Said second portions of the side edges diverge toward said nodes and Said first portions of the side edges diverge toward said nodes and The invention of claim 11, including:Ī first edge portion, of each side edge extending from said sharp tip Ī second edge portion of each side edge connected with said first portion thereof andĪ pair of nodes defined at the intersection between the first and second portions of said side edges, said maximum lateral dimension being defined between said nodes. In a barbless fish hook having a shank, an eye on one end of the shank, and a curved bend on the other end of the shank all constructed from wire, an improved barbless point structure comprising:Ī barbless point portion located on a distal end on the bend of the fish hook, and defining a substantially flat surface coplanar with the point and parallel to and facing said shank, said point portion spaced at a sufficient distance from said shank to normally preclude the wedging or holding of fish tissue between the point portion of the shank when a fish is caught on said hook, said point portion having a substantially flat configuration smoothly convering with said bend portion and having no extension for retaining a hooked fish thereon pointing generally in the direction of said curved portion andĪ pair of opposite side edges of said point portion coverging toward a free end of the point portion to form a sharp tip on said free end for penetration of fish, said side edges having a maximum distance therebetween defining a maximum lateral dimension on said flat surface greater than the diameter of the wire.ġ2. Said flat surface lies in a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to said common plane.ġ1. Said shank and bend portion occupy a common plane and The invention of claim 8, wherein said first edge portions are curved more gradually than said second edge portions. The invention of claim 5, wherein said first and.ĩ. The invention of claim 6, wherein said first edge portions converge away from said nodes more gradually than said second edge portions converge away from said nodes.Ĩ. The invention of claim 5, wherein said first and second portions of said side edges are substantially straight.ħ. Second portions which connect with thee respective first portions at nodes between which said maximum lateral dimension of said flat surface is defined, said second portions generally converging away from said nodes.Ħ. The invention of claim 4, wherein said side edges include:įirst portions which diverge away from said sharp tip and Said side edges define a maximum lateral dimension of said flat surface greater than the preselected diameter of the wire.ĥ. The invention of claim 1, including opposite side edges of said flat surface which converge toward a free end of said point to form said sharp tip thereon. Said flat surface has a maximum lateral dimension greater than the preselected diameter of the wire.ģ. Said bend portion of the fish hook is formed from wire having a preselected diameter and We have begun to expand our offerings in 2022 by presenting the new hook lines: BASS ADVANTAGE, CATFISH ADVANTAGE, PANFISH ADVANTAGE, with intention on a CARP ADVANTAGE hook line in the near future.Having thus described the invention, I claim:Īn eye on one end of said shank for connection with a fishing line Ī bend portion of the fish hook formed from wire having a preselected diameter connected with the other end of said shank and having a curved configuration andĪ barbless point portion connected with said bend portion and located at a distal end thereof, said point portion spaced at a sufficient distance from said shank to normally preclude the wedging or holding of fish tissue between the point portion and the shank when a fish is caught on said hook, said point portion terminating in a sharp tip and having a substantially flat surface smoothly converging with said end portion with a maximum lateral dimension greater than the preselected diameter of the wire and facing generally parallel and toward said shank and further being defined as having no extension for retaining a hooked fish thereon pointing generally in the direction of the bend portion. You can see these unique ridged hooks by clicking on Grabber sickles, trebles, bead/intruder.īeing the US distributor for Dohitomi, Angler Innovations carries a growing supply of hooks and accessories that include hooks for sport and commercial applications. Of particular note, the Maruto barbless sickle has been a welcome answer to barbless fisheries that are emerging across the world that we present as Grabber Hooks. Many types of finishes and materials are used to make these fine hooks, all of them known worldwide for quality and exceptional sharpness. of Japan, that has been making premium fishing hooks since 1892. Maruto branded hooks are made by Dohitomi & Co., LTD.
