Title: Apparatus for releasing a weight from a fishing line
Inventor: LOCKE MARTIN DAVID
IPC: A01K95/02
Filed: 2010-11-11
Abstract: Apparatus for releasing a fishing weight 4 from a rod line 6. The apparatus comprises a release member (8, fig 4) with a through bore (10, fig 4) and an anchor formation 12, releasable connecting means 14 for releasably connecting to the anchor formation and a fishing weight having a through bore 16. In use a hook line 18 is connected to the rod line and the rod line is passed through the bore in the release member and subsequently through the bore in the weight. A rod line attachment member 22 on the rod line is placed on the anchor formation and the release member is placed in the bore of the fishing weight such that it extends therefrom. A predetermined force between the rod line and the hook line causes an abutment member 20 to force the release member further into the bore of the fishing weight, whereupon the releasable connecting means releases from the anchor formation causing the rod attachment member to release from the anchor formation. Consequently the rod line attachment member passes through the bore in the fishing weight and the fishing weight is released with the hook line still connected to the rod line.
