Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A novel gangion for longline fishing gear is disclosed. Prior gangions consisted of a length of braided nylon cord or twine. The present invention provides a gangion consisting of a reduced length of braided nylon cord attached to the gangion snap. The hook is connected to a length of heavy monofilament nylon line. The nylon monofilament is connected in turn by a swivel to the braided nylon. The problem with twisting and tangling of the gangion is thereby overcome.
