Abstract
A fishing lure which generates an electromagnetic field about the body of the fishing lure to closely resemble the electromagnetic field naturally emitted by a fish. The fishing lure further includes a battery to generate the electromagnetic field in light or dark waters, a hook acting as the anode or cathode, a structure for isolating at least one of the anode or cathode leads to prevent shorts, and a ROM for varying the strength and/or frequency of the electromagnetic field in response to environmental factors such as the temperature of the water.
Claims22
An electromagnetic field generating fishing lure comprising:
- a) a lure body having means for attachment to a fishing line and at least one hook for catching a fish;
- b) anode and cathode terminals on the lure body to be exposed to water to generate an electromagnetic field adjacent to the lure body when in water;
- and
- c) a battery sealed in the lure body for supplying electricity continuously at a voltage above 0.1 volts to the anode and cathode terminals to generate the electromagnetic field for attracting fish in light or dark waters.
