Description
FISH ATI'RACIANT COMPOSllION WlTH pH ADJUSTMENT
BACKGROUND OF 1~ INVENIION
The effectiveness of a fishing lure or bait in attracting fish can be substantially improved by applying a fish attractant to the lure or bait. In the past, fish attractant solutions were used that contained a mixture of ingredients that formed solutions having an acidic pH of about 5.5.
Essentially, it is desirable for an artificial lure to simulate as many characteristics as possible of a particular bait fish. It is in this regard, .
that over the past years fishermen have used what is referred to as a fish attractant solution or composition. I~rpically, an artificial lure or other type of bait is exposed to the fish attractant solution by 'rwetting" or saturating the !~
lure or the bait with the fish attractant composition.
It is postulated that the pH of a bait fish can be an important factor in attracting other fish. It is particularly believed that the pH of the surface slime or substance is important in attracting fish. In this regard, it is speculated that when balt fish are excited by pursuing fish that the surface slime or substance gives off a solution that is of a similar pH as found in the surface slime on the bait fish. It is suspected that this product greatly excites - ~186 the pursuing fish.
It is true that pH concerns have been expressed in the fishing art. For example, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,578,889 and 4,697,371 disclose a system for determining changes in pH in the water itsel But these patents do not show or teach the concept of providing a fish attractant composition having a pH of a selected range, especially a range away from the acid side towards the alkaline or base side.
SUMMARY AND OBJECrS OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is an improved fish attractant solution with a mixture of ingredients which form an alkaline solution which is closer to the natural alkaline pH of natural fish bait. The fish attractant is comprised of a mineral oil or water base, a fish scent composition, and an amine base composition. The fish scent used in the solution can be chosen from anise oil, cod oil~ menhaden oil, and herring oil, etc. The amine base composition can typically be chosen from triethanolamine, morpholine, or combinations of these amine bases.
Preferably the pH of the total composition should be approximately 8-9, but in any event, at least on the alkaline side.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fish attractant composition that is designed to yield a composition with a specific pH range.
Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of a fish attractant composition that is provided with constituents that tend to control and establish the pH of the total solution along the alkaline side, that - ' ', ' ~ ~
.::. , ' ~ ' . :

is a pH of above 7.
Still a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of a fish attractant composition that includes an amine base composition that specifically acts to establish a pH fGr the total solutîon of approximately 8-12.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a fish attractant composition that will effectively mask human scents which tend to be acidic. The pH adjusted fish attractant of the present invention will neutralize human oils that may be present on an artificial lure.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and obvious from a study of the following description which are is illustrative of such invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPIION OF THE INVEN IION !
The present invention entails a fish attractant composition that is typically used on artificial fishing lures to attract fish. In the present case, the composition comprises what is referred to as a base or vehicle composition which is typically rnineral oil or water. Typically, this base or vehicle composition would comprise approximately 80-99% of the total composition.
Next, the composition includes a fish scent or fish flavor composition that would typically comprise 1-20% of the total composition, and preferably would comprise 5-10% of the total composition. The fish flavor or --scent composition would typically be anise oil, cod oil, menhaden oil, herring oil, or other fish related or fish equivalent oils. ~ -Finally, the composition includes a pH contributing or pH

controlling solution that is aimed at controlling the pH of the total solution within the range of approximately 8-12.
Generally, this pH contributing or regulating composition would comprise approximately 1-20% by weight of total composition. But preferably this composition would comprise approximately 0.25-1~o by weight of the total composition.
In a preferred embodiment, the pH contributing or controlling composition would be an amine base composition or some composition that is of a character that will drive or control the total composition towards the alkaline side of the pH scale. In the case of amine bases, one could use triethanolamine or morpholine. Other amine bases are as follows:
methylamine, propylamine, n-amylamine, benzyamine, morpholine, triethanolamine, butylamine, benzyl ethanolamine, benzyl dimethyarnine, benzyl isopropylamine, dimetylamine, etylamine, butylamine, and isobutyamine.
