Fish release assembly
View Patent ↗In the disclosed embodiments, a fish release assembly comprises a lanyard comprising a first loop, a second loop, and a pliable structure operatively connected to the second loop of the lanyard; and a sinker release. The sinker release is a cylindrical body comprising: a spring-loaded plunger, a slot, a first eyelet, a second eyelet; a first swivel; and a second swivel. A sinker is operatively connected to the cylindrical body via a hook line. The cylindrical body is operatively connected to the first swivel and the second swivel. The spring-loaded plunger actuates a release mechanism of a fish secured on the lanyard.
1 . A fish release assembly comprising:
a lanyard comprising a first loop, a second loop, and a pliable structure operatively connected to the second loop of the lanyard;
a sinker release, wherein the sinker release is a cylindrical body comprising: a spring-loaded plunger, a slot, a first eyelet, and a second eyelet;
a first swivel; and
a second swivel;
wherein the cylindrical body is operatively connected to the first swivel and the second swivel;
wherein the cylindrical body is a hollow body and the spring-loaded plunger resides in the hollow body.
2 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the slot is proximal to the spring-loaded plunger.
3 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second swivels each comprise an extending body and a dual loop structure.
4 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pliable structure makes an operational connection with the slot.
5 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second eyelets each comprise a looped metal connection point fused to the cylindrical body.
6 . The fish release assembly of claim 5 , wherein the looped metal connection point fused to the cylindrical body is U-shaped or oval shaped with a stem.
7 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first loop of the lanyard is proximal to a first metal crimp.
8 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , further comprises a bead which is fitted onto the first loop of the lanyard.
9 . The fish release assembly of claim 8 , wherein the bead is configured to receive a force to actuate a release mechanism.
10 . The fish release assembly of claim 9 , wherein the release mechanism is depressing the spring-loaded plunger.
11 . The fish release assembly of claim 10 , wherein the spring-loaded plunger is depressed, thereby engaging or disengaging a part of the lanyard from the spring-loaded plunger.
12 . The fish release assembly of claim 10 , wherein a bottom portion of the lanyard maintains connection with the sinker release, when the pliable structure is fitted into the slot.
13 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second loop of the lanyard is proximal to a second metal crimp.
14 . The fish release assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pliable structure is configured to resemble a figure eight snap.
15 . A method for releasing a fish caught on a fishing line, comprising:
placing a fish release assembly into an aquatic environment for catch the fish; wherein the fish release assembly comprises:
a lanyard comprising a first loop, a second loop, and a pliable structure operatively connected to the second loop of the lanyard;
a sinker release, wherein the sinker release is a cylindrical body comprising: a spring-loaded plunger, a slot, a first eyelet, and a second eyelet;
a first swivel; and
a second swivel;
wherein the cylindrical body is operatively connected to the first swivel and the second swivel;
wherein the cylindrical body is hollow and the spring-loaded plunger resides in the hollow body.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first loop of the lanyard is proximal to a first metal crimp.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the spring-loaded plunger is depressed, thereby engaging or disengaging a part of the lanyard from the spring-loaded plunger.
18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the pliable structure of the lanyard is configured to derive at least two loops.
19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the pliable structure makes an operational connection with the slot.
20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the second loop of the lanyard is proximal to a second metal crimp.
