Abstract
A roatable hands free fish dehooking device (1) used for safely removing hooks and lures from a fish's mouth and/or body. The hands free dehooking device has a rigid ring (2) located on an end of an elongated arm (3) that is mounted to a fixed or stationary object (6), such as a box (8), boat (7), or other object that anchors the ring and arm in a fixed position for use. The ring and arm may also be rotatable so the hands free dehooking device may be rotated into a stored position or an operating position.
Claims5
A hands free dehooking device for removing hooks from fish comprising:
- a ring located on a distal end of an elongated arm;
- the elongated arm having a proximal end;
- the ring surrounding a central aperture;
- a slot located in the ring to allow a user to insert a fishing line through the ring and into the central aperture;
- an aperture located on the proximal end of the elongated arm;
- the elongated arm being rotatably and slidably mounted to a substantially U-shaped channel rail via a bolt having a head the engages the channel rail;
- and
- the bolt further having a post extending upward perpendicularly from the head of the bolt and the channel rail when the bolt is engaging the channel rail, the post disposed in the aperture in a manner that allows the elongated arm and the ring to be rotated in relation to the channel rail.
A hands free dehooking device for removing hooks from fish comprising:
- a ring located on a distal end of an elongated arm;
- the elongated arm having a proximal end;
- the ring surrounding a central aperture;
- a slot located in the ring to allow a user to insert a fishing line through the ring and into the central aperture;
- a post extending downward from the proximal end of the elongated arm;
- a base plate having a cylinder, the post being rotatably and slidably received in the cylinder such that the elongated arm is movable between a stowed position and an in-use rotated position relative to the base plate;
- and
- a spring surrounding the post to provide support for the elongated arm when in a raised and rotated use position.
