Abstract
This invention called "Weak Rope Fishing Trap Locator" was developed to eliminate sea creatures, mainly Whales, to get entangled in the ropes used to link fishing traps to their buoy.
Currently the trap is link to the buoy with a relatively heavy rope; this rope has to be strong enough to retrieve the trap without breaking. Being that strong creates a problem when a sea creature gets entangled in it, often causing deadly injuries.
Currently the trap is link to the buoy with a relatively heavy rope; this rope has to be strong enough to retrieve the trap without breaking. Being that strong creates a problem when a sea creature gets entangled in it, often causing deadly injuries.
Description
My invention is a concept that uses a very weak rope to link the trap to its buoy; this rope could be single strand or multiple strands. If a sea creature gets in contact with this rope, it simply breaks without any injuries to the creature. Of course this weak rope is not strong enough to retrieve the trap by itself therefore it is used to guide a heavy rope to the trap in order to retrieve it.
One variant of the concept uses a very weak rope to link the trap to its buoy;
this could be single strand or multiple strands. This weak rope is attached at one end to a buoy and the other end to a mating piece installed on the trap. To retrieve the trap, a self-latching hook attached to a heavy rope is lowered into the water, guided by the weak rope down to the mating piece on the trap where it latches to. The trap is then hauled using the heavy rope. In this variant, the mating piece could be replaced by a piece of steel, and the self-latching hook replace by a magnet.
Another variant of the concept is to have the weak rope going from the buoy thru a ring on the trap, then back to the buoy, when the traps needs to be retrieved, a heavy rope is attached to one end of the weak rope, the other end of the weak rope is hauled until both ends of the heavy rope are now in the boat, pulling both strings of the heavy rope will retrieve the trap.
In both of the above variant, multiple traps could be attached together by a heavy rope and link to a buoy by a weak rope.

Claims
l hereby claim part of my invention a system that uses a low braking strength rope to tie one or more fishing trap to its buoy with the purpose of using that low braking strength rope to guide another heavier rope or hook to retrieve the trap.
