An umbrella rig 10 that allows the arms 30 to open for fishing and collapse for storage. Utilizing embodied passages 21 and integrated axis 23 inside a rigid cap 20, a simple one piece construction rigid cap 20 can be manufactured to allow the arms 30 to open and collapse without using multiple parts. In addition, a bolt 12 or magnets 32 can be used to hold together the rigid cap 20 and base 26 for fishing or collapsing the arms 30 for storage.

In some embodiments, a magnifier defines a longitudinal axis A. The magnifier includes an arm with a distal end and a proximal end. A magnifying pane is located at the distal end and an engagement member is located at the proximal end. In various embodiments, the arm includes a distal segment, a mid segment, and a proximal segment. The distal segment is generally linear having a length L1 projected onto the longitudinal axis and is angled about 45 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis A. The mid segment is generally concave having a length L2 projected onto the longitudinal axis A. The proximal segment that is curved having a length L3 projected onto the longitudinal axis A and is convergent relative to the longitudinal axis A.

A hand-held device used for fishing to secure the fishing knot to a hook. Having (4) four holes (2) two rear oval holes of equal size for finger insert support and (2) two smaller front holes of different sizes for hook safety support as the hand pulls to create tension in the fishing line.

A device and method for forming a knot to elongated material is provided. The device includes a body, a central cavity inside the body, a material track along which the elongated material is guided in the device, the material track including opening extending along the material track and open to the central cavity. The device further includes one or more barrier elements for blocking at least part of the opening for preventing the elongated material from escaping from the material track also prevents collapsing/folding of the material to the central cavity via the opening.

An artificial bait with a split ring has a high tensile strength and an easily detachable hook and prevents the hook from freely rotating in water. In the artificial bait provided with the split ring with the replaceable hook, the split ring is characterized in that at least one end of the wire formed in a ring shape is curved in a direction away from the intermediate portion.

A flexible swivel has a flexible toroid described by an internal major diameter, a fore ring, a body, and an aft ring. The flexible toroid is attached to the fore ring. The fore ring is attached with a rotatable fore joint to the front of the body. The aft ring is attached to the back of the body.
