JP2018134066A - Casting aid unit of fly fishing - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a casting aid unit that eliminates the need for a large-scaled device or a unit, enables a correct casting operation to be efficiently learned by a simple structure, and is usable as the casting aid unit in the practical fishing.SOLUTION: A belt or a string is connected in one or more places around the grip of a fly-fishing rod (rod), and the belt or the string is fixed to an upper body. The length is adjusted in accordance with a physique or a casting-style. Then, when the fly-fishing rod (rod) is held by both hands, a triangle is formed by a right hand and a left hand and a fixing part of the upper body, and a portion of the upper body fixed by the belt or the string becomes an axis of rotation. As a result, both hands can perform smooth and accurate circular movement, and an ideal casting operation can bodily be felt and achieved. Also, a distance with the upper body becomes constant by the belt or the string, and therefore the restriction can be applied to the movement of both hands, and thereby the strain and unnecessary operation become impossible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

The present invention relates to a casting aid using a fly fishing rod (ロ ッ ド).

Fly fishing is a sport fishing that swings a dedicated line called a fly line like a whip, flies the fly line to the distance by the weight of the fly line, and fishes fish with a hairpin connected to the fly line. There are various casting styles, but in both cases a lot of experience and practice were required to fly a certain distance and to control (throw the hair to the target location).

The most important movement in casting a fly fishing rod (竿) with both hands is to maintain a triangle connecting the left and right hands and the center of the chest (upper body) (Fig. 5), and the center of the chest. It is difficult to experience the rotation axis, and it is difficult to maintain the triangle.

Fly fishing requires a technique to fly by using the bending force of the rod (し) and putting energy on the weight of the fly line, and excessive force and unnecessary force will adversely affect the flying distance and control Will also lose. When both hands are free to use, it can easily generate strength, and casting requires a high level of concentration and mental power.

At present, these solutions have no choice but to build up their own experience as feedback (resulting in enormous practice) and feedback on the results of slight movement changes. In addition, repeated practice without recognizing any wrong movements often results in bad habits and hinders progress.

There has been proposed a large-scale training apparatus for repeatedly practicing to learn a casting form (for example, US Pat. No. 6,763,628). There is also a proposal to confirm the trajectory and speed of a rod by attaching a projectile to the tip of a fishing rod for fly fishing (US 2002/148154).

US 2002/148154 US Extract 6,763,628

However, these proposals are just practice tools, and cannot be used for actual fishing by flying fly lines in rivers, lakes, seas, etc. to confirm success or failure.
The problems to be solved are that there is no need for large-scale devices and instruments, and that the structure is simple, that the correct casting operation can be learned efficiently, and that it can be used as a casting aid in actual fishing. The purpose is to achieve these three points.

The “fly fishing casting auxiliary device” according to the present invention is a tool for connecting and interconnecting at least one part of a fly fishing rod (半) and the upper body with a string, a belt, a fixing bracket or the like to a certain length.

The most important movement in casting a fly fishing rod (竿) with both hands is to maintain a triangle connecting the three points of both hands and the center of the chest (upper body) (Fig. 5), and both hands with the center of the chest as the rotation axis. Is to move. By using the tool of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the rotation shaft from being shaken and to operate smoothly with both hands, thereby improving the flight distance and controllability. In addition, by using the tool of the present invention, it becomes easy to experience the rotational motion and the rotational axis, and correct repeated exercises with accurate motion are also possible. Furthermore, the tool of the present invention places certain restrictions on the movements of both hands, eliminates unnecessary movements and forces, and significantly improves the success rate of casting, and can reduce fatigue.

It is explanatory drawing which showed Example 1 of the "casting auxiliary device of fly fishing". Example 1 It is explanatory drawing which showed Example 2 of the "casting aid of fly fishing". (Example 2) It is explanatory drawing which showed the usage method of Example 1 of the "fly fishing casting auxiliary device". (Usage example 1) It is explanatory drawing which showed the usage method of Example 2 of the "fly fishing casting auxiliary device". (Usage example 2) "Fly fishing casting form"

The purpose of connecting the upper body with one or more fly fishing rods (ロ ッ ド) was realized with a simple structure and a minimum number of parts without compromising body movements. 1 and 2 show examples, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show how to use the respective examples.

First, Example 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. Reference numeral 101 denotes a fly fishing rod (あ り), which is omitted in its entirety. Reference numeral 102 denotes an upper grip of the fly fishing rod (竿), 103 denotes a fly reel, and 104 denotes a lower grip. Reference numeral 105 denotes a string or belt which is connected to the ends of the upper grip 102 and the lower grip 104. Each side of 105 is connected to 106 hooks. 107 is a strap for hanging around the neck, and 108 is a stopper whose length can be adjusted, which is also used as a safety device.

FIG. 3 shows a method of using the above-described first embodiment. 107 in FIG. 1 is hung on the neck, the length is adjusted, and then a hook 106 is hooked on 107. As a result, a triangle connecting the three points of both hands and the center of the chest (upper body) is made, and a smooth casting form can be obtained. Moreover, it has been devised so that the movement is greatly restricted by connecting the fly fishing rod at two points, and it becomes a casting assisting tool mainly used by beginners and beginners.

Next, Example 2 of FIG. 2 will be described. Reference numeral 101 denotes a fly fishing rod (あ り), which is omitted in its entirety. Reference numeral 102 denotes an upper grip of the fly fishing rod (竿), 103 denotes a fly reel, and 104 denotes a lower grip. Reference numeral 201 denotes a fastener attached to a rod. Reference numeral 202 denotes a hook, 203 denotes a stopper whose length can be adjusted, and 204 denotes a string or belt, which can be hung on the shoulder.

FIG. 4 shows a method of using the second embodiment. 204 in FIG. 2 is hung on the shoulder, the length is adjusted with 203, and a hook 202 is hooked on 201. As a result, a triangle connecting the three points of both hands and the center of the chest (upper body) is made, and a smooth casting form can be obtained. In addition, it is devised to limit the movement by connecting the fly fishing rod at one point, and it is a casting assisting tool mainly used by advanced users.

As described above, according to the present invention, the casting accuracy of fly fishing using a fly fishing rod (ロ ッ ド) can be improved, the flight distance and controllability can be improved, and fatigue can be reduced. Can do. Furthermore, the practice curriculum premised on the use of the present invention enables efficient practice without mistakes, and can be expected to improve in a short period of time.
