Abstract
A variety of novel frames for bladed fishing lures are disclosed. Generally, the frames provide for facile assembly and secure containment of associated blades while providing pivotal supporting structure for the blades. Weights for the lures are inferiorly and separately disposed relative to the blades to provide ballast and stability without markedly affecting blade and associated lure action. Careful attention is paid to frame construction to assure wire patterns are compatible with automatic wire winding machines and communicated forces are consistent with maintaining frame structure.
Claims16
A bladed fishing lure frame comprising:
- a fishing line attachment facet;
- structure for threaded assembly and loosely but securely affixing and constraining a blade whereby the blade, comprising at least one opening where through said structure is displaced and assembled to the frame and a geometric configuration by which the blade is displaced side-to-side when displaced through water, communicates oscillatory movement to an associated fishing lure assembly;
- further structure for affixing a fishing lure assembly comprising a fishhook such that blade displacement affects lure motion and force of distal pull of snag or fish is directly aligned along said structure to said facet;
- said frame comprising additional structure whereby a weight being disparate from the blade and having a center of gravity inferiorly disposed relative to the blade is affixed to the frame to provide fishing lure stability while being displaced through water.
A frame for a bladed fishing lure comprising a plurality of bends and associated segments comprising:
- a. a site whereat a fishing line is affixed to said frame;
- b. a blade attachment where by the blade is loosely yet securely affixed to said frame and supported at a predetermined angle of attack when displaced through water by the fishing line to communicate yaw and angular motion to said frame while producing a wake in the water aft of the blade;
- c. a weight attachment site whereat a weight is securely affixed disparate from the blade such that the weight provides orientation determining ballast for said frame without contacting with blade to interfere with the motion thereof.
