Abstract
A dual line cast net retrieving device is disclosed having a cast net body with a central horn connected to a net webbing, to be thrown into a water body for fishing. The cast net retrieving device includes a hand line that is operatively connected to a swivel of the cast net body, and a horn line that is connected in parallel to the hand line through a plurality of couplers. The horn line is removably connected to the central horn of the cast net body. A pulling of the horn line through the plurality of couplers exerts a pulling force upon the central horn, which alleviates tension in the braille lines of the cast net thereby allowing a user to remove the cast net from being snagged on an underwater obstruction, while avoiding breakage of the braille lines and without the user needing to enter the water.
Claims12
A cast net retrieving device, comprising:
- a cast net body having a central horn connected to a net webbing having a weighted lead line at a distal end thereof, wherein said cast net body is adapted to be thrown by a user into a water body for fishing;
- a hand line having a proximal end opposite a distal end, said distal end connected to a swivel, said swivel connected to a plurality of braille lines slidably extending through 8 said central horn of the cast net body, the plurality of braille lines having respective distal ends connected to the weighted lead line;
- and
- a horn line having a proximal end opposite a distal end, said horn line operatively connected to said hand line through a plurality of couplers, wherein at least one coupler of the plurality of couplers defines a line retainer and defines a line passageway adjacent the line retainer, the line retainer being fixed to a portion of the hand line extending therethrough, the line passageway operatively slidably receiving the horn line therethrough in a sliding engagement,
- said distal end of the horn line connected to said central horn of said cast net body, the horn line adapted to exert an uplifting force upon the central horn and the connected net webbing, upon a horn line pulling by the user through the plurality of couplers, said uplifting force configured to alleviate tension in said braille lines when the weighted lead line is snagged upon an underwater obstruction.
