Fishing Lure Internal Bait Compartment with Removable Cover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing lures often lose attached live or fake bait during use, requiring frequent replacements.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure design featuring a hollow body with an internal compartment and a removable cover that securely retains bait, allowing for easy loading and emission of scent, combined with noise-generating accessories and hydrodynamic shapes to attract fish.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If bait is directly attached to the hook of the fishing lure, then the bait can be easily accessed by fish, but the bait is easily lost or taken by the fish during use
Solution Approach 1:
The fishing lure is divided into separate functional components: a hollow body containing an internal compartment for bait storage, and a hook assembly. This segmentation allows the bait to be securely contained within the compartment while the hook remains separate, preventing bait loss during fishing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The internal compartment is nested within the hollow body of the fishing lure. The compartment provides an inner containment structure that holds the bait securely, while the outer hollow body provides additional protection and structural support. This nested arrangement ensures bait retention while maintaining ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If a removable cover is added to the hollow body to facilitate bait loading, then bait can be easily loaded, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hollow body is segmented into a main body portion and a removable cover portion. This segmentation allows the cover to be easily removed for bait loading and then reattached to seal the compartment. The simple two-part division minimizes structural complexity while maximizing ease of operation for bait loading.
3Productivity
If openings are provided in the hollow body for scent emission, then fish attraction is enhanced, but bait retention may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The hollow body is divided into functional zones: the internal compartment for secure bait containment, and the outer body with openings for scent emission. This segmentation allows the bait to remain securely enclosed while permitting aromatic compounds to diffuse through the openings, enhancing fish attraction without compromising bait security.
Solution Approach 2:
The hollow body acts as an intermediary structure between the bait and the surrounding water. It provides a controlled interface through which scent can be emitted to attract fish, while simultaneously serving as a protective barrier that prevents direct access to the bait by fish, thus maintaining bait security.

AI summary
An improved fishing lure comprising a body which defines an internal compartment therein and the body having a leading end and a trailing end. A hook is attached to the lure and an eye hook is attached to the leading end to facilitate the attachment of the fishing lure to a fishing line. A cover covers an access opening which provides access to the internal compartment. The cover generally has an open position, in which the cover permits access to the internal compartment to allow bait to be inserted therein, and a closed position, in which the cover captively retains the bait within the internal compartment. At least one opening is provided at the body to allow a scent of the bait to emanate out from the internal compartment. The fishing lure may be a “broken-back” type lure which simulates a desired “swimming” motion as the fishing lure travels through water to further improve the attractiveness of the fishing lure to any adjacent fish.
