Removable Fishhook Hanger for Fishing Reel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fishing reels with integrated fishhook hangers are cumbersome and pose a risk of injury as they are permanently locked, hindering efficient handling and increasing the risk of damage to the reel.
Innovation Solution
A fishing reel design featuring a removably locked fishhook hanger with a locking bolt and hook or ring configuration, allowing easy attachment and detachment, and a curved connection part to prevent the fishhook from disturbing the user, combined with protrusion-shaped male locking parts for enhanced security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the fishhook hanger is permanently locked to the reel body, then the fishhook is prevented from damaging the reel, but the user's handling efficiency is reduced and injury risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fishhook hanger is designed with a removable locking mechanism that allows it to transition between fixed and movable states. The locking part can be engaged to secure the hanger to the reel body for protection, or disengaged to allow removal for improved handling, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The fishhook hanger is separated from the reel body as an independent component with a locking interface. This segmentation allows the hanger to function as a protective element when locked, while enabling easy removal when not needed, balancing protection needs with handling efficiency
2Reliability
If the fishhook hanger is permanently locked to the reel body, then the fishhook is secured, but the risk of user injury increases
Solution Approach 1:
The removable locking mechanism enables the user to adapt the security level of the fishhook hanger based on situational needs. When high security is required, the hanger is locked; when handling efficiency or safety is prioritized, the hanger can be removed, thus resolving the contradiction between security and injury risk
3Reliability
If a complex locking mechanism is used for the fishhook hanger, then the attachment security is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to be self-operating through simple user actions. The locking part engages and disengages without requiring complex tools or procedures, maintaining attachment security while minimizing device complexity and ease of use

AI summary
A fishing reel equipped with a fishhook hanger and a fishing rod using the fishing reel. The fishing rod includes a fishing rod body; and a reel body mounted to the fishing rod body, the reel body having a female or male locking part; and a fishhook hanger including a fishhook hanging part for hanging a fishhook thereon, a connection part extending from the fishhook hanging part, and a male or female locking part that extends from the connection part and corresponds to the locking part of the reel body, wherein the female or male locking part and the male or female locking part are configured to be removably locked to each other. The fishing rod further includes a holding unit that can hold a fishline, a fishhook, a sinker connected to the fishline, or a sinker connector that connects the sinker to the fishline.
