Abstract
The flying action fishing lure includes a body which is oval or torpedo shaped and has a pair of wings engaged thereon to simulate the shape of an insect. The lure has an elevated line engaging eye mounted to the body as well as a fixed in position single or multiple pronged hook depending therefrom. The body of the lure is partially hollow, trapping a bubble of air therein which is dimensioned to provide a zero flotation coefficient. Action is produced by application of steady pressure to a line engaging the lure causing a sideway slip as well as rotational motion and in and out of water flying action to the lure.
Claims4
A fishing lure which dives into and flies above the water within which it is placed, rotates, and jogs to one side, simulating a water bound insect, the lure comprising:
- a body having an elongate oval shape, the body having a hollow area of predetermined size therein within which a predefined volume of air is entrapped;
- an elevated line eye extending upwardly from the body, and set approximately one third the distance back from a forward end of the body;
- a pair of dished wings engaged to said body to extend upwardly along and away from an underside of said body opposite said line eye, the body being cupped within the dished area of each wing and the wings extending rearwardly past a rear end of said body;
- and a hook fixedly engaged to said body in a manner to extend rearwardly downwardly from a rear portion of said body, said hook underlying said wings;
- and
- the volume of the hollow area of the body being placed rearwardly within said body and being calculated from:
- V.sub.air =(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.p -1)V.sub.plastic +(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.s -1)V.sub.hook +(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.wing -1)V.sub.wing
- wherein
- V.sub.air =volume of air required for zero coefficient of flotation
- p.sub.p =density of plastic used
- p.sub.w =density of water
- V.sub.plastic =volume of plastic used
- p.sub.s =density of material of fishing hook
- V.sub.hook =volume of hook material
- p.sub.wing =density of wing material
- V.sub.wing =volume of wing material used
- producing a zero coefficient of flotation for the lure.
A method for using a fishing lure comprising a body having an elongate oval shape, the body having a hollow area of predetermined size therein within which a predefined volume of air is entrapped;
- an elevated line eye extending upwardly from the body, and set approximately one third the distance back from a forward end of the body;
- a pair of dished wings engaged to said body to extend upwardly along and away from an underside of said body opposite said line eye, the body being cupped within the dished area of each wing and the wings extending rearwardly past a read end of said body;
- and a hook fixedly engaged to said body in a manner to extend rearwardly downwardly from a rear portion of said body, said hook underlying said wings;
- and
- the volume of the hollow area of the body being placed rearwardly within said body and being calculated from:
- V.sub.air =(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.p -1)V.sub.plastic +(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.s -1)V.sub.hook +(.sub.p.sbsb.w.sup.p.sbsp.wing -1)V.sub.wing
- where
- V.sub.air =volume of air required for zero coefficient of flotation
- p.sub.p =density of plastic used
- p.sub.w =density of water
- V.sub.plastic =volume of plastic used
- p.sub.s =density of material of fishing hook
- V.sub.hook =volume of hook material
- p.sub.wing =density of wing material
- V.sub.wing =volume of wing material used
- producing a zero coefficient of flotation for the lure;
- said method incorporating the steps of:
- tying a line from a reel to the elevated line eye;
- casting the lure into a body of water;
- and
- applying a constant pull on the line.
