PROVIDIONAL DELICATION.
Improvements in Lines for Deep Sea Fishing and in the
Manipulation of same.
I, GEORGE PURDY of No. 4 Gardner Street, North Shields, in the County
of Northumberland, Net Curer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
.
My invention is designed to give greater strength and durability to lines used in
deep sea fishing to facilitate shooting out and hauling in the lines and the baiting
of the hooks and removal of the fish.
Instead of the ordinary twine or cord lines, which are vory perishable and
frequently break, I propose to use lines of small iron or steel wires, preferably
galvanised, made into a flexible cord of about and to end of an inch in diameter,
according to the strength required for the vessel employed and the kind of fishing,
and in this cord at proper intervals are formed "eyelets" to attach the hooks which
is done by a simple attachment such as a spring hook which may be.conveniently
formed of a bent wire, to the tail end of which the "cast" or snood of the bait hook
is secured, instead of being permanently attached to the line.
"
To facilitate the shooting out and hauling in of the line I propose to use a winch
roll fixed at a suitable position in the boat capable of holding 10 to 20 miles of line,
as the case may be, and the line is reeled, without the hooks, which have been
detached and are ready baited to be attached by the spring hooks to the "cyelets
in the line as it is reeled out. When the line is to be hauled in the winch roll is.
operated by hand and the line reeled on, each hook as it comes in with (or without)
a fish is detached and the fish taken off when the hooks are laid aside to be cleared
and re-baited. By this means much time is saved the baiting of the hooks is more
easily done, the line on the reel is unencumbered with the hooks and when the line
is to put out the hooks, ready baited, can be attached by the spring clips as quickly
as it is reeled off and the hook being then clear of the boat's "gunwale" there is
no entanglement between one hook and the others nor with the gear in the boat.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1892.

Improvements in Lines for Deep Sea Fishing and in the
Manipulation of same.
I, GEORGE PURDY, of No. 4 Gardner Street, North Shields, in the County
of Northumberland, Net Curer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention is designed to give greater strength and durability to lines used in
deep sea fishing, to facilitate shooting out and hauling in the lines and the baiting
of the hooks and removal of the fish.
Instead of the ordinary twine or cord lines, which are very perishable and
frequently break, I propose to use lines of small iron or steel wires, preferably
galvanized, made into a flexible cord of various sizes, according to the strength
required for the vessel employed and the kind of fishing, and on this cord at proper
intervals are formed collars" between which the bait hooks are attached to the
line and which keep them sufficiently apart. Attachment is effected by a spring

Third. In combination with deep sea fishing lines formed of iron or steel wires
into a flexible cord with collars or equivalent stops thereon, to keep the bait hooks
at suitable distances apart, the separate ❝ gnoods ог "casts carrying the bait
hooks with spring hooks, for attaching them to or detaching them from the line,
and a winch roll for reeling in the line substantially as described and in part shewn
with the objects hereinbefore stated.
