Abstract
A combination fishing net and snagged-hook retriever has a tubular handle with a telescopically extendable member carried within. The extension member is axially removable from the net handle when retrieval of a snagged hook is necessary. A preferred hook retriever is a split-ring device having a pair of bent arms which substantially encircle the line proximate to the hook, enabling multi-directional forces to be applied to the hook resulting in its disengagement.
Claims8
A combination fishing net and snagged-hook retriever comprising
- a fishing net mounted on a frame,
- an elongated hollow tubular handle operatively connected to the frame,
- an elongated handle extension member telescopically mounted within the handle, being movable between a retracted position fully enclosed within the handle and an extended position in which only a portion of the extension member remains within the handle,
- hook-retrieving means mounted on an end portion of the extension member and having a maximum diameter not exceeding the diameter of the extension member such that when the extension member is retracted, the hook-retrieving means is entirely enclosed within the tubular handle, and stop means for releasably locking the extension member in a retracted or extended position,
- the hook-retrieving means comprising a ring member formed by a pair of arms, and a slot in the ring member permitting access of a fishing line therethrough.
