Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fishing lure accessories often fail to effectively mimic natural swimming patterns and can over-rotate, leading to decreased performance with certain bait styles and weights, resulting in inadequate wobbling motion.

Innovation Solution

A fishing line wobble device featuring a cup-shaped deflector with voids around the rim and an elongated line guide, which stabilizes hydrodynamic flow and prevents over-rotation, allowing the device to function with various bait styles and sizes by disrupting hydrodynamic flow and maintaining consistent wobbling motion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a typical spoon is used to create wobbling motion, then the lure can revolve around the axis and deflect water, but the spoon may over-rotate and fail to maintain consistent wobbling motion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewobbling motion consistencyVSAvoidover-rotation tendency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The deflector is divided into multiple segments or blades arranged radially around the central axis. This segmentation prevents the entire structure from over-rotating as a single unit, while each segment can independently deflect water to maintain consistent wobbling motion of the lure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The deflector segments are designed to be flexible or movable rather than rigidly fixed, allowing them to dynamically adjust their position in response to water flow. This dynamic behavior prevents over-rotation while maintaining effective water deflection and consistent wobbling motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing water deflection devices are used, then they can deflect water to create movement, but they fail to effectively mimic natural swimming patterns with certain bait styles and weights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with various bait stylesVSAvoidperformance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is designed with a universal attachment mechanism that can accommodate various bait styles, sizes, and weights. The deflector structure is configured to work effectively with different lure types while maintaining consistent wobbling motion and natural swimming pattern mimicry across all applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The deflector parameters such as blade angle, spacing, and flexibility are optimized to accommodate variations in bait weight and style. By adjusting these parameters, the device maintains reliable performance and natural movement patterns across a wide range of fishing applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If a cup-shaped deflector with voids is used, then hydrodynamic flow is stabilized and over-rotation is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehydrodynamic flow stabilityVSAvoiddeflector structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cup-shaped deflector incorporates voids or porous structures in its construction. These voids stabilize hydrodynamic flow by allowing controlled water passage while preventing over-rotation. The porous design achieves flow stability without requiring overly complex mechanical structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

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 solution ensures a consistent and life-like wobbling motion across different bait styles and sizes, enhancing fishing lure effectiveness without modifying existing tackle, and preventing snagging from weeds or obstructions.

Implementation Method 1

As the tackle is drawn through the water, the spoon deflects water and is able to revolve around the axis defined by the fishing line

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHydrodynamic flow: Drag

Implementation Method 2

The deflector comprises a plurality of voids disposed about the rim of the deflector... stabilizes hydrodynamic flow and prevents over-rotation

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHydrodynamic flow disruption: Turbulence
