Abstract
A fishing tackle system can be used to catch fish without the use of any hooks. The system can be used with a fishing pole and fishing line. The system can include a first clip member having a first clipping segment and a second clip member having a second clipping segment. The second clip member can be pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a spring-loaded first pivot axis. The system can include a pivoting member pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a second pivot axis or a post that separates the first and second clip members from each other. The first and second clip members can hold the mouth or lip of the fish when they are closed together. The fish can be released by pinching a first pinching segment and a second pinching segment, thus separating the first and second clipping segments.
Claims19
A fishing tackle system, comprising:
- a first clip member having a first clipping segment;
- a second clip member having a second clipping segment, the second clip member pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a first pivot axis;
- and
- a pivoting member pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a second pivot axis disposed at a first end of the first clip member;
- wherein a length of the pivoting member is less than a length of the first clipping segment and the length of the pivoting member is less than a length of the second clipping segment;
- wherein the pivoting member is disposed between the first end of the first clip member and a first end of the second clip member, the pivoting member configured to hold apart the first clip member and the second clip member in an open position;
- wherein the pivoting member is configured to pivot about the second pivot axis when contacted by a force of a fish's mouth to cause the first clip member and the second clip member to close upon each other with a pressure sufficient to hold an edge of the fish's mouth between the first end of the first clip member and the first end of the second clip member;
- and
- wherein the fishing tackle system is free of any hooks, barbs, and points configured to penetrate the fish.
A fishing tackle system, comprising:
- a first clip member having a first clipping segment;
- a second clip member having a second clipping segment, the second clip member pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a first pivot axis;
- and
- a post coupled with the first clip member;
- wherein a length of the post is less than a length of the first clipping segment and the length of the post is less than a length of the second clipping segment;
- wherein the post is disposed between a first end of the first clip member and a first end of the second clip member, the post configured to hold apart the first clip member and the second clip member in an open position;
- wherein the post is configured to move when contacted by a force of a fish's mouth to cause the first clip member and the second clip member to close upon each other with a pressure sufficient to hold an edge of the fish's mouth between the first end of the first clip member and the first end of the second clip member;
- and
- wherein the fishing tackle system is free of any hooks, barbs, and points configured to penetrate the fish.
