The present invention provides an anti-snagging device for use when fishing, particularly of the type for use when fishing for fish which feed at or near the bottom of a body of water. The anti-snagging device comprises an elongate leg member, a float member mounted on the leg member at a position to hold the leg member in an upright position when in the water, a fishing line attachment means for attaching the device to a fishing line, a fishhook attachment means mounted on the float member laterally of the leg member for suspending the fish hook therefrom, and weight means for biasing the bottom end of the leg member downwards and for countering the buoyancy of the float such that the device will sink when in water. In use the anti-snagging device suspends a fish hook in a position above the bottom of the body of water thereby helping to prevent the fish hook from becoming snagged in debris or plants on the bottom of the body of water, and prevents the fish hook from coming to rest in, or being obscured by, mud on the bottom of a body of water.

La présente invention fournit un dispositif anti-accrochage pour faire de la pêche, plus particulièrement du type utilisé pour pêcher des poissons qui se nourrissent au fond ou près du fond d'une masse d'eau. Le dispositif anti-accrochage comprend une tige allongée, un flotteur fixé à la tige de façon à garder la tige en position verticale dans l'eau, un moyen pour fixer le dispositif à une ligne de pêche, une attache fixée au flotteur en position latérale par rapport à la tige pour accrocher l'hameçon, et un plomb pour, à la fois, aider la partie inférieure de la tige à se diriger vers le bas et contrebalancer la flottabilité du flotteur afin que le dispositif puisse s'enfoncer dans l'eau. Pendant l'utilisation, le dispositif anti-accrochage met l'hameçon en suspension au-dessus du fond du cours d'eau, aidant ainsi à prévenir l'accrochage de l'hameçon dans les débris ou dans les plantes se trouvant au fond de l'eau, et à empêcher que l'hameçon soit enterré dans de la boue au fond de l'eau, ou soit caché par cette dernière.
