a force of about 100 kg would be required to firmly tighten an FG knot with a 300 lb leader and a 15 lb main line, making it practically impossible to tighten it using only the strength of both arms.

[0041] Traditionally, the leader L2 and main line L1 were wrapped around some kind of pipe (such as a line breaker) to secure them, one end was stepped on with the foot, and the other end was held with both hands, and the knot was tightened using the strength of the back muscles, much like measuring back strength. For example, the average back strength of an adult male is generally said to be around 100 kg. However, with this tightening method, tightening an FG knot with a thick line is inaccurate and difficult, and there is even a risk of damaging the line itself by applying unnecessary force to the main line L1 and leader L2.

[0042] The fishing line tying aid 1 according to the present invention aims to solve these problems. As described above, similar to a general fishing line tying aid, the main line L1 is wrapped around the tip of the leader L2 using the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6. Then, the tip of the main line L1 that has been wrapped around and fixed to the second fishing line locking body 4 is removed from the second fishing line locking body 6, and this main line L1 is used to temporarily fix the leader L2 by making a half hitch.

[0043] In this state, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, while gently pulling the base end of the leader L2, wrap a portion of the leader L2 from the braided section towards the base end around the third fishing line locking body 7 and secure it. Furthermore, wrap the portion of the leader L2 closer to the base end than the portion wrapped around and secured to the third fishing line locking body 7 around the second fishing line locking body 6 and secure it.

[0044] Then, by using both hands to relatively open the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 with the rotating fixing part 4 as the center of rotation, the lever principle acting on the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 with the rotating fixing part 4 as the center of rotation allows the woven part to be tightened firmly, securely, and in a balanced manner with approximately twice the force.

[0045] As mentioned above, the force with which an adult male can open his arms is generally said to be around 40-50 kg. However, due to the lever principle acting between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, a force of twice that amount, around 80-100 kg, can be applied between these two arms. Therefore, as described above, even when tying a very thick 300 lb leader to a 15-gauge main line using an FG knot N, the braided section can be tightened firmly, securely, and evenly, resulting in a high knot strength.

[0046] Therefore, even with such a thick leader L2 and main line L1, the tightening process when creating the FG knot N can be done easily, securely, and reliably. In particular, even in fishing spots with poor footing or on a rocking boat, it is easy and reliable to tie the very thick leader L2 to the main line L1 with the FG knot N, so if part of the leader L2 is damaged during a fishing trip, it can be easily and reliably re-tied (replaced) during the trip.

[0047] Furthermore, when the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 are rotated relative to each other to open them, the opening angle θ between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is fixed at 60° by the engagement of the first arm 2's fitting recess 2b with the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8. Although it is possible to open them further, they cannot be closed unless the gripping portion 8d of the angle fixing body 8 is pulled.

[0048] As a result, when the center of the main line L1 is pulled towards the user while the tip of the leader L2 is pressed against the center of the main line L1 between the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6, the opening angle θ between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is fixed, and tension is applied to a portion of the main line L1 fixed by the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6, making it roughly V-shaped. Therefore, from this state, the main line L1 can be wrapped around and braided alternately from left to right while tension is applied to the tip of the leader L1, making the braiding of the FG knot N easier.

[0049] Furthermore, in the open position of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, the gripping portion 8d of the angle fixing body 8 is pulled towards the user, releasing the engagement of the first arm 2 with the fitting recess 2c of the first arm 2 by the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8. Then, the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 are closed, and the locking projection 8e of the angle fixing body 8 is fitted into the fitting hole 2b of the first arm 2 to create the stored state, thereby fixing the rotation of the second arm 3 relative to the first arm 2. Therefore, in this stored state, the relative rotation of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 is fixed, preventing the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 from opening during preparation, cleanup, or transport, significantly improving user convenience.

[0050] Furthermore, the first arm 2 is designed to be longer than the second arm 3, and the first fishing line locking body 5, the second fishing line locking body 6, and the third fishing line locking body 7 are provided protruding from the surface side of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, respectively. This configuration allows the second arm 3 to be stored on top of the first arm 2 without the first fishing line locking body 5 and the second fishing line locking body 6 coming into contact. As a result, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 can be stored in a straight line, making the storage state very compact. For example, this reduces the space occupied in a tackle box and also reduces the cumbersomeness when carrying it.

[0051] Furthermore, the first to third fishing line locking bodies 5 to 7 are constructed by arranging multiple O-rings 5c to 5d, 6a to 6i, 7a to 7c and pipe bodies 5b, 7b, and locking grooves 5e, 6j, 7i are provided between these O-rings 5c to 5d, 6a to 6i, 7a to 7c and between the pipe bodies 5b, 7b to firmly lock the main line L1 and leader L2.

[0052] Therefore, when winding the main line L1 or leader L2 onto the locking grooves 5e, 6j, or 7i of any of the first to third fishing line locking bodies 5 to 7, by winding them firmly so that they bite into one of the locking grooves 5e, 6j, or 7i, the main line L1 and leader L2 can be securely and firmly fixed to the first to third fishing line locking bodies 5 to 7. Thus, even slippery PE line (main line L1) or thick fluorocarbon / nylon line (leader L2) can be securely and firmly fixed to the first to third fishing line locking bodies 5 to 7 with a simple operation, thereby improving ease of use for the user.

[0053] Furthermore, a plate body 9 is attached to a rotatable fixing part 4 that rotatably supports the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, and a belt body 9c with a fastener 9b attached is attached to this plate body 7. Therefore, before weaving the main line L1 into the leader L2 or tightening the woven main line L1 into the leader L2, the plate body 9 can be fixed to some column or pipe, etc., using the fastener 9b and belt body 9c, thereby fixing the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 with the plate body 9 as a fixing point. Thus, the work of weaving the main line L1 into the leader L2 and tightening the woven main line L1 into the leader L2, which are performed using the first arm 2 and the second arm 3, can be done reliably, easily, and accurately, greatly improving the ease of use for the user.

[0054] [others] It should be noted that this invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but includes various variations. For example, the embodiment described above was explained for the purpose of making the invention easier to understand, and the invention is not necessarily limited to having all the configurations described.
