Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved fishing hook which is easy to connect a line (fishing line) to a fishing hook easily and easily even when the light is insufficient such as before dawn or dusk. In particular, it is suitable as a fishing hook for fly fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, fly fishing (fly fishing)
There is increasing interest in the sport of fly fishing, which has been favored by people of all ages. Regarding sports fishing for game fishing such as trout including various types such as Atlantic salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, lake trout,
Often, the fly is selected first. This fly is also used for sports fishing, such as kawamememas and chars.

As the sport of fly fishing develops, the fly used is basically a wet fly that sinks the fly into the water to operate like a living insect, and the fly is underwater or A dry fly that floats on the surface of the water in a natural flow (floating hook)
It came to be divided into two groups.

Such a fishing hook generally has a sharp point (needle tip) for hooking a fish as shown in FIG.
Bend 15 with 12 and barb 12
And an eye 13 formed of a perfect circle or an elliptical loop for connecting the line, and a shank (shaft) 1 integrally connecting the bend 15 and the eye 13.

[0005]

One of the requirements in fly fishing is to securely tie the line thread to the fishing hook. However, since many fishing hooks are extremely small in nature, it is often very difficult to insert a line into the eye formed of a complete loop provided at the proximal end of the fishing hook to knot the line. In particular, it is extremely difficult to insert a line into the eye and knot it because it is dim in the early morning and evening when it is generally considered that the fish can be caught most easily and the expected results can be expected. Many immature fishermen also find it difficult to tie a proper knot through the eyeline. Also, as fishermen grow older, their ability to quickly and easily attach to smaller eyes of smaller fishing hooks through the line often diminishes. Furthermore, in fly fishing, it is necessary to frequently replace the fly imitating aquatic insects depending on the conditions of the fishing ground, but there is a problem that fishing hooks with eyes are extremely disadvantageous in replacement due to the reasons described above. are doing.

Therefore, in recent years, many Fisherman's aids have been available to help anglers when passing a line through the eye of a fishing hook. But even these aids are generally less than satisfactory, especially in difficult situations that occur in or along the flow.

[0007] In view of the present situation, the present invention can be applied not only to a skilled fisherman but also to a beginner, and especially to the line of a fishing hook even when the brightness is not sufficient and the weather is bad. An improved, conventional, full-loop closed-eye fly that allows fishermen to easily and easily tie lines to their hooks, even for those with poor vision for near-eye work when threading It is intended to provide fishing hooks for fishing.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is such that when a line is connected to a fishing hook at the base end of a shank having a needle tip with a barb at the tip. , The eye is characterized by forming a knot for locating the line on the same line as the shank or on a parallel line, and providing a means for preventing the line from falling off the hook from the tip of the knot. It is a fishing hook.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The fishhook of the present invention eliminates the need for a closed eye consisting of a complete loop at the end of the fishhook that must be threaded to tie the hook to the line. A point with or without a barb is integrally formed on the tip end of the, and a knot for connecting the line is formed at the base end, and the tip of this knot is formed. The part is integrally formed with a hooking piece for preventing the knotted line from accidentally coming off from the fishing hook.

In the present invention, the knot for connecting the line to the fishing hook has a U-shape, a ring shape, or a rectangular shape. In any case, when the line is knotted to the fishing hook, the line is a shank. It is provided so as to be on the same line as or parallel to the axis line of.

When the line is knotted at the knot of the fishing hook, the line rarely slips out of the hook, but even when the fish is reeled in, the line does not slip out of the hook unnecessarily. A hooking piece is integrally provided at the tip portion.

The shape of the hooking piece is not particularly limited as long as the line is not likely to come off from the fishing hook, but specifically, the tip of the knot is formed into a spherical shape larger than the diameter of the shank. Or by flattening the shank with a section wider than that of the shank by plastically deforming it by means such as crushing the shank.

Further, it is also possible to form a hooking piece at the tip of the knot by projecting a bar on one or both sides of the shank in a linear or arc shape. In this case, it is possible to effectively prevent the slip-out by setting the angle of the projecting portion with respect to the shank of the hooking piece made of a bar that projects linearly or arcuately on the shank to an angle of 90 degrees or less.

Further, in order to make it more difficult for the line to come off from the hooking piece, a recess for engaging the line may be formed between the knot and the hooking piece.

[0015]

The fishing hook of the present invention eliminates the complete loop-shaped eye for inserting the line and connects the line to the knot connected to the shank to easily secure the line on the fishing hook. Can be attached to. Also, since it is not necessary to insert the line into the eye, the line can be tied immediately without the need for visual assistance by other devices to assist the fisherman. In addition, numerous experiments have shown that the hook structure of the present invention when tied to a line is sufficiently sturdy compared to conventional hooks that there is little risk of losing the hook, associated fly or fish. Became. Further, the fishing hook of the present invention can knot the line to the knot part connected to the shank even when the angler encounters the worst weather condition even in the situation where the brightness is the least such as dawn or dusk. it can. In particular, the advantages of the fishhook of the present invention are achieved by a unique knot that allows the line to be tied to the shank of the fishhook so that the fish is of sufficient size and strength to not unravel during use.
