Abstract
A flared double fish hook having a pair of shanks, said pair of shanks adjacent one another up to a bifurcation point; the shanks bifurcating at said bifurcation point to each form a bend ending in a point; the shanks being separated by an first angle at the bifurcation point, and a second larger angle at the points, such that the bend portion of the double fish hook flares.
Claims24
A flared double fish hook comprising:
- a) a pair of shanks, said pair of shanks adjacent one another up to a bifurcation point;
- b) said shanks bifurcating at said bifurcation point to each form bends ending in points;
- c) said shanks being separated by an first angle at said bifurcation point, and a second angle at said points, said first angle being smaller than said second angle by at least 25°.
A method of manufacturing a flared double fish hook comprising:
- a) cutting a wire to a length, said wire length having a first end opposite a second end and a middle therebetween;
- b) folding said wire length in half at said middle such that a portion of said wire is adjacent another portion of said wire;
- c) forming an eye at said middle;
- d) bending each end of said wire at a bifurcation point to form a bend, the wires being separated by an angle of at least 5° at said bifurcation point;
- e) sharpening said first end and said second end to form a first point and a second point;
- f) bending said points away from each other such that said wire flares from at or near said bifurcation point to a larger angle at said first end and said second end.
A improved double fish hook, comprising two fish hooks, each hook comprising a shank attached to a bend and ending in a point, said two fish hooks adjoined along said shanks, said two fish hooks separated by an angle at a bifurcation point near said bends and separated by said angle at the points, the improvement comprising flaring an angle of separation between said two fish hooks, such that an angle of separation increases from said bifurcation point to a larger angle at said points.
A flared double fish hook, comprising two fish hooks having a common eye, and adjacent shanks until a bifurcation point, and each fish hook having a bend, a point and a barb, said bend being separated by a first angle at said bifurcation point and being separated by a second larger angle between said points.
A flared double fish hook, comprising:
- a) means for receiving fishing line;
- b) shank means extending from said means for receiving to a bifurcation point;
- c) a pair of bent sections integrally formed with said shank means at said bifurcation point;
- d) each of said bent sections ending in points;
- e) said bent sections increasingly flared away from each other from said bifurcation point to said points.
An improved fish hook, a fish hook having a means for receiving fishing line and a bent section ending in a penetrating hook, with a shank connecting said means for receiving fishing line to said bent section, the improvement comprising a non-red color finish, a glitter finish, or a differentially reflective finish on said fish hook.
