Fishing Storage Container with Rod-Mounted Fasteners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing storage solutions, such as Sabiki rods, are cumbersome, expensive, and inefficient for storing and untangling multiple hook rigs, leading to frustration and safety hazards during fishing.
Innovation Solution
A compact, attachable fishing device with a container that holds the jig line and hooks, featuring fasteners and tie points to secure the line to a fishing rod, preventing tangling and allowing easy storage and deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional storage methods are used, then hooks can be stored, but they become tangled and frustrating to untangle
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the storage function into separate components: a dedicated container for holding hooks, a reel for managing the fishing line, and a rod for support. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, preventing hooks from becoming tangled while enabling quick deployment and storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The container acts as an intermediary between the hooks and the external environment, providing a protected space where hooks are held securely without exposure to objects that could cause tangling. The reel serves as an intermediary for line management, controlling the line's path and preventing entanglement during storage and retrieval.
2Reliability
If Sabiki rods are used, then hook entanglement is prevented, but the device becomes stiff, bulky, heavy, and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the storage function from the support structure by using a detachable container that can be attached to various rod types. This modular approach eliminates the need for a specialized bulky Sabiki rod structure, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining reliable hook storage and entanglement prevention.
Solution Approach 2:
The container is designed to attach to standard fishing rods, making the storage solution universal rather than requiring specialized Sabiki rods. This multi-functionality allows the same storage device to work with existing rod inventory, reducing device complexity and eliminating the need for separate specialized equipment.
3Quantity of substance
If Sabiki rods are used, then multiple hook rigs can be stored, but the device occupies limited physical space inefficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The container is designed to nest against the rod body, utilizing the rod's volume efficiently. The container can be attached close to the reel housing, allowing multiple hook rigs to be stored in a compact configuration that minimizes the overall space occupied by the fishing setup on boats or kayaks.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a linear Sabiki rod structure to a three-dimensional storage configuration where the container wraps around or attaches to the rod body. This dimensional change allows hooks to be stored in a compact volume close to the user's body, maximizing storage capacity while minimizing the space occupied in the water or on the boat.

AI summary
A fishing system includes a container having a cavity sized to pass a jig line therethrough and to store the jig line and fasteners for releasably connecting the container to a fishing rod. The fasteners are configured to secure ends of the jig line to an exterior of the container.
