Abstract
The present invention relates to a fishing enhancer to aid a fishing enthusiast in locating a line or fishing lure by enhancing the ability of a live sonar device to detect the size, shape, positioning, and location of a fishing lure (or line) after the lure has been cast into water. The present invention relates to a mixture having a formula including a carrier component, a scent component, a visual indicator and/or active particles. The mixture is placed on a lure, bait or fishing line to, not only attract fish, but enhance the image of the object to which the mixture is applied on a live sonar image.
Claims20
A mixture for application to live bait, lures or fishing line for attracting fish while presenting an enhanced image on a sonar display, comprising:
- a carrier wherein the carrier acts as a binder for additional ingredients to prevent separation of the additional ingredients prior to the time the lure is introduced into a body of water;
- a scent component dispersed in the carrier to form a mixture;
- a visual indicator dispersed in the carrier to form a mixture;
- and
- a plurality of active particles dispersed in the carrier to form a mixture wherein the active particles are configured as a plurality of hollow microspheres having air pockets capable of being detected by a live sonar device.
A mixture for application to live bait, lures or fishing line for attracting fish while presenting an enhanced image on a sonar display, comprising:
- a carrier wherein the carrier acts as a binder for additional ingredients to prevent separation of the additional ingredients prior to the time the lure is introduced into a body of water wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, menhaden oil, anise oil, cod liver oil, salmon oil and herring oil;
- a visual indicator dispersed in the carrier to form a mixture the visual indicator comprising a light reflective material;
- and
- a plurality of active particles dispersed in the carrier to form a mixture wherein the plurality of active particles are configured as hollow microspheres having a diameter in the range of 90 to 500 microns wherein the microspheres form air pockets capable of being detected by a live sonar device.
