Multi-Hook Fishing Lure Wire Design for Secure Hooking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fishing lures for game fish often result in missed strikes and difficulty in setting and maintaining hooks due to their design, with single hooks being challenging to set and multiple metal components causing fish to spit the hook before it can be set by the angler.
Innovation Solution
A multi-hook fishing lure design featuring a lure head with a single point hook and a double point hook mounted on a lure wire with bends, allowing secure attachment of soft bait to both hooks and a fishing line, creating a compact and realistic presentation that reduces recognition as artificial and increases hooking success.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a single hook is used on the lure, then the lure frame can be smaller, but the hooking success rate decreases and missed strikes increase
Solution Approach 1:
The lure wire is segmented into multiple sections with bends that create distinct mounting locations for multiple hooks. The wire divides into segments that can each accommodate a hook, allowing the lure to have multiple hooking points while maintaining a compact overall structure that doesn't require a large frame.
2Reliability
If multiple hooks and metal components are used on the lure, then hooking success increases, but the fish can detect the artificial characteristics and spit the hook before the angler sets it
Solution Approach 1:
Different sections of the lure wire have different properties - some sections are bent to create hook mounting points while other sections remain smooth and flexible. The bends are strategically positioned to provide structural support for hooks only where needed, while the rest of the wire maintains a natural, flexible appearance that mimics organic material and reduces fish detection.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the lure wire is made compact to reduce artificial appearance, then fish detection decreases, but accommodating multiple hooks becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The lure wire utilizes three-dimensional space by incorporating bends at different angles and positions along its length. These bends create vertical and horizontal separations that allow multiple hooks to be mounted in different spatial dimensions rather than requiring linear extension, maintaining a compact profile while accommodating multiple hooks.

AI summary
A multi-hook fishing lure for use with soft bait comprising two or more hooks positioned on the same end of a lure body. The hooks comprise a single point and a double point hook. The single point hook is integrally formed with the lure body and lure wire. The double point hook is secured to the lure body by connection with an eyelet formed on a terminal end of the lure wire. The opposing end of the lure wire on the opposite end of the lure body is configured with an eyelet for attaching to a fishing line. Soft bait is secured to both the single and double point hooks for a secure, compact connection allowing the soft bait to flow and move providing the appearance of live bait.
