Definitions

  • This invention relates to fish attractants that can be used in combination with an artificial lure to enhance the appeal of the lure to fish.
  • this invention relates to a fish attractant that will generate noise to attract fish, and to a fish attractant capsule that can be readily used in combination with standard fishing lures.
  • Sport fishing is a widely practised, and common activity throughout the world. Each year, literally billions of dollars are spent in the sport fishing industry. A sizeable percentage of this money is spent on the purchase of fishing lures which are desired to attract fish by resembling bait; particularly in appearance. Other lures are used which are made to attract fish by the "behaviour” of the lure as moves through the water. In general, these materials are termed as fish "attractants" by the industry.
  • a variety of materials have been added to fish lures to enhance the ability of a live or artificial lure by appealing to the visual or auditory senses of the fish. Further, other materials are added which appeal to the olfactory and taste senses of fish, and can be considered to be taste-based fish attractants.
  • These taste-based attractants can includes materials which are typically based on a variety of oil and water based materials, and include liquid materials such as flavoured, oils such as cod liver oil, menhaden oil, herring oil or salmon oil, or perfumes and the like.
  • Other taste-based solid fish attractants include materials such as salt, or food products such as garlic. Solid based attractants are typically used by attaching the solid material to the lure.
  • a common practise is to provide a lure with a open compartment adapted to receive the solid attractant.
  • These lures may be described as "tube” baits in that the lure has a tube which is open to the water so that the attractant is slowly dispersed, or dissolves in the water.
  • Liquid based attractants are usually used by coating of the lure, live bait, or the like, with the fish attractant.
  • the attractant may be a solid or a liquid material which is typically dissolved or suspended in a suitable liquid medium.
  • the attractant is released into the water.
  • Liquid attractants may also be used in a tube bait style of lure provided that the liquid is not released too quickly from the lure.
  • Fish attractants are also known wherein the attractant appeals to the auditory senses of the fish by generating a noise which attracts the fish.
  • This type of attractant provides advantages over visual or taste-based attractants in that the attractant can be use in water having poor visibility, and in that the attractant provides a noise source which can be located exactly by the fish rather than an attractant which has been dispersed through a general area of the water.
  • One known system of solid, noise-based attractants comprises a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in a soft, malleable, waterproof wax shell (US Patent No. 5201138). When pierced and placed in the water, the composition reacts to liberate carbon dioxide gas bubbles to puzzle and attract fish.
  • an effervescent material such as Alka-Seltzer (Trade Mark) is added to the lure, or tube bait (e.g. a bait with a hollow inner chamber, open to the water in which various materials can be inserted)
  • the two reactants When immersed in water, the two reactants are slowly released from the oil-based reagents and react with each other to produce a slow steady effervescence of bubbles which are released into the water.
  • This effervescence produces a stream of bubbles which not only visually attracts fish, but the effervescence produced also creates an audible noise to act as a further fish attractant.
  • this effervescent noise is typically a steady, continuous, quiet "hissing" noise.
  • liquid attractant systems can be used under some circumstances, it would be desirable to provide a solid attractant system which eliminates the need for use of liquid attractants since liquid system can be more difficult to use, under typical fishing conditions, than solid based systems.
  • the present invention provides a fish attractant comprising a water soluble material which contains occluded gas pockets within said material, and wherein said pockets contain a compressed gas, such that as said water soluble material dissolves, said compressed gas is released and produces audible noise.
  • this noise is an intermittent, irregular noise, but may also be a steady constant noise.
  • the intermittent, irregular noise may be described as a "popping" noise which occurs randomly, as the compressed gas is released from the material.
  • the popping noise may be from either the rapid release of gas, or from the fracturing of the material.
  • the present invention also provides a solid fish attractant system comprising a hollow, solid, capsule which capsule contains a liquid or solid fish attractant material.
  • the capsule is water soluble.
  • One type of preferred capsule is a gelatin capsule.
  • the fish attractant may be any known fish attractant which will not dissolve the capsule. This includes the intermittent noise producing attractants described hereinabove with reference to the present invention, as well as any other known fish attractant.
  • a preferred form of hollow, water soluble capsule is a gelatin capsule commonly used for medicinal purposes. These capsules are readily available, easily filled, and easily sealed in order to avoid accidental loss of attractant from the capsule.
  • the capsule is a two part device wherein each part is a hollow cylinder with a conical end and an open end. The attractant is inserted into at least one part of the capsule, and then one half of the capsule is inserted into the other part of the capsule in order to provide a leak-proof seal.
  • capsule hold a volume of about 0.25 to 1 ml of material, and are approximately 5 to 10 mm in diameter and 20 to 25 mm in length. Other sizes are available. Generally, this volume is sufficient to hold approximately 0.25 to 1 gram of fish attractant, although the amount of attractant can be varied by selecting a different size of capsule.
  • the capsules are solid in contrast to the malleable wax devices described in US 5201138. However, this means only that the capsules have sufficient strength to maintain their shape, and not deform, under some limited pressure. However, the capsules may be flexible so that they can deform under pressure.
  • the capsules have the advantage that they can be easily handled under common fishing conditions, and easily inserted (or removed) from common tube baits.
  • the present invention also provides a fish bait system comprising a fish bait and a solid fish attractant system as described hereinabove.
  • the present invention also provides a method of fishing comprising inserting a solid fish attractant into a fish bait to create a fish bait system, and then using said fish bait system to catch fish.
  • Baits may be modified by boring a suitably sized hole into the bait using a coring device.
  • the fish attractant capsule can be attached to the exterior of commonly available lures or hooks by use of attachment means such as glues, clips, elastic bands and the like.
  • the angler has a selection of different materials that can be utilized in the tube bait.
  • one capsule may hold a mixture of garlic and an effervescent bicarbonate combination, while another capsule holds a noise generating fish attractant of the type described hereinabove with respect to the present invention.
  • Any suitable fish attractant may be used provided that the attractant does not prematurely dissolve the capsule.
  • Attractants which can be used include the attractants described hereinabove with respect to the prior art, including garlic, Alka-Selzer or other effervescent materials, pellets of fish meal or squid, or the like, salt, anise, various amino acids, synthesed pheromones, and the like, as well as non-aqueous, liquid attractants.
  • the capsules are preferably water soluble in order that they can release the fish attractant by dissolution of the capsule. Also, water solubility of the capsule will ensure that the capsules do not collect in the environment.
  • the capsule can be allowed to dissolve on its own, or it may be punctured prior to use. By puncturing the capsule, either a water soluble or non-soluble capsule can be used.
  • the capsules can also be colour coded to allow easy identification of the type of attractant being used.
  • the bait is filled with one attractant capsule.
  • Each capsule will have effect for a specific length of time depending on the nature and amount of attractant used, and on the dissolution rate of the water soluble capsule. It is typically desirable to have the fish attractant capsule provide for the release of fish attractant (or generate a fish attractant effect) over a period of from 0.1 minutes to 60 minutes. More preferably, the capsule releases fish attractant, or provides for a fish attractant effect, for a period of from 1 to 30 minutes, and most preferably, the capsule releases fish attractant, or provides for a fish attractant effect, for a period of from 5 to 20 minutes.
  • the angler When the effect of the fish attractant capsule is completed, or if the angler decides to switch fish attractant types, the remains of the previous attractant (if any) can be readily removed from the tube bait and a new (and possibly different) fish attractant capsule can be inserted. In this manner, an angler has available a system in which all of his fish attractant needs are met by having a small number of easily handled gelatin capsules carrying in, for example, a plastic bag. The angler thus has the option of selecting a desired effect, choosing the appropriately filled capsule, and conveniently changing the attractant properties of the lure simply by changing the capsule.
  • This system provides significant operational advantages over prior art systems requiring the use of liquid attractants, which can leak from containers or that can be spilled, or other solid attractants which are typically a collection of powders, hard pressed tablets, or loose materials which are pressed into the tube bait.
  • a particularly preferred type of fish attractant is a noise generating attractant, and in particular, a noise generating attractant which contains a compressed gas (hereinafter a gassified attractant).
  • gassified attractants may be made by a variety of techniques including a system wherein a heated, viscous, molten mass is stirred under above atmospheric pressure in order incorporate gas pockets (or voids containing pressurised gas) in the molten mass. The mass is then allowed to cool and solidify under pressure so that the gas contained in the gas pockets is sealed within the mass. The mass can then be broken into small pieces suitable for use in the present invention.
  • Suitable materials for use as the molten mass can include any water soluble material, or any material which will be affected by water so as to release the compressed gas from the attractant. While many water soluble polymers might be used, a preferred material is a food product or other biodegradable material in order to minimize any impact on the environment.
  • a preferred form of material is a gassified caramel material which can be produced according to the process as described in US Patent No. 4837039 or US Patent No. 5279842. Gassified candy is commonly available as a confectionery product, and is sold under the Canadian or US trade mark "Pop Rocks". A most preferred embodiment of the present invention is the use of this gassified candy product as a fish attractant, or as a fish attractant contained within a gelatin capsule.
  • the noise generated by the gassified attractant of the present invention is dependent on the nature of the material selected as the molten mass, and is dependent on the size of the voids in the mass.
  • the size of the voids in the mass can typically vary from 0.1 mm to 1 mm, while the size of the particles of gassified attractant can typically vary from 0.2 mm to 10 mm, and more preferably from 0.5 mm to 4.5 mm. It has been found that use of gassified attractant consisting of particles of less than 0.5 mm typically tends to produce an effervescent sound similar to the bicarbonate effervescent materials. As the particle size increases to, for example, above 0.5 mm diameter, the particles typically produce a louder, sharper noise. Generally, the larger the particle, the louder the sound.
  • gassified attractant can be utilized in order to provide materials which behave in a similar fashion. This can also include methods wherein the molten mass is stirred under reduced atmospheric conditions in order to produce sealed gas pockets of gas at a reduced pressure.
  • the gassified attractant can also be modified or treated in order to delay the release of the compressed gas. Delaying methods can involve the use of less soluble materials, or could involve the use of coating agents, such as oils including oils such as coconut oil, on the particles of gassified attractant.
  • the gassified attractant utilized can then consist of a mixture of different particles types in order to provide for noise generation over an extended time.
  • the gas used to produce the gassified attractant can by any suitable gas.
  • the gas selected is non-toxic and will have little or no effect on the environment.
  • gases include compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, all of which are commonly available.
  • the gassified attractant can be used in combination with any of the prior art fish attractants in order to provide additional fish attractant properties.
