Abstract
An angled frame, bladed weighted novel fishing lure is disclosed in which the blade is designed to oscillate side-to-side during retrieval and is loosely, but securely affixed to an angled frame which enhances extraordinarily enhances hook and hook assembly motion. The frame includes an inferior portion that is connected to a lure stabilizing weighted body and hook receiver and includes forwardly disposed features for attachment of a blade and fishing line.
Claims20
A bladed fishing lure frame comprising an angular bend which creates an offset to enhance lateral side-to-side fishing lure motion, said frame comprising:
- (1) a superior segment and an inferior segment extending separately through a blade having two associated blade holes dimensioned for allowing the blade to fit loosely relative to the superior and inferior segments and each of said superior and inferior segments having a blade hole contact site to determine blade angle of attack;
- (2) a first blade retaining member aft of said blade holes and a second blade retaining member forward of said blade holes to maintain the blade loosely, but securely affixed to the frame for oscillation when drawn through water;,
- (3) a line connection loop forward of said blade for affixing a fishing line;
- (4) a substantially straight section aft of the fishing line connecting site and blade,
- (5) a site for a weight to be securely affixed rearward of the blade and forward of a fishhook or fishhook assembly receiver to provide ballast for an associated fishing lure;
- (6) said angular frame bend formed rearward of the blade and forward of the hook receiver for creating enhanced side-to-side motion of the frame and fishhook assembly when drawn through water resulting from blade oscillation;
- and
- (7) said fishhook receiver providing a connection site for the fishhook assembly.
A bladed fishing lure comprising a frame comprising a plurality of bends and associated frame members between said bends comprising:
- said frame, an associated blade which is loosely affixed to said frame and which oscillates when water is displaced thereabout, a weight affixed to said frame which is disposed to stabilize the lure in water and a fishhook assembly;
- said members comprising at least one member which is disposed relative said blade to provide medially directed support about which the blade oscillates at a predetermined angle of attack in a first mode when affected by water being displaced about the blade to produce a turbulent wake there from;
- said blade comprising at least one opening for being loosely but securely affixed to said frame forward of said weight such that the blade yaws and oscillates from side-to-side is a second oscillating mode as affected by water being displaced about the blade;
- said frame comprising at least one member disposed through said at least one opening and said at least one member and said at least one opening comprising cooperative structure such that blade second mode oscillation is forcibly communicated to the frame;
- a following member disposed aft of said blade which provides a communicating pathway to said weight, said following member comprising a tuning bend whereby a succeeding member aft of the following member provides a directional correction to lure parts affixed thereafter;
- the succeeding member comprising a connecting segment whereby said fishhook assembly is affixed to the frame to be dynamically affected by the motion of the blade;
- and
- said connecting segment comprising a predetermined length and angle by which second mode oscillatory motion is magnified thru said tuning bend and communicated to said fishhook assembly.
