Abstract
The present invention pertains to an absorbent coating and method for coating a fishing tackle item which absorbent coating will absorb a liquid fish attractant or attractants on contact by utilizing polymer and/or copolymer particles that are applied over a finish coating on the fishing tackle item while the finish coating is in a liquid state.
Claims43
A fishing tackle item having thereon an absorbent coating prepared by the method comprising:
- a) applying a liquid finish coating to said fishing tackle item wherein said liquid finish coating is selected from the group consisting of enamels, epoxies, lacquers, urethanes, acrylics, polyesters, varnish, shellacs, and hydrocarbon and water based paints,
- b) applying a polymer or copolymer to said liquid finish coating wherein said polymer or copolymer is selected from the group consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, poly (acrylic acid) salts, poly (ether)-based non-ionic xerogellants, carboxymethyl cellulose fibers, polyacrylate, polyacrylonitrile hydrollyzed polyacrylonitrile, poly (vinyl alcohol-sodium) acrylate and poly (isobutylene-co-disodium) maleate, said polymer or copolymer absorbing said liquid finish coating and a predetermined liquid fish attractant wherein said polymer or copolymer comprises particles that are applied to said liquid finish coating while said finish coating is in the liquid state and wherein said polymers and copolymers are all cross-linked above their respective gel point so that they do not dissolve in water;
- and
- c) curing or drying said liquid finish coating in the absorbent polymer or copolymer particles preventing that part of the absorbent polymer or copolymer particles from absorbing any other liquid and bonding the absorbent polymer or copolymer particles to said fishing tackle item.

A method of making an absorbent coating for an item of fishing tackle made by the following steps:
- a) providing an item of fishing tackle,
- b) applying a liquid finish coating to said item of fishing tackle wherein said liquid finish coating is selected from the group consisting of enamels, epoxies, lacquers, urethanes, acrylics, polyesters, varnish, shellacs, and hydrocarbon and water based paints,
- c) applying a polymer or copolymer to said liquid finish coating wherein said polymer or copolymer is selected from the group consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, poly (acrylic acid) salts, poly (ether)-based non-ionic xerogellants, carboxymethyl cellulose fibers, polyacrylate, polyacrylonitrile, hydrollyzed polyacrylonitrile, poly (vinyl alcohol-sodium) acrylate and poly (isobutylene-co-disodium) maleate, said compound absorbing said liquid finish coating and a predetermined liquid fish attractant wherein said polymer or copolymer comprises particles that are applied to said liquid finish coating while said finish coating is in a liquid state and wherein said polymers and copolymers are all cross-linked above their respective gel point so that they do not dissolve in water;
- and
- d) curing or drying said liquid finish coating in the absorbent polymer or copolymer particles preventing that part of the absorbent polymer or copolymer from absorbing any other liquid and bonding the absorbent polymer or copolymer particles to said item of fishing tackle.
