PURPOSE: To obtain a fishing paternoster tackle floating near the sea bottom or water bottom to prevent the snagging in underwater obstruction by providing a vertical rudder plate and a side wing plate.

CONSTITUTION: The paternoster tackle is provided with a fixed or swivellable vertical rudder plate 4 and a mobile side wing plate 5. As an alternative, the tackle is provided with a mobile vertical rudder plate and a mobile side wing plate. When the tackle is thrown into seawater or water, it is directed in a definite direction relative to the tidal flow or water flow by the vertical rudder plate and a floating force is generated by the side wing plate to float the tackle 1 near the sea bottom or water bottom and keep in the state. The floating force of the side wing plate assists the pulling-up of a caught fish.
