Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fishing lures lack effectiveness in attracting fish through a combination of sound, movement, reflection, and appearance, as they often fail to mimic natural prey effectively and do not utilize multiple sensory attractants simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

A fishing lure with an elongated main body, angled panels, a spinner blade, reflective eye elements, and hooks, designed to resemble an insect, which creates noise, movement, and visual reflections to mimic natural prey, attracting fish through a multi-sensory approach.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fishing lures use simple designs, then manufacturing is easy and cost is low, but effectiveness in attracting fish through multiple sensory channels is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in attracting fishVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple sensory attractants (visual panels, acoustic spinner, reflective elements) into a single fishing lure device. The body assembly integrates panels that create visual movement and reflection, while the spinner assembly generates acoustic attraction, all mounted on one rod that can be attached to fishing line, creating a multi-functional attraction system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The lure is divided into distinct functional segments: a body assembly containing panels for visual attraction, a spinner assembly for acoustic attraction, and a rod connecting them. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall device effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the lure uses multiple sensory attractants (sound, movement, reflection), then fish attraction effectiveness improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefish attraction effectivenessVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rod serves multiple functions: it connects the body assembly to the spinner assembly, provides structural support for mounting both assemblies, and acts as the attachment point for the fishing line. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components while maintaining all necessary attractant functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges visual attraction elements (panels with reflective surfaces) and acoustic attraction elements (spinner blades) into a single integrated lure device, allowing both sensory channels to operate simultaneously from one unified structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The lure effectively attracts fish by combining noise from the spinner blade, movement, and visual reflections, while its insect-like appearance and hooks facilitate catching, enhancing the chances of successful fishing.

Implementation Method 1

makes noise in an attempt to attract fish to the device

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectNoise generation: Sound

Implementation Method 2

AI summary

A fishing lure device attracts fish using sound, movement, reflection and appearance. The device includes an elongated main body having a front end, a rear end and a perimeter surface coupled to and extending between the front end and the rear end. A longitudinal axis extends through the main body between the front end and the rear end. At least one hook is attached to the main body. Each hook is configured to catch a fish thereon. A pair of panels is coupled to the main body. Each of the panels is angled upwardly and outwardly away from a top side of the main body. The panels are orientated in opposite directions with respect to each other and orientated perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the main body.
