Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fishing lures face issues with scent application causing mess, altering appearance, rapid scent dissolving, and requiring frequent reapplication, with impregnated materials having limited scent intensity over time.

Innovation Solution

A fishing lure with a bait fish shape featuring a channel or chamber for housing scented agents, selectively discharging them through openings or holes as it moves through water, eliminating direct contact with scents and reducing reapplication needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If scent is manually applied to the exterior surface of the lure, then the lure becomes more appealing to fish, but it creates mess and requires frequent reapplication

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescent appeal durationVSAvoidapplication convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lure is divided into functional segments: a scent delivery channel separated from the main body, allowing independent optimization of scent containment and release mechanisms without affecting the lure's structural integrity or requiring manual reapplication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lure structure itself serves as the scent delivery system, with the channel and openings enabling automatic scent release as the lure moves through water, eliminating the need for fisherman intervention or reapplication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If scent is applied to the lure surface, then fish attraction is improved, but the scent distorts the appearance of the lure

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefish attraction effectivenessVSAvoidlure appearance

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The scent delivery function is extracted from the lure's exterior surface and relocated to an internal channel structure, allowing the external surface to maintain its original appearance while the internal channel handles scent containment and release

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If scent is applied to the lure, then fish attraction is enhanced, but the scent dissolves quickly into the water

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescent attraction intensityVSAvoidscent persistence

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The channel is pre-configured with openings positioned to release scent at specific locations and times as the lure moves through water, ensuring controlled and sustained scent delivery rather than immediate dissolution

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The channel structure enables continuous scent release throughout the lure's operation, with openings distributed along the channel length to provide ongoing scent attraction without the need for frequent reapplication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

4Reliability

If fibrous material is used for the lure body, then scent can be impregnated, but the scent releases too rapidly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescent impregnation capabilityVSAvoidscent release rate

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Different parts of the lure have different properties: the internal channel provides controlled scent release through its structured openings, while the external fibrous body maintains structural integrity, creating localized functional differentiation that prevents rapid overall scent release

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

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 lure effectively attracts fish with a sustained scent trail, enhancing strike chances and hook setting time, suitable for various fishing conditions and reducing scent-related mess and frequency.

Implementation Method 1

First and second openings formed on the top surface of the lure in fluid communication with an elongated channel extending therefrom along the length of the body of the lure

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectFluid communication:

Implementation Method 2

The scent trail left by the lure convinces predatory fish that the lure is alive and represents an easy meal

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectScent dispersion: Diffusion

AI summary

A fishing lure formed of a body having a substantially bait fish shape provided with head and tail portions. A plurality of apertures equidistantly spaced along a longitudinal axis of the body. First and second openings formed on the top surface of the lure in fluid communication with an elongated channel extending therefrom along the length of the body of the lure. The channel has a plurality of openings extending from the channel to one or both side walls of the lure. The channel having horizontal portions which intersects the top surface of the lure at the first and second openings and extend downward to the channel. The channel being is suitably sized and shaped for housing a predetermined quantity of scented agents so that the scented agents can be contained within said channel and selectively discharged when said fishing lure travels through the water.
