Spinner bait with hydro-drive rattle
View Patent ↗A spinner bait lure includes a wire harness having a line eye. A fishing hook is coupled to the wire harness. A spinner blade is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. A bead is rotatably coupled to the wire harness. Retrieval of the spinner bait lure through a water body causes the spinner blade and the bead to rotate. The spinner blade and the bead rotate about a common axis of rotation and a path of rotation of the bead intersects with the spinner blade. Therefore, the bead knocks into the spinner blade, causing deflection and noise.
1. A spinner bait lure comprising:
a wire harness comprising a line eye;
a fishing hook coupled to the wire harness;
a spinner blade rotatably coupled to the wire harness in such a way that the wire harness defines a first axis of rotation for the spinner blade; and
a bead rotatably coupled to the wire harness in such a way that a second axis of rotation is defined for the bead, wherein the second axis of rotation rotates around the first axis of rotation, wherein retrieval of the spinner bait lure through a water body causes the spinner blade and the bead to rotate, and
a path of rotation of the bead intersects with the spinner blade.
2. The spinner bait lure of claim 1 , wherein the bead is rotatably coupled to the wire harness by a bent wire comprising a first portion and a second portion interconnected by a bend, wherein the second portion defines the second axis of rotation.
3. The spinner bait lure of claim 2 , further comprising a clevis fastener rotatably coupling the bent wire to the wire harness.
4. The spinner bait lure of claim 1 , wherein the spinner blade is rotatably coupled to a first end of the wire harness by a swivel.
5. The spinner bait lure of claim 3 , wherein a second spinner blade is rotatably coupled to the wire harness by the clevis fastener.
6. The spinner bait lure of claim 1 , wherein the wire harness is an L-shaped wire harness, wherein the spinner blade and the bead are rotatably coupled to a first end of the L-shaped wire harness and the fishing hook is coupled to a second end of the L-shaped wire harness.
7. The spinner bait lure of claim 4 , further comprising a lure body coupling the hook to the second end of the L-shaped wire harness.
8. The spinner bait lure of claim 7 , further comprising a lure skirt coupled to the lure body and covering at least a portion of the hook.
9. The spinner bait lure of claim 6 , wherein the line eye is an R-bend in the L-shaped wire harness.
10. The spinner bait lure of claim 6 , wherein the line eye is an endless loop bend in the L-shaped wire harness.
