Abstract
A longline fishing system which is attached to a fishing boat for the purpose of lessening wear and tear on the fishing line has an improved reel and an auxiliary hauler. The reel is made from a plurality of arcuate sections forming a core. End plates are attached to each end of the core. The diameter of the core and the diameter of the end plates are related to prevent over stressing the line. The auxiliary hauler is placed between the stern and the reel to accept a portion of the hauling load.
Claims17
A long line fishing system having a reel for storing fishing line and adapted to engage an independent power source, said reel comprising:
- an elongated center cylindrical section having a first diameter and a first and a second end plate at each opposite end of said elongated center cylindrical section, said first and second end plate having a second diameter, said first diameter being more than one-half of the second diameter.
The long line fishing system having a reel for setting and hauling several miles of fishing line, said reel comprising an elongated center cylinder and a first end plate and a second end plate at each end of said elongated center cylinder, said first and second end plate having a greater diameter than said center cylinder, said center cylinder composed of a multiplicity of elongated sections extending from said first end plate to said second end plate, said elongated sections having a first end, a second end, and an arcuate cross section, said first and second ends of said multiplicity of arcuate cross sections fixed to said first and second end plate.
An auxiliary hauler for use in a long line fishing system having a powered reel for hauling and setting several miles of fishing line under a hauling load, said hauler comprising at least one pulley having a plurality of broad grooves to create initial friction on said line, said pulley connected to a power source, said hauler adapted to accept a portion of the hauling load, said pulley angularly oriented with regard to said reel preventing twisting of said line between said pulley and said reel.
