Diverter cone device

摘要

The present invention relates to a fishing rig having a fishing line, a fixture, a conical diverter and a hooking device. The conical diverter has a cylindrical wall portion that is contiguous with and extends from a conically-shaped wall portion having an aperture in the narrow end that allows the fishing line to pass through. The aperture has a diameter that is larger than a thickness of the line and smaller than a width of the fixture, which is attached to the line. The line passes through the aperture so that when the fishing rig is pulled through water, the fixture is positioned inside the conical diverter and prevents the narrow end of the conical diverter from traversing the line toward the hooking device beyond the fixture, thereby allowing the conical diverter to be pulled through the water ahead of and spaced from the hooking device.

主权项

1. A fishing rig comprising:
a line having a pole end, a hook end, and a fixture fastened to the line there between; a conical diverter comprising:
a conically-shaped wall having a wide end and a narrow end, and having a first length (L1) extending from the narrow end to the wide end, wherein an aperture in the narrow end has a diameter that is greater than a thickness of the line and smaller than a width of the fixture, anda cylindrical wall having a second length (L2), wherein the cylindrical wall is contiguous with and extends from the wide end of the conically-shaped wall, and wherein the ratio of the first length to the second length (L1/L2) ranges between about 12.5 and about 22.5; and a hooking device fastened to the hook end of the line,wherein the pole end of the line passes through the aperture so that when the fishing rig is pulled through water, the fixture is positioned inside a volume defined by the walls of the conical diverter and prevents the narrow end of the conical diverter from traversing the line toward the hooking device beyond the fixture, thereby allowing the conical diverter to be pulled through the water ahead of and spaced from the hooking device; and wherein the ratio of the first length to the second length (L1/L2) minimizes water turbulence so as to not negate a diversion effect created by the conical diverter when the conical diverter is pulled through water.
