Abstract
The fishing lure includes a head with a bell-shaped tip that collects water as the lure moves. The water is directed through channels, creating cavitation bubbles at the channel outlets. The body houses the electronics and weights. The body includes holes in the form of mock gills that allow water to enter. The water activates the electronics, causing the light to begin pulsing. The electronics include batteries and a light source—preferably an LED—with associated circuit board, within a waterproof shell or cover. In the preferred embodiment, a switch protrudes from the waterproof shell, the switch activated by water. The body also includes internal weights, the internal weights moving within channels within the body. The internal weights knock against each other within the channels, creating a clacking sound.
Claims13
A fishing lure comprising:
- an internal pulsing light;
- the internal pulsing light activated when water enters a body of the fishing lure;
- linear internal channels within the body;
- internal oscillating weights within the linear internal channels;
- the internal oscillating weights able to move within the linear internal channels, the internal oscillating weights knocking against each other during motion of the fishing lure to create a clacking sound;
- a head, the head removably affixed to the body;
- removal of the head allowing a user to remove the internal oscillating weights from the linear internal channels;
- the head is formed from a bell-shaped tip and a cone-shaped shell;
- the bell-shaped tip having a wide end and a narrow end;
- the narrow end adjoining the cone-shaped shell;
- one or more water channels, each with an inlet and an outlet, pass through the bell-shaped tip and the cone-shaped shell;
- the internal oscillating weights separated from the one or more water channels;
- whereby water passes through the one or more water channels, creating a swirling effect and cavitation bubbles;
- and
- whereby removal of the head allows access to the linear internal channels and therefore access to the internal oscillating weights.
A fishing lure to attract fish, the fishing lure comprising:
- a body;
- an internal flashing light;
- the internal flashing light activated when water passes into the body of the fishing lure;
- two or more weights;
- the two or more weights able to move within the body of the fishing lure;
- the two or more weights clacking against each other to create a sound;
- one or more linear internal channels within the body;
- the two or more weights within the one or more linear internal channels;
- the two or more weights able to move within the one or more linear internal channels and knock against each other during motion of the fishing lure to create a clacking sound;
- a head, the head removably affixed to the body;
- removal of the head allowing a user to remove internal oscillating weights from the one or more linear internal channels;
- the head formed from a bell-shaped tip and a cone-shaped shell;
- the head includes one or more water channels, each with an inlet and an outlet, pass through the bell-shaped tip and the cone-shaped shell;
- the one or more water channels separate from the one or more linear internal channels, thereby avoiding contact between water passing through the one or more water channels and the two or more weights;
- whereby water passes through the one or more water channels, creating a swirling effect and cavitation bubbles;
- and
- whereby removal of the head allows access to the one or more linear internal channels and therefore access to the internal oscillating weights;
- and
- whereby the internal flashing light and clacking of the two or more weights act together to attract fish.
A fishing lure that uses light and sound to attract fish, the fishing lure comprising:
- a flashing light;
- internal oscillating weights;
- the internal oscillating weights moving within a body of the fishing lure to create a sound;
- the internal oscillating weights are within linear internal channels, the linear internal channels within the body;
- the internal oscillating weights able to move within the linear internal channels, the internal oscillating weights knocking against each other during motion of the fishing lure to create a clacking sound;
- an interchangeable head;
- the interchangeable head able to be removed, allowing a user to remove internal oscillating weights from the linear internal channels, and allowing a user to substitute a heavier or lighter head, thus affecting buoyancy of the fishing lure;
- the interchangeable head is formed from a bell-shaped tip and a cone-shaped shell;
- one or more water channels, each with an inlet and an outlet, pass through the bell-shaped tip and the cone-shaped shell;
- the one or more water channels separated from the linear internal channels with the internal oscillating weights;
- whereby water passes through the one or more water channels, creating a swirling effect and cavitation bubbles.
