Spinning fishing lure with bead elements with auditory attractant characteristics
View Patent ↗Methods and apparatus for the creation of novel fishing lures is provided. In some examples. In some examples, the lure comprises a body wire including attachment features which may be reversibly attached to the lure. In some examples, the device may have the ability to comprise moving parts on its body which can be attractive to fish. In some examples the fishing lure comprises multiple moving parts that can create visual and sound based attractive aspects.
1. A fishing tackle lure assembly comprising:
a body wire bent to form a spring action latching attachment point securing a first attachment element attached at the attachment point in the body wire;
a looping kink in the body wire comprising a closed loop of 360 degrees or more of wire and suitable for tying a fishing line to;
a first portion of the body wire comprising the spring action latching point separated from a second portion of the body wire at a separation angle via the looping kink, the separation angle sufficient to prevent a spinner attached to a second loop from tangling with the first attachment element;
a bottom loop in the body wire reversibly receiving a second attachment element;
a bead hardware comprising a plurality of beads and a plurality of spacers, each having a bore;
wherein said body wire is received within said bores to movably position said beads and said spacers upon the body wire to intermittently contact each other; and
a clevis mounted upon the body wire between the first bead and the looping kink and rotatable about a central axis of the body wire and reversibly securing a swivel attached to a third attachment element in a manner that allows the third element and the swivel to rotate about the axis of the wire as the clevis rotates and also allows the third element to spin about an axis of the swivel.
2. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 1 wherein the first attachment element is a fishing hook.
3. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 1 wherein the first attachment element is a fixed weight.
4. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 2 wherein the second attachment element is a spinner.
5. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 2 wherein the third attachment element is a spinner.
6. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 5 wherein the separation angle is larger than or equal to an angle which holds the third attachment element away from contact with the first portion of the body wire.
7. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 6 wherein the first bead and the second bead vibrate back and forth upon each other while the fishing tackle lure assembly moves through a body of water.
8. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 7 wherein one or more of the second attachment element and the third attachment element is a willow blade spinner.
9. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 7 wherein one or more of the second attachment element and the third attachment element is a Colorado spinner.
10. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 7 wherein one or more of the first bead hardware and the second bead hardware comprise reflective regions, colored regions and surface texture comparable to a fishing bait.
11. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 1 wherein the second attachment element is a fixed weight.
12. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 1 wherein the second attachment element is a willow spinner blade with a 30-degree lift.
13. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 1 wherein the third attachment element is a Colorado spinner with a 60-degree lift.
14. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 2 wherein one or both of the second attachment element and the third attachment element is a willow blade spinner.
15. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 2 wherein one or more of the second attachment element and the third attachment element comprises a Colorado spinner.
16. The fishing tackle lure assembly of claim 14 wherein one or more of the first bead hardware and the second bead hardware comprise reflective regions, colored regions and surface texture comparable to a fishing bait.
17. A method of forming a fishing tackle lure, the method comprising:
bending a terminal portion of a body wire into a loop comprising a bottom loop;
attaching a first swivel to the bottom loop;
attaching a first spinner to the first swivel in a manner allowing the first spinner to rotate about an axis of the body wire;
threading the body wire through a bore hole in a first bead and a second bead;
threading the body wire through a clevis rotatable about the axis of the body wire;
attaching a second swivel to the clevis in a manner allowing the second swivel to rotate about the axis of the body wire with the clevis;
attaching a second spinner to the second swivel in a manner allowing the second spinner to rotate about an axis of the second swivel and also rotate about the axis of the body wire with the clevis and the swivel;
bending the body wire into a looped kink, comprising more than 360 degrees of bend in the body wire, the kinking loop separating the body wire into a first portion of the body wire and a second portion of the body wire;
bending a region of a terminus of the body wire to form an attachment point; and
attaching a hook to the attachment point.
18. The method of claim 17 wherein the hook comprises a weighted hook.
19. The method of claim 18 wherein the second spinner comprises Colorado spinner with a 60-degree lift.
20. The method of claim 18 wherein the second spinner comprises a willow spinner blade with a 30-degree lift.
