FISHING TOOLS

The invention relates to a fishing aid as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

It is already known, for example, from US 5 5548919, a so-called boat-towed side planer fishing aid. The side planer includes a float for holding the fishing aid on the surface, a fastener for attaching the tow line to pull the aid, and a plate-shaped keel connected to the float to guide the fishing aid slightly away from the direction of travel of the towing boat and to keep the fishing aid upright. In the publication, all these parts are arranged in a disk-like run-size box. When the fishing aid is towed by a tow line connected to the boat, sufficient tension is generated in the tow line so that a lure line can be connected to the tow line by the release holder, which can thus be pulled laterally at a distance from the boat.

Such a method of fishing is used in conjunction with a tug 20 to catch fish that are relatively far away, e.g. up to 50 m, laterally from the boat's course.

.V: A problem with known side planers is that both the float and the keel are shaped. 25 docked into one or more box-like bodies, which makes the structure complex and expensive.

It is still difficult or impossible to lift the float »101673 2

According to the invention, the fishing aid comprises a body of a single unitary plastic material with two adjacent diaper halves arranged in the shape of the outer surface of the float, with a first fold line between them, by which the diaper halves can be pivoted around the float to attach the float to the body. At the edge of the fin portion of the same integral plastic material as the jacket halves are two adjacent printing housing halves with a second fold line between them, along which the printing housing halves can be folded together into a substantially tight housing with a hollow interior in which the weight can be placed.

The advantage of the invention is that the aided body which can be formed in one working step 15 is inexpensive and simple.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the float is a bottle, such as a plastic bottle or the like. In this case, the diaper-side lizards extending together around the bottle are preferably semicircular in cross-section. The bottle can be, for example, a conventional plastic 1.5 l soft drink bottle. Using ready-made bottles, the float does not need to be prepared separately.

'. Such a bottle is usually transparent, so its'; A light source, such as a conventional flashlight or a glow rod based on a chemical reaction, can be placed inside the 25 to facilitate the visibility of the float. Required- <«; In addition, additional ballast, such as water, can also be placed inside the float bottle, so that its travel depth 30 can be adjusted.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the fin comprises a flexible guide flange adapted to extend in the vicinity of the mouth of the bottle to be bent to rest on the desired side of the bottle to provide the desired steering effect.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the fastener is a flange formed on the outer surface of the sheath half with an opening for attaching a traction line.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the flange 5 has a row of openings for adjusting the attachment point of the towing line.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the weight is a granular bulk material, such as metal shot, substantially heavier than water.

10 In one application of a fishing aid, the weight is a metal rod.

In one application of the fishing aid, the fishing aid includes a flag.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the tag 15 includes a mounting flange having an opening groove or the like adapted to receive the bottle inside the mouth, the tag being attachable to the bottle by means of a bottle cap.

In one embodiment of the fishing aid, the assembly of body 20 and keel is injection molded from polypropylene.

Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a fishing method in which the fishing aid according to the invention, i.e. the so-called the side planner 20 is used. Two side planers 20 are connected by traction lines 21 to a moving boat 22 5 on either side thereof. The side planer 20 floats on the surface of the water and the keel in it keeps it in that direction. Sufficient tightening of the traction lines 21 is provided so that the keel of the side planer is arranged to guide the side planer slightly laterally away from the direction of travel of the boat. The traction line 21 acts as a support member for fishing lines 23 with traction rods 24 at the end. The fishing lines 23 are connected at desired positions along the length of the traction line 21 by known release holders 25 with two jaws loaded against each other by a spring-15. that when the fish strikes the trolling lure, the traction line may come loose between the jaws of the release holder.

Figure 3 shows a side planer with a float 20 1 as a float, preferably a plastic bottle. The float bottle 1 is connected to the body 6 of the side planer. The body 6 is a thin-walled body v of a single uniform plastic material, e.g. polypropylene, with a keel 3 formed by a plate-like fin 4 and a weight at its lower end; ; 25 5. The body 6 further has a fastener 2 for attaching the traction line.

* * As can also be seen in Figure 5, the body 6 has two adjacent diagonal halves 7, 8 of semicircular cross-section arranged in the shape of the outer surface of the float 1. Between the diaper halves 7 and 8 there is a first fold line 9 which acts as a Sara - ··. Nana, along which the diaper halves 7, 8 can be turned «·. around the float 1 for attaching the float to the frame 6. At the edge of the first jacket half 7 there is a planar flange 30 with fastening pins 31 which abut holes 32 in the part 4 of the fin 4 adjacent to the second jacket half 8, to which the 101673 5 is fitted. This mount is removable. The fastening can be carried out by any other suitable known arrangement. The traction line fastener 2 is a fastening flange 15 formed on the outer surface of the sheath half 7, 8 5, which has a row of openings 16 for fastening the traction line. By changing the position of attachment of the traction line by moving it to different openings 16, it is also possible to influence the direction in which the side planer tends to steer.

The fin portion 4 of the keel 3 is a planar portion adjacent to the diaper halves 7, 8 and integral therewith, with two adjacent printing housing halves 10, 11 having a semicircular cross-section at the bottom. Between the printing housing halves 10 and 15, there is a second fold line 12 along which the cam housing halves 10, 11 can be turned against each other so as to form a substantially sealed housing with a hollow interior 13 in which the weight 5 can be placed. At the edge of the first printing housing half 10 20 there are holes 33 which are adapted by a narrow adapter to receive pins 35 in the flange 34 adjacent to the second printing housing half 11, aligned with the openings, which in cooperation with the holes 34 fasten the printing housing halves 10, 11 into an openable case. The plastic materials from which the assembly of Figure 5 is made are preferably fluorescent plastic, which further enhances the visibility of the planer.

«· ·

The weight 5 may be a granular bulk material, such as • · · *** '30 lead shot, allowing the weight to be easily adjusted.

Alternatively, the weight 5 to be placed in the interior 13 delimited by the same printing case halves 10, 11 may be a uniform metal bar.

It can be seen from Figure 3 that the fin 4 has a flexible guide flange 14 adapted to extend in the vicinity of the mouth of the bottle 1 so that it can be bent to support the desired side of the bottle to provide a suitable guide direction for the side planer. In this case, a similar side planner can be used on both the right and left side of the boat, the only difference between them being the position of the guide flange 14.

5 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a flag 17 is also affixed to the side planner to make it easier to see. The flag 17 may be provided with, for example, a prism reflector and / or a light source 26, so that the progress of the side planer can be easily monitored 10 in the dark. The light source can be, for example, an electric lamp, the current required for which can be brought from the boat to the draft using an electrical conductor connected. The badge 17 comprises a fastening flange 18 with an opening 19 adapted to receive the bottle 1 inside its mouth 20, whereby the badge can be fastened to the bottle by means of the bottle cap 21.

The invention is not limited solely to the application examples presented above, but many modifications are possible while remaining within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
