ABSTRACT:
A safety fishing line release includes a first arm, a second arm, a spring, a first frictional pad, a second frictional pad, and a peg. The first arm has a tab opening at a first end which is sized to loosely receive a tab disposed at a first end of the second arm. The second arm has a pad opening at a second offset which is sized to facilitate insertion of the second end of the first arm therethrough. The first and second frictional pads are fastened to the second ends of the first and second arms, respectively. A peg extends outward perpendicularly from the second frictional pad. A peg opening is formed in the first frictional pad and second end of the first arm. A spring is inserted between the first and second arms, the spring forces the first frictional pad against the second frictional pad such that a fishing line maybe fictionally retained between the first and second frictional pads. A typical fishing line release may be also improved by adding a peg to eliminate the possibility of detachment from a fishing line. The safety fishing line release may be further improved by using the peg as a pivot to retain a pulley. A second safety feature utilizes a first and second prong to retain the fishing line instead of the peg or in combination with thereof. The safety fishing line release may be further improved by adding a force adjustment device. A second preferred embodiment of the safety fishing line release utilizes a force adjustment device and a simpler design.
