Fish Attraction Device with Oscillating Blade and Leader Wire
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing lures often lack desirable characteristics such as shape, color, or sound, leading to low effectiveness in attracting fish, and there is a need for a device that can enhance both unsuccessful and successful baits to improve fishing chances.
Innovation Solution
A fish attraction device comprising a jig body with a blade, snap, crimping sleeves, a quick change snap swivel, and a crinkle resistant leader wire, which creates oscillation and vibration to mimic natural movement, enhancing the attractiveness of existing fishing lures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing fishing lures are used without enhancement, then the device complexity remains low, but the effectiveness in attracting fish is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple enhancement features (blade attachment, crimping sleeves, quick change snap swivel, leader wire) into a single integrated device that attaches to existing lures. This merging approach allows the system to achieve high reliability in attracting fish while keeping the overall device complexity manageable by modularly combining proven components rather than creating an entirely new complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
The fish attraction device is designed to be universally compatible with various existing fishing lures through standardized attachment mechanisms. The jig body can accommodate different blade types, and the quick change snap swivel allows for easy replacement of leader wires and baits. This multi-functionality enables a single device to enhance multiple different lure types, improving fish attraction effectiveness without requiring separate complex devices for each lure type.
2Reliability
If a lure lacks desirable characteristics such as shape, color, or sound, then the manufacturing cost remains low, but the lure fails to attract fish effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates pre-configured enhancement features including a pre-shaped jig body, pre-attached blade with snap connection, pre-installed crimping sleeves, and pre-tied leader wire. These preliminary actions are performed during manufacturing, allowing the device to immediately enhance any attached lure's attraction capabilities without requiring complex custom manufacturing for each lure. The pre-prepared components can be quickly assembled onto various lure types, maintaining ease of manufacture while ensuring effective fish attraction.
3Reliability
If the leader wire is too short, then the device structure remains compact, but the trailing chase bait cannot be fully exposed
Solution Approach 1:
The leader wire is designed with an optimal length that allows dynamic exposure of the trailing chase bait during fishing operations. The wire length is sufficient to permit the bait to trail behind and be fully exposed to fish, yet not so long as to create excessive drag or entanglement. This dynamic balance ensures the bait remains visible and accessible to fish while maintaining a compact overall device structure when not in use.
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 device increases the chances of catching fish by giving life to the bait, keeping it swimming naturally and attracting predator fish with its oscillation and vibration, improving the effectiveness of various fishing lures in a fisherman's tackle box.

AI summary
A fish attraction device that includes a jig body, a blade with a snap, a pair of crimping sleeves, a quick change snap swivel and a crinkle resistant leader wire. The jig body includes an attachment in its front portion for attaching the blade, and the rear portion of the jig body includes a first crimp sleeve that is attached to a first end of the leader wire. The leader wire extends from the rear portion of the jig body a sufficient length for attaching to a chase bait that can be appropriately attached on an opposite end of the leader wire using a second crimp sleeve and quick change snap swivel.
