Hello everyone.
Basically im 20 years old and an engineer and have a passion for fishing. I have come up with two inventions and wanted to see what you guys think of them. There both patented but have no idea how to get them out in shops or interest from tackle companies.
My first idea is a idea based on your standard umbrela used for fishing. The thing that anoys me with them , and hopefully all you guys is the pole bang in the middle supporting it making it hard to get everyting under the umbrela. Ive designed one where it can be inside or outside, optimising space with competive priceing, also just as easy to put and pack away.
The second idea has come from more modern fishing techniques, fishing in the margins. As keepnets are getting longer and longer which is making them impratical for margin fishing. This is due to the fish been spooked by the net due to the fish not been able to carry out its normal route around the margins. So this means having a shorter net for these ocasions, as you can see both nets have there good points and bad points. Now i've got a clip mechanism, allowing you to shorten a net as much as you want and when needed you can lengthen it back. It takes about 10 minutes to fit and is permently fitted to the net. And the beauty is, you can attach it to the nets you already have. All you do is in the midle ring, or whichever ring you desire, on either side cut a small hole about a 1cm wide and attach the clip,open the clip and put as many off the ringlets in it as you want, then shut the clip and jobs done. The clips i have msde and been using have had 120lb of fish in and dont affect the net in any way and when lifting net out of water havent even flexed.
So i hope you fishing lads will like them ideas, will try and get photos to show you, feel free to criticise, or aplaud, and ask questions
