Abstract

The invention relates to artificial bait for fishing and, more specifically, to winged balancers, and can be used for expanding the functional possibilities of a balancer and improving the play of the latter in water. The fishing balancer comprises an elongated body, at least two wings attached to lateral surfaces of the body so as to be able to open freely, and also attachments on the body for a fishing line and hook. The wings are suspended on the lateral surfaces of the body with the aid of elements, which are fixed rigidly on said body, such that the wings can open to the side opposite the attachment for the fishing line and are designed to ensure that the balancer glides when plunged into water, the ratio of the width of the wing to the length thereof being >1, wherein wing-opening limiters are formed on the body and/or on the wings.

Description

 Fishing balance

 The invention relates to artificial baits for fishing, and more specifically, to balancers with wings, and can be used to expand the functionality of the balancer and improve its play in water.

 Known fishing balancers with wings that improve their play in the water, which are rigidly connected to the body of the bait, or are made integral with it. Balancers have devices for attaching fishing lines and fishing hooks (RU80310, RU2279799, etc.).

 Known balancers have the following disadvantages. As a result of the constructive implementation of the wings (always in the open state), the bait has a large surface area, which when winding the line leads to high resistance to the movement of the balancer in the water and makes it difficult to win. In addition, the game of the balancer in the water in the pauses between the windings of the fishing line as a result of the rigid fastening of the wings is very limited. Also, in well-known balancers, it is not possible to use one balancer for different types of predatory fish that respond to different colors of bait, which limits their use.

The closest to the claimed balancer in terms of the set of essential features is the bait according to patent document JP2000197432 (IPC A01K85 / 00, published on July 18, 2000). The bait contains an elongated body, wings mounted on the side surfaces of the body with the possibility of free opening, as well as fastenings on the hull for fishing line and hook. The wings take a closed position along the hull during the diving of the bait, and their further opening depends on the flow of water and the strength of the twitching of the fishing rod, and the wings open towards the attachment for the fishing line. The disclosure of the wings is limited by a step formed due to the difference in the diameters of the parts of the body. The disadvantage of the prototype is the following.

 The bait is designed to quickly submerge in water and attract fish after immersion. The wings sway with the flow of water and practically do not affect the behavior of the bait in the water, in particular, they do not ensure the planning of the bait, which is important if the bait is used as a balancer. This limits the functionality of the bait and reduces the effectiveness of fishing.

 The objective of the invention is to increase the efficiency of fishing by expanding the functionality of the bait, providing controlled planning when the bait is immersed in water.

 The problem is solved by a fishing balancer containing an elongated body, at least two wings, mounted on the side surfaces of the body with the possibility of free opening, as well as mounting on the body for fishing line and hook. Unlike the prototype, the wings are suspended on the side surfaces of the casing with the help of elements rigidly fixed on it so that they can open in the direction opposite to the attachment for the fishing line and are designed to provide balancing when immersed in water with the ratio the width of the wing to its length> 1, moreover, on the body and / or on the wings made limiters of the disclosure of the wings.

 According to the invention:

 - a through channel is made in the housing, passing at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing;

 - wings are suspended with the possibility of removal and replacement;

 - the elements for hanging the wings are made in the form of rings with a slit or with a clasp of the "carabiner" type, or piano loops, or rods;

- the wings opening limiters are made in the form of protrusions of arbitrary shape on the surface of the wings or the body and (or) in the form of parts, located in the housing with the possibility of their movement in the transverse direction with respect to the housing;

 - the wings are made of a material having a density heavier than the density of water;

 - on the case from opposite ends single hooks are rigidly fixed.

 - the body is made in the form of a fish with a head, back, abdomen and balancing tail;

 - a triple hook is suspended under the abdomen, for example, on a chain;

 - the back of the fish is made flat or streamlined (curved), or concave, or having a flat bevel in one direction, or having opposite bevels in different parts of the back;

 - the balancer additionally contains a cover made of elastic material made in the form of a fish with a head and a tail, an abdomen and a back, and the cover has openings for elements for hanging the wings, and a longitudinal section is made in it along the head hour - ty, back and tail, or along the head, abdomen and tail, sufficient for free insertion of the balancer with hooks, as well as additional cuts along or across the head and tail, sufficient to release the stings of the hooks when closing melting the balance with fish, and all cuts are closed due to the elasticity of the material or with the help of special glue or fasteners;

 - the tail of the cover is made in the form of two tails, and a hook fixed in the tail of the balancer is located between them;

 - on the case, protrusions of arbitrary shape or bristles made of elastic material are made in several rows.

The technical result of the invention is achieved by the design of the bait-balancer. The implementation of the wings and their location on the body provide planning of the bait during immersion in water, which can but to regulate by changing the opening angle of each wing, as well as by the size of the replaceable wings.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

 figure 1 shows the balancer fishing;

 figure 2 - balancer containing an elastic cover;

 in Fig.Z - balancer with wings mounted on the body using a rod;

 in FIG. 4 a) - a balancer with a wing opening limiter located in the body in a position that provides uniform angles of opening of the wings;

 in FIG. 4 b) - a balancer with a wing opening limiter located in the body in a position providing different angles of wing opening.

 The fishing balance (figure 1) contains a housing 1, wings 2, fasteners 3 for fishing line and hook, elements 4 for hanging wings, limiters 5 disclosure of wings. The balancer contains rigidly fixed hooks 6 located at opposite ends of the housing 1, a hook 7 suspended under the abdomen. A through channel 8 is made in the housing. The balancer may comprise a cover 9 (FIG. 2) in the form of a fish made of elastic material. The cover has a cut 10 and additional cuts 1 1. On the cover at any place, protrusions 12 of arbitrary shape are made in several rows to lubricate the cover with attractants.

Balance fishing works as follows. When the balancer is immersed in water, the oncoming stream opens the freely suspended wings 2, and the balancer begins to plan in the water, going sideways to the length of the fishing line and attracting fish. The planning of the bait can be adjusted by the size of the wings, which can be changed. The collapse of the wings is prevented by a stop 5 located on the body and / or wing. In the case of a limiter in the form of a part moving in the body across but to him (see Fig. 4), the balancer's game can be varied by changing the opening angle of each wing. The part moving in the housing can be made in the form of a cylindrical rod having a thread.

 The wings 2 can be easily removed from the body 1 and changed to others due to the design of the elements 4 in the form of rings with a slit or with a clasp like a carabiner, or piano loops, or similar fastenings. Wings 2 can be made in any color. Changing the wings of one color to the wings of a different color, you can use the same balancer to catch different types of predatory fish. When lifting the bait out of the water, wings 2 fold and do not create resistance to the movement of the balancer.

 Thanks to the through channel 8 made in the housing and the original shape of the back of the balancer, an even greater variety of its playing in water is achieved. Oppositely directed bevels on the back of the balancer contribute to its twisting (smooth entry into the corkscrew) when it is sharply lifted up.

 When using an elastic cover 9, the hooks 6 are not visible, which does not deter fish and increases the efficiency of fishing. When the balancer is swallowed by fish, additional cuts 1 1 are unbent, releasing the sting of hooks 6. The cover is put on the balancer through cut 10 and closed either with special glue or fasteners, or by spontaneous compression of the cover in the cut area due to the elasticity of the material and restoration of the original forms. For elements 4, holes are made in the case. The cover can be lubricated with an attractant ointment, which is well retained by the protrusions 12.

 Thus, the claimed invention extends the functionality of the bait and by providing controlled planning during immersion of the bait in water increases the efficiency of fishing.
