Oscillating Fishing Lure Blade Wire Frame Motion Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bladed jig fishing lures fail to effectively transmit side-to-side motion to the lure body and provide a direct, pivoting connection between the fishing line and hook, leading to reduced hooking efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A fishing lure design featuring a blade member pivotably coupled to a wire frame through two apertures, allowing the blade to oscillate freely while preventing it from sliding off, and a direct connection between the fishing line and wire frame, enhancing the transmission of motion and hooking probability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the blade is pivotably mounted to a small wire eyelet, then the blade can oscillate, but the motion is not effectively transmitted to the lure body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the blade oscillation function with the lure body by directly coupling the blade to the wire frame that supports the body, eliminating the intermediate small wire eyelet. This integration allows the blade's side-to-side motion to be directly transmitted to the lure body, creating a lifelike swimming action while simplifying the overall connection structure.
2Reliability
If the fishing line is coupled directly to the pivoting blade member, then the connection is direct, but the connection is hinged rather than rigid
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wire frame as an intermediary structure between the blade and the fishing line. The wire frame provides a rigid foundation that supports both the blade pivot point and the fishing line attachment point, creating a stable triangular structure that maintains rigidity while allowing the blade to pivot freely for its oscillating action.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the blade is constrained to prevent sliding off, then the blade stays attached, but the blade's oscillation freedom is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the constraint function by using separate structural elements: the wire frame provides the constraint mechanism through its geometry (preventing rearward sliding), while the pivot point allows free oscillation. This segmentation of constraints versus freedom allows the blade to remain securely attached while maintaining full oscillation capability.

AI summary
A fishing lure is comprised of a blade member that is pivotably and slidably coupled to a two-leg wire form member. The first leg of the wire form member passes through a first aperture in the blade member, while the second leg of the wire form member passes through a second aperture in the blade member. The blade member is supported by the wire form member at solely the first and second aperture locations. If desired, the blade member can be removed and replaced without needing to bend the blade member. The lure remains in a generally upright position and the blade member exhibits a rapid oscillating movement as the lure is pulled forward in water.
