Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a fishing system capable of reducing loss due to entanglement with environmental obstacles. The most common form of device is a sinker. The construction of this system allows the user tension the line in different direction to extricate the fishing element from obstacles by easily reversing the direction of line tension.
Claims19
A snag resistant fishing sinker system, comprising
- a. a first filament having a first and second end;
- b. a sinker weight being attached to said first filament proximate said ends;
- c. an attachment link to a fishing line, slidably engaging said first filament so that it can selectively slide between ends;
- so that the link can be moved by tensioning of a fishing line to avoid entanglement of the system with environmental obstacles.

A snag resistant fishing device comprising
- a. a first substantially rigid filament having a first and second end;
- b. a second substantially rigid filament joining said first and second ends forming corners therewith;
- c. a fishing element engaging said second filament;
- d. an attachment link to a fishing line, slidably engaging said first filament so that it can selectively slide between ends;
- so that the link can be moved by tensioning of a fishing line to avoid entanglement of the system with environmental obstacles.
2 more elements
A method of making a snag resistant sinker system comprising the steps of:
- a. suspending a fishing element to the ends of a substantially rigid filament;
- b. establishing a plurality of corner bends in said filament;
- c. Slideably attaching a fishing line to said filament capable of sliding therealong and engaging said bends;
- so that tensioning the fishing line at different angles can cause the slidable attachment to move to bend most effective in disentangling said sinker system from environmental obstacles.
