Description

A fast-flow adjustable fishing float Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to an adjustable fishing float that is resistant to rapid currents. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing is becoming increasingly popular, and fishing floats are an essential tool for angling. They serve as a means of transmitting information about fish biting the hook. By observing the movement of the float, anglers can determine if a fish has taken the bait. However, traditional upright fishing floats commonly sink in fast-flowing waters when using a sliding sinker for fixed-point fishing. As the float is pushed sideways by the current, its fixed structure (including the float tip, body, and stem) causes the tip to gradually sink. If a high-buoyancy upright fishing float is used, the larger its volume and cross-sectional area, the greater the area affected by the current. Even if it doesn't sink, the excessive buoyancy makes it difficult for fish to pull the line while taking the bait, hindering the timely and effective transmission of the bite signal. Thus, the float loses its function of transmitting information about the fish biting the hook. Technical issues

[0003] In order to solve the existing problems in the background art, the present invention patent is to provide an adjustable fishing float that is resistant to rapid currents, which overcomes the technical problem of traditional upright fishing floats sinking in flowing water when fishing in fast-flowing water, and provides anglers with timely and effective information about fish bites. Technical solutions

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this invention patent proposes for the first time an adjustable fishing float resistant to rapid currents. It combines a double-line anti-current fishing method and solves the aforementioned technical problems through the following technical means: An adjustable fishing float resistant to rapid currents includes a float tip, signal transmission line, compression spring, limiting tube, quick-release swivel, and a longitudinal elastic mechanism composed of the protective guide tube and the float tip, arranged sequentially from the bottom of the protective guide tube upwards. A central ring at the center of the universal joint connects this longitudinal elastic mechanism to a spindle-shaped float body with an integrated float body locking component, and the spindle-shaped float body is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the protective guide tube. The spindle-shaped float body provides buoyancy on the water surface, ensuring the float tip remains upright in rapid currents. Combined with a thinner extension line connecting the signal transmission line and the quick-release swivel, the direct connection between the float and the hook is extended to transmit signals while minimizing the length of the fishing line subjected to the force of the current, ensuring sensitive fish bite signals are transmitted in rapid currents. Beneficial effects

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It features a universal joint, a spindle-shaped float body, and a longitudinal elastic mechanism. Regardless of the current speed, the float tip always remains upright above the water surface. The fish bite signal is transmitted through a signal transmission line, which drives the spindle-shaped component at the bottom of the float tip to compress the spring, causing the float tip to move up and down. This not only maintains the traditional upright float reading habits but also overcomes the limitation of floatless rod fishing in windy weather. This invention, combined with the double-line anti-current fishing method, allows for bottom fishing with a sliding sinker and a less sensitive setup, or for fishing with a long rod and short line locking the float body and suspending the sinker for a more sensitive setup. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate, allowing beginners to easily start fishing in flowing water, and experienced anglers to learn even faster, thus expanding the fishing area for both new and experienced anglers.

[0006] Preferably, the spindle-shaped sheet-like float (4) adopts a spindle-shaped profile.

[0007] [Correction 08.11.2024 according to Rule 91] Preferably, the universal joint (3) structure (see Figure 5).

[0008] [Correction 08.11.2024 according to Rule 91] Preferably, the working principle of the universal joint (3) is shown in Figure 6.

[0009] [Correction 08.11.2024 according to Rule 91] Preferably, the chemical fiber material distribution of the universal joint (3) is shown in Figure 7.

[0010] Preferably, the signal transmission line (8) is made of flexible wear-resistant chemical fiber.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It features a universal joint, a spindle-shaped float body, and a longitudinal elastic mechanism. Whether using a suspended float with a sensitive setup or a bottom-fishing setup with a blunt sinker, in calm water, the fish bite signal is transmitted through the signal line to the spindle-shaped component at the bottom of the float tip, which in turn compresses the spring, causing a slight movement of the float body. This creates ripples on the water surface, causing the float tip to move up and down, thus transmitting the fish bite signal twice. It also overcomes the limitation of using a taut rod in windy conditions. This invention, combined with a double-line anti-current fishing method, allows for both bottom-fishing with a blunt sinker and sensitive suspended floating with a long rod and short line. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate, allowing beginners to easily learn to fish in flowing water, and experienced anglers to learn even faster, expanding the fishing area for both new and experienced anglers.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. This invention patent provides a technical solution: an adjustable fishing float resistant to rapid currents, including a protective guide tube 1, with a float tip 2 inserted sequentially from the bottom end of the protective guide tube 1. One end of a signal transmission line 8 is fixed to the central structure of an annular plate-like component at the bottom of the float tip 2, and the other end of the signal transmission line 8 passes through a compression spring 6 and is fixedly connected to a quick-release figure-eight ring 9 at the center of a limiting tube 7 and the outside of the bottom end of the protective guide tube 1. The limiting tube 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom end of the protective guide tube 1, limiting the float tip 2 and the compression spring 6 to move between the top of the protective guide tube 1 and the limiting tube 7. Together, they form a longitudinal columnar elastic mechanism, which is connected by a central ring at the center of a universal joint 3. The spindle-shaped float body 4, which is concentrically inserted with the integrated float lock 5 component, is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the protective guide tube 1. It is connected and fixed to the line divider 10 on the fishing line by means of the quick-release figure-eight swivel 9. The float lock 5 component is locked by the line sleeve on the float lock 11 and the tightening component. In this way, the spindle-shaped float body 4 is locked to the fishing line. The rod tip 17 restrains the spindle-shaped float body 4, so that the spindle-shaped float body 4 is stable in the same position in the rapid current. It can also shield the line segment between the float lock 11 and the rod tip 17 from the influence of the float sensitivity. At the same time, during casting and lifting, locking the spindle-shaped float body 4 makes the fixed-point casting landing point accurate and the lifting of the rod easier and smoother.

[0021] When using it, the first step is to visually estimate the water flow speed of the fishing river. Based on the speed of the water flow, select the appropriate combination of longitudinal elastic mechanism and spindle-shaped float body 4. If the water flow is fast, select a combination of longitudinal elastic mechanism with high force and spindle-shaped float body 4 with high buoyancy. If the water flow is slow, select a combination of longitudinal elastic mechanism with low force and spindle-shaped float body 4 with normal buoyancy, and so on, so as to achieve the purpose of matching the flow speed and taking into account sensitivity.

[0022] The second step, the long rod, short line, and suspended bait fishing method (see Figure 3), involves selecting and determining the appropriate float combination based on the current speed. The fishing line is then fixed to the rod tip 17. Using the weight of the first sliding sinker 12, the first limit stop 13, and the quick-release swivel 9 are used to quickly connect and fix the line-splitting stop 10. In mid-water, the corresponding number of segments on the float tip 2 is found. The line-splitting stop 10, connected to the quick-release swivel, is pushed towards the rod tip 17. Continuous upward casting tests are performed until the number of segments on the float tip 2 is greater than the mid-water value. Counting the number of fish indicates that the first sliding sinker 12 has lightly touched the bottom, thus finding the bottom for fishing. Based on the current speed and the length from the hook to the first sliding sinker 12, push the splitter bead 10 up by half the length from the hook to the first sliding sinker 12. This ensures that the bait can lie on the riverbed under the influence of the water flow, making it convenient for fish to feed. After the fish feeds, it will move the first sliding sinker 12, which will cause the float tip 2 to move up or down under the transmission of the signal transmission line 8. Then, lift the rod to hook the fish.

[0023] Connect the line sleeve on the float lock stop 11 to the tightening component and lock the float lock 5 component. This locks the spindle-shaped float body 4 to the fishing line. After locking the spindle-shaped float body 4, push the float lock stop 11 up to a position that is half the length of the spindle-shaped float body 5 and the length of the half-water float tip 2 segments away from the line divider stop 10. This ensures the smoothness of casting and lifting the rod and the force of hooking the fish.

[0024] The third step is to push down the split line stopper 10 as the temperature rises and the fish gradually move away from the bottom. This will cause the float to move downwards and lift the first sliding sinker 12 off the bottom. This will then cause the hook and bait to move off the bottom and search for the fish's activity layer after they have left the bottom, until there is another bite signal, thus achieving the purpose of bottom fishing.

[0025] The fourth step is the double-line anti-current fishing method (see Figure 4). Select and determine the appropriate float combination based on the current speed. Secure the top of the fishing line to the rod tip 17. Fix the first sliding sinker 12 to the end of the fishing line. Pass the guide swivel 14 and the first limiting stop 13 sequentially towards the rod tip 17. Use the first limiting stop 13 to fix the first loop of the guide swivel 14 to the fishing line. Install a float lock stop 11 between the first limiting stop 13 and the rod tip 17. Secure the line to the bottom end of the sleeve 1 using the line sleeve on the float lock stop 11 and the tightening component. The segment of the line that fixes the entire float structure between the first sliding sinker 12 and the rod tip 17 is called the anti-current line. Using the weight of the first sliding sinker 12, the buoyancy of the float's spindle-shaped body 4 is... The traction force of the rod tip 17 works together to resist the thrust of the current. At the same time, the tip of the thin-diameter nylon fishing line is connected to the quick-release swivel 9. Along the direction from the quick-release swivel 9 to the first sliding sinker 12, the hook-setter stopper 15 is installed. After the bottom end of the thin-diameter nylon fishing line is passed through the second loop of the guide swivel 14, the second limit stopper 16 is installed. The fishhook is fixedly installed at the end of the nylon fishing line. The distance between the hook-setter stopper 15 and the second limit stopper 16 is no more than the length of one float tip. The line segment from the quick-release swivel 9 to the second limit stopper 16 is called the signal line. While extending the length of the float, the lateral thrust of the water flow on the signal transmission line is minimized, ensuring that the signal transmission line provides sensitive fish bite signals in fast currents.
