Description

[0001] Technical field

[0002] The utility model relates to devices for amateur and sport fishing, namely to artificial baits for catching pike and pike perch.

[0003] The state of the art and disadvantages of known designs

[0004] Conventional artificial lures typically have a body or metal casing, a line attachment, a hook, weights, and hydrodynamic elements. As depth, current, vegetation, retrieve speed, and fish activity change, the user is forced to change the lure, add external elements, or accept the loss of a stable action. The disadvantage of such designs is a narrow operating range and limited ability to adjust the mechanical behavior of the lure itself.

[0005] Technical task

[0006] The technical challenge is to create a oscillating spoon, in which the flow stalls in a given zone and maintains the game at low speed.

[0007] Technical result

[0008] The technical result is that the oscillations are maintained at a slow retrieve, the transition to full rotation is reduced, and stability in the current is increased.

[0009] The essence of the design

[0010] This result is achieved by the product's plate-shaped metal body, front mounting hole, hook tail assembly, longitudinal asymmetrical rib, edge grooves, a ribbed reflective zone, and a reinforced tail plate. The relative positioning of these elements ensures the lure's mechanical action in the water flow and maintains its suitability for conventional fishing tackle.

[0011] Design and Operation Description

[0012] This spoon is designed for pike and zander fishing and functions as a standalone device, the technical result of which is determined by the relative positioning and shape of its components. The design includes a metal plate body, a front mounting hole, a hook tail, a longitudinal asymmetrical rib, edge grooves, a ribbed reflective zone, and a reinforced tail plate. This arrangement solves the problem of creating a spoon lure that stalls in a predetermined area and maintains play at low speed. The product requires no electronic units, depth calculators, line tension control, or a separate hook release device, as the operating behavior is generated within the body of the lure itself.

[0013] The basic mechanics of operation are as follows: an offset rib accelerates the flow on one side of the plate, causing the jet to break off earlier and setting the moment of body roll. The oncoming water flow, the weight of the body, the position of the center of gravity, and the resistance of individual surfaces create forces that either bring the lure to its working level, stabilize it, or generate oscillations and vibrations. The angler only uses the standard line and retrieve. The internal and external elements absorb variable loads from the current, the lift, pauses, and contact with grass, rocks, or the bottom, and then return the lure to its normal position.

[0014] A simple mechanical adjustment is performed before use: the front hole can be offset relative to the axis, aligning the pull direction with the rib asymmetry and the desired amplitude. This adjustment does not alter the external principle of the rig and requires no additional leader equipment. The user selects the mode before casting or before starting the retrieve, after which all interaction occurs between the lure components and the water. This is important for boat and shore fishing, as there is no need to completely change the rig when moving from shallow water to a drop-off, from still water to a current, or from active fish to passive ones.

[0015] The structural components withstand impacts, shocks, and dirt. The body is stamped from brass, stainless steel, or nickel silver, the rib is formed by drawing or soldering, and the finish is polished, matte, or a combination of both. Components that absorb force from the fish are separated from the delicate adjustment or acoustic elements. The load from the hooks and split rings is transmitted by reinforced sections of the body, brackets, bridges, or metal bushings. Surfaces that come into contact with water are smooth, with rounded edges, or with guide ribs to prevent accidental snags and prevent disruption of the fishing action.

[0016] When fishing for pike, the design must maintain a noticeable swing, navigate close to grass, and withstand sharp lateral attacks. When fishing for zander, a stable position near the bottom, a controlled fall, and moderate resistance are essential. For catfish, the lure's heavy weight, deep water, turbid water, and strong jerking force are all important considerations. Therefore, the dimensions, wall thickness, weight of the weights, the rigidity of the elastic elements, and the shape of the hydrodynamic surfaces can vary for different sizes, while maintaining the overall design of the device.

[0017] The achieved technical result is expressed as maintaining oscillations at a slow retrieve, reducing the transition to full rotation, and increasing stability in the current. This result arises not from the fishing technique, but from the operation of the design. If the bait moves smoothly, the parts provide a stable motion. If a pause or a toss occurs, the internal weights, chambers, keels, ribs, or protective elements switch to a different mode and change the behavior of the hull. If the current approaches from the side or the speed changes, the stabilizing surfaces create a restoring moment and reduce the likelihood of uncontrolled rotation or capsizing.

[0018] Several sizes and weights are available. For small lures, the travel of the moving parts and the area of ​​the stabilizers are reduced, while for larger lures, the strength sections are reinforced and more wear-resistant materials are used. Finishes can be polished, matte, phosphorescent, or painted to match the bait. Hooks are installed via split rings or hinged elements. The design allows for user maintenance: cleaning, replacement of replaceable parts, visual inspection of the locking mechanism, and drying after fishing.

[0028] Spoon bait with asymmetrical rib for controlled flow stall

[0029] Fig. 1 - general view of a spoon with an asymmetric longitudinal rib.

[0030] Designation Element name 1 front mounting hole 2 metal body of the spoon 3 asymmetric longitudinal rib 4 lower edge of the body 5 tail connecting ring 6 treble hook

[0031] Figure 1 shows a spoon bait with an asymmetrical rib for controlled stall. The body 2 is made of an elongated, spoon-shaped metal plate with a longitudinal bend. A mounting hole 1 is provided in the front of the body for attaching a split ring, swivel, leader, or clasp. A connecting ring 5 is located at the tail, through which a treble hook 6 is attached.

[0032] The main design element is the asymmetrical longitudinal rib 3. The rib is not positioned along the body's midline, but offset relative to the longitudinal axis. This can be achieved by stamping, bending, soldering, welding, or forming a thickened section during casting. Due to the offset position of the rib, the water flow on one side of the body is separated differently than on the opposite side.

[0033] When the spoon is pulled, water flows around the curved surface of body 2. Longitudinal rib 3 increases the plate's local rigidity and simultaneously creates a controlled flow separation zone. Lower edge 4 contributes to the oscillating motion, and the asymmetry of the rib causes the spoon to alternately swing from side to side. This creates a distinct play even at relatively low speeds.

[0034] Treble hook 6 is located in the tail area, where the amplitude of transverse oscillations is most noticeable. Tail connecting ring 5 allows the hook to rotate freely and reduces the transfer of its weight to the main body. This connection allows body 2 to maintain its own action and not block oscillations when the hook contacts the water or a fish.

[0035] The figure reveals the spoon as a passive hydrodynamic device, in which the desired action is determined by the geometry of the metal plate and the offset rib. Unlike a typical smooth spoon, the depicted design features a special flow control zone. This allows for stabilization of the spoon's movement over a wide range of speeds and reduces the number of modes in which the spoon moves without noticeable vibrations.

[0036] Industrial applicability

[0037] This product can be mass-produced using casting, stamping, bending, machining, welding, soldering, adhesive assembly, application of protective and decorative coatings, installation of hooks, split rings, and packaging of replacement parts. The design is suitable for several sizes, depending on the tackle weight, water depth, current strength, and target fish species.
