Abstract
A quick set fishing rig and fish hook for live bait is disclosed. The hook includes a main portion, at least one hook portion, and a shank for releasably anchoring the hook into the body of the live bait. The shank extends substantially straight out from the main body portion of the hook and preferably has at least one stabilizing fin provided thereon. The shank is inserted under the skin of the live bait, thus anchoring the hook portions on the live bait. The stabilizing fins of the shank prevent the hook from rotating about the shank axis while in use, and assists the hook to quickly release from the bait when a fisherman or woman sets the hook. The hook is preferably used in connection with a rig providing for the adjustability of the length between a front single hook of the rig and the hook of the present invention.
Description
- The present invention relates to hooks for fishing and, particularly, a quick set fishing rig and fish hook for live bait, specifically, a fish hook having an anchoring shank for anchoring the fish hook in the body of the live bait, and a method of rigging the same.
- Fishing hooks, in general, are “J”-shaped pieces of metal having an eyelet at the top of the “J” for attaching a fishing line, and a barb at the opposite end of the “J.” The most common types of fishing hooks are the single hook, and the treble hook. While both types of hooks are found on artificial lures, typically, only a single hook is used for live bait.
- However, when fishing with live bait for large game fish such as musky, it is very desirous to attach more than one hook to the live bait. It has been known to attach, in addition to a single hook through the mouth of the live bait, a treble hook approximate the mid-section of the bait. To do so, an additional line segment with a treble hook attached, is run from the single hook, back along the bait to a desired location. One of the barbs of the treble hook is embedded into the bait, leaving the other two barbs exposed to hook a fish.
- While such a rig provides the desired additional hooks for live bait, there are disadvantages associated with the same. One major problem with such prior art rigs is encountered when a fisherman or woman attempts to set the hook into the game fish striking the bait. To set a hook, a fisherman must provide a quick strong jerk to the bait, which is intended to cause the exposed hooks to embed into the mouth of the game fish. However, as the fisherman or woman jerks the prior art rig, the barb of the treble hook which is attached to the bait tends to embed deeper into the bait. As a result, the force of the jerk to transferred to the bait, and the exposed barbs of the treble hook all too often do not embed into the game fish. Further, the resultant jerk can pull the bait and the hooks from the mouth of the striking fish. As a result, the game fish is not hooked, and the live bait is injured or killed. Thus a new live bait must be rigged and substantial time, not to mention the game fish, is lost. In general, any hesitation or hinderance in the movement of the hooks when setting the hooks, could result in failing to hook the game fish.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a method and device for rigging a live bait with extra hooks, in such a manner that increases the chances for quickly and successfully hooking a striking game fish. The present invention solves the above identified problems associated with prior art rigs and methods of rigging live bait with extra hooks.
- The present invention relates to a hook for live bait. The hook of the present invention includes a main portion, at least one hook portion, and a means for anchoring the hook into the body of the live bait. The means for anchoring, as illustrated, takes the form of an anchoring shank extending substantially straight out from the main body portion of the hook. The anchoring shank preferably has at least one stabilizing fin provided thereon.
- In use, the anchoring shank is inserted under the skin of the live bait, thus anchoring the hook portions on the live bait. The stabilizing fins of the anchoring shank prevent the hook of the present invention from rotating about the shank axis while in use.
- The hook of the present invention is designed in such a manner that when a fisherman or woman goes to set the hook, the present invention pulls free of the live bait. This allows the hook portions to embed into the mouth of the striking game fish without hinderance from the live bait.
- The hook of the present invention is preferably used in connection with a novel and unobvious rig, providing for the adjustability of the length between the front single hook and the hook of the present invention. Thus, the novel rig can be quickly adjusted for use on varying sized bait.
- Accordingly, it is the principle object of the present invention to provide a method and device for rigging live bait with extra hooks.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a fishing hook having a means for releasably securing the hook to live bait.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a fishing hook having an anchoring shank.
- It is also an object of the invention to provide an adjustable rig for releasably attaching a supplemental hook to live bait.
- It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a quick set fishing rig and fish hook.
- Numerous other advantages and features of the invention will become readily apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, from the claims and from the accompanying drawings in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same.

- While the invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will be described herein in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the spirit and scope of the invention and/or claims of the embodiment illustrated.
- FIGS. 1 through 4 illustrate the
fish hook 10 of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view ofhook 10.Hook 10 is comprised of amain body portion 20, aneyelet 30 at the top or front end of thebody portion 20, at least one hook portion 40 (two shown) extending from thebody portion 20, and a substantiallystraight shank 50 extending from thebody portion 20. - FIG. 2 is a top view of
hook 10. FIG. 3 is a right side view ofhook 10, i.e., looking in the direction running from theeyelet 30 towards the shank end of thehook 10. FIG. 4 is a front side view ofhook 10. In this view, one of thehook portions 40 is hidden behind thevisible hook portion 40. - As can be seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and4,
hook portions 40 andshank 50 meet and integrally formmain body portion 20.Hook portions 40 each include abarb 45 at the end thereof.Shank 50 preferably includes at least one stabilizing fin 55 (two shown as best seen in FIGS. 1 and 4). - As described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 10,
shank 50 is used toremovably anchor hook 10 into the live bait. Stabilizingfins 55 help temporarily hold thehook 10 in place on the bait and prevent thehook 10 from rotating while anchored in the bait. - As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 4, stabilizing
fins 55 differ frombarbs 45. Fishing hook barbs are designed to easily pass through the skin of a fish, while at the same time to be hard to remove therefrom. This is because the barb has a sharp point curving or projecting in an opposite direction from the main point of the fish hook, thus forming a one-way catch point. However,fin 55 does not have such a catch point. Rather,fin 55 is a generally flat, rectangular shape having a curved face which tends to function as a cutting edge. Thus, after having been inserted into the bait, thefins 55 will easily tear or cut through the skin of the bait when the fisherman or woman jerks the rod to set the hook, having an opposite effect as a barb. - FIGS. 5A through 7A schematically illustrate a number of variations of
hook 10, wherein each hook variation has a different number ofhook portions 40. FIG. 5A is illustrated as having twohook portions 40. FIG. 6A is illustrated as having onehook portion 40. FIG. 7A is illustrated as having threehook portions 40. FIGS. 5B, 6B and 7B illustrate schematically a right side view of FIGS. 5A, 6A and 7A respectively. It should be understood that other variations, whether in the number, angle, size or position of the hook portions, are contemplated. Further, thehook 10 can be made of any material known in the art of fishing hooks. - FIG. 8 is a schematic view of the preferred
rig 70 of the present invention.Rig 70, as illustrated, is comprised of aleader 80 attachinghook 10 at one end, and afishing line 75 at another end. A slip bobber (not show) or other bobber can be attached toline 75 as is known in the art.Hook 10 is attached toleader 80 by aswivel 90 via asplit ring 94.Line 75 is attached toleader 80 by aswivel 92. Aloop 85 is formed around and throughbead 100 inleader 80. Attached to theloop 85 by aswivel 104 and asnap fastener 106 is ajig 110. - The combination of
loop 85 andbead 100 allows therig 70 to be adjustable. As best seen in FIG. 9, theleader 80 is threaded through abore 102 inbead 102. Theleader 80 is then looped back around thebead 100, formingloop 85, and then passed throughbore 102 again. By doing so, thebead 100 can be slide to a desired location alongleader 80 by maintaining slack in theleader 80. In this manner, the distance betweenjig 110 andhook 10 can be adjusted as desired, according to the size of the bait. When theleader 80 is taut, as when in therig 70 is in use, thebead 100 cannot be moved. - Referring now to FIG. 10, the
rig 70 withhook 10 is shown positioned for use on alive bait 150 having amouth 160 and abody 170.Bead 100 is adjusted as described above to a desired location providing the desired distance betweenjig 110 andhook 10.Bait 150 is then hooked tojig 110 atmouth 160. The jig hook should be positioned in such a manner that thebait 150 cannot pull free during use, but will break free when the hook is set.Shank 50 is then inserted under the skin ofbait 150, preferably along the upper side ofbait 150, for example approximate the dorsal fin ofbait 150. It should be understood however thathook 10 could be positioned in any desired location alongbait 150.Stabilizer fins 55 help temporarily holdshank 50 under the skin ofbait 150, and preventshook 10 from rotating about the axis of theshank 50 while in use. - When a game fish strikes
bait 150, the fisherman or woman jerks the fishing rod to set the hook or hooks. When this occurs, a force is imparted to therig 70, andjig 110 should break free frombait 150 which is clamped in the mouth of the game fish. Simultaneously, hook 10 will easily and quickly release frombait 150, with the intent of embedding into the mouth of the striking game fish.Stabilizer fins 55 allow for easy removable of theshank 50 from under the skin of the bait by tearing or cutting through the skin. Because thehook 10 is not hindered as are prior art rigs, the likelihood of hooking the game fish is increased. - It is to be understood that the embodiments herein described are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope from the claims which follow.
