Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional fishing lures often cause high pressure on the hook, leading to large openings in the fish's mouth and a higher likelihood of the hook falling out after a bite.

Innovation Solution

A slide bait lure design featuring a head portion with a slot and an attachment member, allowing the hook to be securely positioned initially but then releasing pressure by sliding through a bait body, reducing the likelihood of the hook being dislodged from the fish's mouth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the hook is securely fixed to the head portion, then the hook positioning stability is improved, but the pressure on the hook increases causing large openings in the fish's mouth and hook loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehook positioning stabilityVSAvoidpressure on hook causing mouth openings
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The slot in the head portion allows the hook to transition from a fixed position during casting to a sliding position during retrieval. This dynamic mechanism enables the hook to move freely along the slot after the fish bites, relieving pressure and preventing mouth openings, while maintaining secure positioning during the casting phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the hook is inserted through the bait body, then the bait presentation is improved, but the hook becomes vulnerable to falling out under pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebait presentationVSAvoidhook retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The slot acts as an intermediary mechanism between the hook and the head portion. It allows the hook to pass through the bait body for proper presentation while providing a guided path that prevents the hook from being pushed out under pressure. The slot constrains the hook's movement to a specific trajectory, maintaining both presentation quality and retention reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
