Description

Artificial bait for fishing

The invention relates to an artificial bait for motion fishing, with an elongated body. At least one fastening element for attaching a fishing line and at least one fishing hook are connected to the body.

Such artificial baits are also known as "wobblers". The body is usually made of balsa wood or hard foam. At one end of the body there is a fastening element to which the fishing line is attached so that the artificial bait can be moved through the water when fishing. Artificial baits are known that sink in the water due to their density or float in or on the water. When the body moves through the water, an irregular swimming motion occurs that is supposed to be similar to the swimming motion of a bait fish imitated by the artificial bait. However, this is only partially achieved with the known artificial baits.

The object of the invention is to provide an artificial bait that creates a swimming motion when moving through the water,

which is similar to the swimming movement of a fish to be imitated.

This task is solved for an artificial bait of the type mentioned at the beginning in that the body has at least one stabilizing element to stabilize the movement of the artificial bait around a transverse body axis. The invention is based on the knowledge that when a fish swims, no sudden movements around one of the transverse body axes occur, since, for example, the movement of the tail fin results in a harmonious movement around a transverse body axis aligned parallel to the tail fin. As a rule, no sudden swimming movement is carried out around a transverse axis perpendicular to this transverse axis either. The stabilizing element according to the invention prevents the body from making a sudden movement around a transverse body axis, so that the movement of the body around its transverse axis is dampened and thus becomes more harmonious and more similar to the swimming movement of a bait fish.

In one embodiment of the invention, the stabilizing element has an elongated shape and is flexible. The elasticity ensures that movements around the body's transverse axis are dampened more strongly as the angle of rotation increases. Once the deflecting force has disappeared, the body is pressed back into its original position because the water exerts a certain pressure on the stabilizing element.

This behavior is enhanced when the stabilizing element is attached to an end region of the body facing away from the fastening element and the direction of the axis of the stabilizing element roughly coincides with the axis of the body.

By using a natural feather, such as a bird's feather, as a stabilizing element, the stabilizing element can be realized using simple means.

In the following, embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings:

Figure 1 a first artificial bait with Stabili

ization element, and

Figure 2 a second artificial bait with Stabili

ization element.

A first artificial bait 10 shown in Figure 1 contains a body 12 and a stabilizing element 14 that is fixedly connected to the body. The body 12 contains a base 16 made of a transparent plastic material and an upper structure 18 made of a rigid foam that is glued to the base 16. The upper structure essentially has an ellipsoidal basic shape and is streamlined. The surface of the upper structure 18 has a color that simulates the external appearance of a fish. For example, a fish eye 20 and dark stripes 22 are shown on the surface of the upper structure 18.

A metal wire 24 is mostly cast in the base 16. Three non-cast sections of the metal wire 24 form a front attachment eyelet 26, a middle attachment eyelet 28 and a rear attachment eyelet 30. The attachment eyelet 26 is located at a first end region of the body 12. A fishing line 32 is passed through the attachment eyelet 26, with which the artificial bait 10 is pulled through the water. The attachment eyelets 28 and 30 serve to accommodate two fishing hooks 34 and 36. The fishing hook 34 is attached to the attachment eyelet 28 with the aid of a fastening ring 38. The hook 34 is attached directly to the eyelet 30.

Figure 1 also shows a coordinate system 40. The coordinate system 40 has a horizontal x-axis, a vertical y-axis and a z-axis running perpendicular to the plane of the page. A longitudinal axis 42 of the body 12 runs in the longitudinal direction of the body 12 through the center of gravity S. A first transverse axis 44 runs in the y-direction through the center of gravity S of the artificial bait 10. The direction of a further transverse axis 46, which also runs through the center of gravity S, corresponds to the z-direction.

If the artificial bait 10 is moved through the water by a force F, which is shown by an arrow in Figure 1, movements of the artificial bait 10 in the direction of the transverse axes are stabilized by the stabilizing element 14. A sudden deflection of the artificial bait 10 from its longitudinal axis 42, e.g. by the angle α with respect to the center of gravity S is made more difficult because the stabilizing element 14 has a higher resistance in the water in the direction of the angle α than in the direction of the longitudinal axis 42. In addition, the water pressure on the stabilizing element 14 caused by the forward movement of the artificial bait 10 counteracts a deflection by the angle α, so that the artificial bait 10 again assumes the position shown in Figure 1. The stabilizing element 14 ensures that, when deflected around a transverse axis, such as 44 or 46, the swimming movement of the artificial bait closely matches the swimming movement of an imitated fish, since sudden movements are avoided.

Figure 2 shows a second artificial bait 20 with a stabilizing element 14'. Components with the same function that have already been explained with reference to Figure 1 are identified in Figure 2 with the same reference symbol, but with a superscript line, and are not explained again.

The upper structure 18' of the artificial lure 10' is more closely spherical in shape than the shape of the upper structure 18. In addition,

a metal eyelet 50 and a fishing hook 52 are attached directly to the superstructure 18·.

Since the artificial bait 10' imitates a different fish, the surface of the upper structure 18' has a different color than the surface of the upper structure 18, which is shown in a section 54. A gill flap 56 is also shown on the upper structure 18'. Two feelers 58 are attached to the lower structure 16'.

The stabilizing element 14' is designed in such a way that when the artificial bait 10' moves, a swimming movement occurs that closely matches the swimming movement of the fish imitated by the artificial bait 10'.
