Interchangeable Disk Fishing Lure Housing for Quick Appearance Swaps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Fishing lures require frequent changing, which involves inconvenient and troublesome procedures of untieing and retying, disrupting the fishing experience.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure with interchangeable disks allows for changing the lure's appearance without physically untieing and retying by using a plurality of disks that can be mounted within a mimic housing, each providing a different appearance to attract game fish.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional lures are used and require untying and retying to change appearance, then the lure can be changed to different appearances, but the procedure becomes inconvenient and troublesome, interfering with the fishing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The lure is divided into two main segments: a reusable housing and interchangeable disks. The housing contains a retrieval mechanism with a spool and line, while the disks are separate visual elements that can be independently swapped. This segmentation allows the appearance-changing function to be separated from the retrieval function, enabling quick disk changes without affecting the operational mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing serves multiple functions: it houses the retrieval mechanism, contains the interchangeable disks, and provides the structural framework for the entire device. By making the housing universal and multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for separate retrieval devices when changing lure appearances, allowing fishermen to swap disks without retying or reassembling the entire lure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If lures are changed frequently to match game fish preferences, then the most attractive lure can be selected, but time is lost due to the untying and retying process
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple disks with different appearances are pre-loaded into the housing before fishing begins. The retrieval mechanism is pre-assembled with a spool and line, and the disks are positioned for easy access. This preliminary preparation allows fishermen to quickly swap between pre-configured appearance options without spending time on assembly or configuration during the fishing activity.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates a dynamic retrieval mechanism that allows the lure to be quickly reeled in and adjusted. The spool can rotate to retrieve the lure, and the entire assembly can be dynamically adjusted to swap disks while maintaining the operational readiness of the retrieval system. This dynamic design enables rapid transitions between different lure appearances.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a simple lure structure is used, then the device is easier to manufacture and use, but it cannot provide interchangeable appearance options
Solution Approach 1:
The disks are nested within the housing, with multiple disks stored in a compact arrangement inside the reusable housing. The retrieval mechanism is nested within the same housing structure, with the spool and line integrated into the framework. This nesting approach allows the interchangeable appearance elements to be contained within a single housing unit, adding functionality without proportionally increasing the overall device size or manufacturing complexity.

AI summary
The fishing lure with changeable disks is adapted for use in fishing. Specifically, the fishing lure with changeable disks is designed to allow a fisherman to change the appearance of a lure without having to the physically untie and retie lures as part of the change process. This is done through the use of an interchangeable disk selected from a plurality of disks. Each interchangeable disk selected from the plurality of disks can be mounted within a lure housing. Each interchangeable disk selected from the plurality of disks is designed to give the lure housing a different appearance to a fish. The interchangeable disks selected from the plurality of disks can be substituted for any interchangeable disk remaining within the plurality of disks. The fishing lure with changeable disks comprises a mimic, a plurality of disks, and one or more hooks.
