Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fishing lure that can be steered by a fisherman after the lure has been cast into a body of water.
  • a prior art lure can be retrieved in a straight line in the direction of retrieval (shown by the arrow in FIG. 1A) or a straight line at an angle to the direction of retrieval (shown by the arrow in FIG. IB) if the lure is pre-adjusted prior to casting so that the lure will travel at an angle.
  • the direction of the lure may be changed while the lure is in the water, the direction cannot be totally controlled by the angler.
  • the present invention is a method of redirecting a track of a fishing lure on a fishing line.
  • the fishing lure has a body, a fishing lure longitudinal axis extending along a length of the body, a line tie extending outwardly from the body, and a re-positioning mechanism connected to the line tie.
  • the re-positioning mechanism is activated by the fishing line.
  • the method includes the steps of using a fishing pole, casting the fishing lure into a body of water; while the fishing lure is in the water, reeling in the fishing lure; and moving the line tie between a first position and a second position such that only the movement of the line tie between the first position and the second position changes a direction of travel of the fishing lure while the lure is being reeled in.
  • the present invention is a method of redirecting a track of a fishing lure on a fishing line.
  • the fishing lure has a body having a central longitudinal axis, a re-positioning mechanism, and a line tie having a first end connected to the re-positioning mechanism and extending outwardly of the body, and a second end connected to the fishing line.

  • Lure assembly 100 includes an internal mechanism that allows an angler to redirect the direction in which a lure "swims" as the angler reels in the lure after a cast.

  • Gear 130 includes a pivot mount 134 that is located off-axis from central gear axis 132 such that pivot mount 134 on gear 130 acts as a cam mechanism, wherein rotation of gear 130 rotates pivot mount 134 in an arc around central gear axis 132.

  • Gear 130 moves along rack 150 as a result of an angler (not shown) applying tension to line tie 140 by reeling in lure 50, and then releasing the tension on line tie 140.
  • the application of tension to line tie 140 naturally causes carrier 120 to be pulled forward within body 102 from the position shown in FIG. 4A to the position shown in FIG. 4D, compressing biasing member 122.

  • a line tie 240 is connected to a pivot mount 234 on a wheel 230.
  • Wheel 230 is operatively connected to a driver that rotates wheel a number of rotational degrees when an aft face 221 of a carrier 220 engages aft end 210 of body 202.
  • the driver can be a motor 250 that is activated when a motor switch 252 on aft face 221 of carrier 230 engages aft end 210 of body 202. Activation of motor switch 252 activates motor 250 to rotate, thereby rotating wheel 230 as well.
  • Motor 250 can be configured to always rotate a predetermined number of degrees per activation of switch 252. Alternatively, motor 250 can be configured to rotate as long as switch 252 is engaged with aft end 210 of body 202. Additionally, motor 250 can be configured to reverse direction after each operating cycle.
  • Rotation of wheel 230 activates and moves line tie 240 in a manner similar to the movement of line tie 140 above with respect to lure assembly 100 except that line tie 240 only exhibits angular movement with respect to a central longitudinal axis 206 of lure body 202 when motor 250 is rotating wheel 230.

  • FIG. 7 shows how lure assemblies 100, 200, 300 can be used to generate multiple and varied direction changes as lure 50 is being reeled in, resulting in a life-like behavior of lure 50 that the inventor believes will attract fish to lure 50.
  • lure assemblies While exemplary embodiments of lure assemblies are discussed above and shown in the Figures, those skilled in the art will recognize that other structures can be provided that result in the inventive method of using only the movement of a line tie relative to a longitudinal axis of the lure assembly or the lure 50 itself, to redirect the track of the lure 50 to the left or right of a direction in which the lure 50 is being reeled in. Additionally, the movement of the line tie can result in movement of a rear portion that enhances the directional change of lure 50 and is within the scope of this invention .

Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent un procédé de réorientation de la trajectoire d'un leurre de pêche sur une ligne de pêche. Le leurre de pêche comporte un corps, un axe longitudinal de leurre de pêche s'étendant le long d'une longueur du corps, une attache de ligne s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir du corps, et un mécanisme de repositionnement monté entièrement à l'intérieur du corps et relié à l'attache de ligne. Le mécanisme de repositionnement est activé par la ligne de pêche. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à utiliser une canne à pêche, lancer le leurre de pêche dans une masse d'eau ; pendant que le leurre de pêche est dans l'eau, mouliner pour remonter le leurre de pêche ; et déplacer l'attache de ligne entre une première position et une deuxième position de sorte que seul le mouvement de l'attache de ligne entre la première position et la deuxième position change une direction de déplacement du leurre de pêche pendant que le leurre est remonté.
