Abstract
In ice fishing the fishing line passes through top and bottom holes in a container for liquid allow the fishing line to move through the container when pulled. A non-freezing liquid is poured from a supply into the container arranged such that the fishing line can move through the container when pulled with the non-freezing liquid preventing the line from freezing to the container or to the holes therein. The line may have a plug for butting against the bottom one of the holes to temporarily prevent the escape of liquid prior to the container being dropped into the ice fishing hole when the water will prevent the escape of the liquid.
Claims18
Apparatus for use in fishing with a fishing line comprising:
- a container arranged to be mounted adjacent the fishing line so as to pass through or adjacent the container;
- and a liquid arranged to be placed within the container and arranged to have a freezing point below that of water such that the liquid is non-freezing during ice fishing conditions such that the fishing line can pass through the liquid, with the liquid preventing the line from freezing into the ice.
Apparatus for use in fishing with a fishing line comprising:
- a container which is closed to define a hollow interior for containing a liquid and has a top hole and a bottom hole allowing access to the hollow interior to allow the fishing line to pass through the container;
- the container being arranged to contain a liquid arranged in the container such that the fishing line can pass through the liquid in the container when pulled;
- the container including a top cap portion and a bottom portion fastened to the cap portion;
- the top cap portion including the top hole and a sleeve extending downwardly from the top hole into the hollow interior of the container such that the area of the cap around the sleeve contains air for buoyancy which is prevented from escaping through the top hole by the sleeve;
- the sleeve terminating at a lower end of the sleeve within the hollow interior such that the hollow interior of the container below the lower end of the sleeve includes the liquid with the fishing line extending from the lower end of the sleeve through the liquid to the bottom hole.
Apparatus for use in fishing with a fishing line and a container which is closed to define a hollow interior for containing a liquid and has a top hole and a bottom hole allowing access to the hollow interior to allow the fishing line to pass through the container;
- the apparatus comprising a refill supply of a liquid which arranged to be placed within the container and arranged to have a freezing point below that of water such that the liquid is non-freezing during ice fishing conditions such that the fishing line can pass through the liquid in the container when pulled, with the liquid preventing the line from freezing to the container or to the holes therein.
