Bait Hooking Device with Guide Rod and Clamping Components
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for hooking live baits like earthworms and seaworms on fishhooks are tedious and require direct handling, which many people find resistant due to the need for pinching and piercing.
Innovation Solution
A bait hooking device with a first clamping component, a second clamping component, a guide rod, and a bait moving component that allows for the bait to be clamped and guided onto the fishhook without direct contact, using a system of clamping portions, a guide rod, and a pressing portion to move the bait onto the hook.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional manual methods are used to pinch and pierce earthworms onto fishhooks, then the operation can be completed, but the process is tedious and requires direct handling that many people resist
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guide tube as an intermediary tool between the user and the earthworm. The guide tube with its needle portion allows the earthworm to be threaded through without direct finger contact, making the operation easier and less resistant while maintaining efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The fishhook is pre-positioned on the guide tube before the earthworm is threaded. This preliminary arrangement of components streamlines the hooking process, reducing the steps required and eliminating the need for complex manual manipulation during the actual baiting action
2Productivity
If manual pinching and carrying of earthworms is used, then the bait can be positioned on the fishhook, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The guide tube and fishhook are merged into a single integrated assembly where the fishhook is positioned on the guide tube. This combination eliminates the need for separate handling of multiple components, simplifying the operation while maintaining high productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The guide tube serves as a mediator that simplifies the complex manual operations by providing a structured path for the earthworm and a stable platform for the fishhook, reducing both time and complexity of the hooking process

AI summary
The project of the present disclosure is to provide a measure for easily putting an earthworm and the like onto a fishhook without causing a finger to touch the earthworm.[Solution] A bait hooking device 1 is provided with: a first clamping component 2 having a first clamping portion 23 and a fishhook guide member on the front end side 2b, wherein the first clamping component 2 is connected with the start end side 2a to enable opening and closing by a shaft; a second clamping component 3 provided with a second clamping portion 33 on the front end side 3b; a guide rod 41 provided between the first clamping component 2 and the second clamping component 3 and running through a bait clamped to the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 33, so as to be clamped to a fishhook guided by the fishhook guide member; and a bait moving component 5 having a pressing portion 52 close to the guide rod 41 and causing the pressing portion 52 to move along the guide rod 41 to the fishhook side.
