ES2291088A1 - Hollow decoy for fishing, has rear, flat, curved or helical fin, which is installed on vertical or horizontal axis that provokes tail movement of fish, causing decoy advances on water oscillating with side movements - Google Patents

Abstract

The hollow decoy has a rear, flat, curved or helical/spiral fin, which is installed on a vertical or horizontal axis that provokes the tail movement of the fish, causing the decoy advances on the water oscillating with side movements, and at the same time generates turbulences in the water to attract attention of the predators. The decoy is made in any material that allows to float or to sink according to the installed ballast, with external appearance imitating to a fish.

Description

Hollow fishing lure.

Technical sector

The present invention fits within the fishing accessories sector, more specifically in the relative to recoverable lures.

Background of the invention

Numerous decoys are known in the market that imitate fish in the form, and pretend to imitate them in the movement by means of spoons placed in the front of the fish, providing the joint lure, installing a tail oscillating that dragging it causes the movement of this or simply by pulling the line. They work towed, from boat or recovered with a rod and fishing reel. In all them, water circulates outside the lure.

It is not known at present, any model that allow the circulation of water inside the lure, of so that when the fish passes through, the water circulates from the head to the tail, and use the effect of this flow to cause the oscillating movement of the lure and the caudal fin.

All the lures that exist in the market they suffer naturally when imitating the movements of the animal, being limited its visibility and ability to attract predators given its aerodynamics and smoothness of movements.

This invention incorporates a novelty revolutionary in this sector, by allowing water circulation through the hollow interior of the lure. This circulation is such that at through the lure from head to tail a current is generated of water that directly affects a moving part, in operation of caudal fin, located at the rear of the lure (tail) that when swinging causes a natural movement in the fish, as well as certain turbulence and vibrations in the water in order to attract the Predators.

Description of the invention

This invention consists of a fishing lure shaped like a fish or other aquatic animal, consisting of a shell pisciform (1), hollow, with the front part wider than the rear, with two openings (2 and 3), at both ends of the animal.

The section of the water inlet opening to the inside the body of the fish can be equal to or greater than the section from the outlet opening, the water that enters inside it, when going out by the tail it undergoes a speed increase producing turbulence and vibrations, which attract fish.

The caudal fin (4), located at the rear of the lure (hereinafter, fish), facing the exit of the water, is fixed to the body of this, by a vertical axis (5), or horizontal, which allows you to swing. This fin can be flat, slightly curved or helical.

One or more hook rings (6), located in the upper part of the fish, to which the tow line is attached. Depending on the situation of the ring and the location of the possible ballast, you get the fish to navigate more or less inclined, and to a greater or lesser depth.

One or more rings (7), depending on size of the fish, located at the bottom of this, which serve to hold the hooks to them.

One or more practicable slots (8), located in the body of the fish, which communicate the inside of the shell with the outside, and that depending on their situation and section they will allow to stabilize the movement, regulate the flow that comes out the queue, or modify the desired navigation angle in relation to the drag direction at the same time as they are generated Cavitation vibrations that attract the attention of predators

By advancing the fish, by any means, it introduce the water through the mouth of the fish, moving through its inside, until going out by the tail. The flow of water, upon impact on the caudal fin, causes its oscillation, on the axis that unites it to the body of the fish. The reaction to this movement, too it will be transmitted to the whole body of the fish, making it oscillate in opposite direction to the fin, producing as a whole, the effect of an oscillating advance in the water.

Description of the drawings

For a better understanding of how much is left described in this document, some drawings are attached in the that, as an example, a case study of the Lure realization.

In the cited drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section, according to the longitudinal axis of the fish, figure 2 is a top view and figure 3 is a side view.

Preferred Embodiment

The hollow lure with autonomous movement, consists One piece / main body, built in any material resistant to the marine environment and with a high degree of buoyancy and fishy appearance. The outer surface of the main block it will be covered with a resistant material, decorated in colors showy or imitation of marine species, or endowed with appendices intended to attract the attention of predators (feathers, fins, tentacles, etc.).

This main body is fixed in the tail, a vertical axis that will support the mobile rear flap, built in materials such as plastics, wood or some lightweight and incorruptible metal. In the front of the lure, corresponding to the head of the fish, a ring is fixed whose purpose is to serve as a mooring point for the recovery line. The ventral area of the lure will be provided with one or several rings, also built in incorruptible materials, of which they will hang the hooks, baits, ballasts, lines or other accessories that are desired.

So far the characteristics of the lure not they are more than those already known, but what is really a unprecedented innovation is the fact that the lure body It is longitudinally hollow, allowing the transit of water from head to tail, as the fish is recovered or dragged.

This circulation is favored by the greater opening of the anterior hole with respect to the posterior, and at angle of attack that presents the mouth of the fish. This internal transit It can be modified to pleasure thanks to the slots made in the body of the lure, which allow to derive water from the inside out before it hits the tail.

Industrial application

We are faced with an invention, whose industrial applicability is perfectly demonstrated by the explanations expressed in the body of this writing and given of the existence of a fishing accessories industry, know and It already has more advanced technology to face the Manufacturing of this invention.

Claims (5)

1. Hollow lure for fishing with movement, of those that imitate a fish or other animal, through colors, in a tapered way, characterized by presenting a hole along its length, which allows the circulation of water, communicating with the outside by means of openings, an anterior opening in the mouth of the fish, and a later opening in the tail, with angles of entry and exit, such that favor the natural movement of the lure, as well as through some slots practicable in the body of the lure , which allow regulating the flow of water inside it. 2. Hollow fishing lure according to claim 1, characterized in that the water inlet section inside the body (mouth) is larger than the outlet section (tail). 3. Hollow fishing lure according to claim 1, characterized by incorporating a vertical rod through the fish's tail, and fixed to it, whose mission is to serve as the axis of rotation for the caudal fin. 4. Hollow fishing lure according to claim 1, characterized by incorporating a horizontal rod through the fish's tail, and fixed to it, whose mission is to serve as the axis of rotation for the caudal fin. 5.
