Abstract

ABSTRACT

An artificial or synthetic fishing bait, which is pliable and formable, and which has a shelf-life of up to six months at ambient conditions, has flavouring and/or colouring substances contained in a support matrix or structure formed from a combination of cereal, water and hydrogenated fats. Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins and polyhydric alcohols may be added to increase the attractiveness of the bait to fish and to inhibit the deterioration of the bait, which may also contain humectants, preservatives and anti-oxidants.

Description

BACKGRO~ND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of_the Invention:
This invention relates to an ar-tificial or synthetic fishing bait.
(2) Brief description of the Prior Art:
With the rapid advances in technology in the las-t decade or so, which have led to a reduction in working hours, people f.rom all walks of life now have more time available to devote to leisure and recreational activities such as fishing.
To attract the fish, and to induce them to -take the hook, the fisherman attaches a piece of bait to the hook. When the fish swalLow the bait and the hook, they are caught and may be reeled in. (The expression "fish"
is used broadly to include all marine life such as vertebrates and crustaceans, and the expression "hook"
is used to include any object which is normally used to carry the bait or lure and which is normally swallowed, wholly or partly, by the fish.) While a wide range of edible substances may be used as bait, it has been shown that fish display stronger preferences for certain worms, pieces of fish meat, crustaceous or similar organic matter.
All these baits are subject to bacterial decom-position and so require refrigerated storage conditions to prevent rapid spoilage, the spoilage being indicated by unpleasant odours. In addition, the decomposition of the bait reduces its attractiveness to the fish and so frequent replacement of the bait becomes necessary~
Many fishermen fish in rivers or lakes located in remo'ce areas or from boats and often do not have access - 2 - ~

to refrigerated storage for their bait and they are unable to obtain fresh supplies of bait at frequent intervals.
Any bait which is not used during a fishing trip is usually in a state of advanced decomposition and cannot be stored for later use, representing a financial loss to the fisherman.
In addition, many species of fish show a distinct preference for certain types of bait and if the fisherman does not ha~re that particular bait available, his chances of success are small.
~IEF SUMI~ARY OF T~E PRESENT INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an artificial or synthetic bait for fishing which is attractive to fish and which will induce them to take the bait and become caught.
It is a preferred object to provide such a bait which is more attractive to fish than the natural baits presently used.
It is a further preferred object to provide a bait which may be kept at room temperature and which does not req~re storage under refrigerated conditions.
Other preferred objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.
In one aspect the present invention resides in an artificial or synthetic fishing bait which is pliable and formable and substantially shelf~stable, the bait comprising, in combination:
a cereal substance;
water; and a hydrogenated fat.

1 Preferably the ~ait further includes hydrolyzed veget-able proteins and polyhydric alcohols which delay the deterior-ation of the bait under non-refrigerated conditions, Preferably the bait is shelf-stable at ambient temperatures and conditions for up to six months, The expression ambient temperatures shall include temperatures around 20C.
Preferably the bait further includes one or more colour-ing substances to increase the attractiveness of the bait to the fish and to induce the fish to ingest the bait in preference -to ~0 natural food.
Preferably the bait further includes flavouring sub-stances ~hich, upon immersion of the bait in water, slowl~
diffuse into the surrounding water to attract the fish.
Preferably the bait contains t~o or more colouring sub-stances of which at least one is water soluble to enable a con-trolled release of the colouring substances into the surrounding waterl the combina-tion of the colouring and flavouring subs-tances making the bait highly attractive to the fish.
Preferably the hydrogenated fats act as a supporting matrix or structure for the flavouring and colouring substances, while enabling the bait to be pliable and formable about the hook.
Suitable hydrogenated fats include animal fats such as tallow, beef, mutton, pork and chicken fats, vegetable fats such as those used in the manufacture of margarine or butter fats.
Preferably, as a source of amino-acids, the h~drogenated fa-ts act as an attractant for the fish.
Preferably the cereal substances act to bind the matrix together and may include wheaten flour, maize flour~

rye flour, oa-ten flour, barley flour, rice flour, sorghum flour, triticate or pre-gelatinized starch.
The bait may also include emulsifiers, plasticizers, humectants, preservatives (e.g. potassium sorbate) and anti~oxidants to improve the pliability, formability and shelf-life of the bait.
In the second aspect the present invention resides in an artificial or synthetic fishing bait comprising, in combination:
a cereal substance;

water;
a polyhydric alcohol;
a hydrogenated fat;
at least one flavouring substance; and at least one colouring substance;
the fat, in the aqueous phase, providing a support-ing matrix or structure in which the flavouring substance(s) is/are dissolved and released, and in which the colouring substance(s) is/are partially or wholly dissolved in the lipid phase to diffuse partially or wholly into the water surrounding the bait to attract fish;
the bait being pliable and formable and substantially shelf-stable a-t ambient temperatures and conditions for up to six months.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE
-INVENTION:

To enable the invention to be fully understood, a number of examples will now be described.

The ~lavouring and colouring substances are standard commercially available products.
The resultant bait is pliable and can be easily -~formed about a hook so that the hook may be covered. The bait remains on the hook for a considerable period of time despite the eroding and attritive action of the water. Experiments have shown that the bait has a shelf-life, under ambient temperatures and conditions, of up to six months and shows little deterioration under non-refrigerated conditions.
Various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described without departing from the scope o~ the present invention as defined in the Claims.
