Fishing Lure Accessory for Similating Fish Strike Motion

摘要

A lure accessory, operable in connection with a fishing rod and reel and with any of a wide variety of fishing lures, to create a simulated fish strike motion in the lure. The lure accessory includes a generally flat oval enclosure that incorporates a helical flat escapement spring fixed to a central axis and to a rotatable reel of leader line. The reeled leader line extends from the enclosure and attaches to the fishing lure. When the fisherman tugs on the lure assembly, the lure accessory is pulled directly while the fishing lure tends to stay motionless (initially) within the water. Once the tug on the line stops, the drag of the fishing lure is overcome by the energy in the spring within the lure accessory. The motion of the fishing lure toward the lure accessory as the spring draws the leader line back in simulates a fish strike motion.

主权项

1. A fishing lure accessory for attachment between a length of fishing line and a fishing lure, the fishing lure accessory comprising:
a generally disc shaped reel enclosure, having an external attachment point, and defining an aperture extending from inside the reel enclosure to outside the reel enclosure; a winding reel positioned within the disc shaped reel enclosure, the winding reel comprising a wound length of leader line and rotatable within the reel enclosure, the wound length of leader line having a first end fixed to the winding reel and a second end extending out through the aperture in the reel enclosure; a coil escapement spring positioned internal to the winding reel and fixed at a first end to the reel enclosure, and at a second end to the winding reel; and a connector fixed to the second end of the leader line extending from the winding reel through the aperture in the reel enclosure; wherein a fishing lure may be attached to the connector on the leader line and wherein the assembly may be dragged through the water, the fishing lure serving to draw a length of leader line out from the reel enclosure, thereby imparting potential energy to the coil escapement spring within the reel enclosure.
