The invention related to the fishing lures area, particularly related to the crankbait fishing lure that dives under the water to imitate the bait fish's action.
The fishing lures are designed to mimic bait fish to attract the attention of predatory fish through appearance, colors, bright reflections, movements, vibrations and loud noises. The lures appeal to the fish's predation instinct and entice it into gulping the lure and then get hooked.
The prior art shown in
Applicant notes that it is possible to upgrade the prior art's attraction to fish by providing a flexible metallic bill, as well as segmenting head and body, and arranging metal spots and metal plates on connecting bevels between the head and the body to produce noise. The flexible movement of the bill creates unique actions underwater, and the brightness of the metal bill increases the visual attraction. The segmented structure of the head and body or a multi-segmented body follows the fishing head part and presents the side-to-side swim action, which can not be found in the prior art. The metal spots and metal plates smash frequently to produce the metal chattering sounds.
In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a fishing lure with a flexible metallic bill, a head part, a segmented body and a tail part, which has the characteristics of a flexible metallic bill so that a fishing lure moves more stably, reaches different depths, and imitates fish's action vividly, and bumping metal spots and metal plates smash frequently to produce chattering noise to be more attractive to fish. In the movement, the crankbait fishing lure integrates the reflection of spoon fishing lures, which can attract the fish more efficiently.
The technical solution of the present invention to solve the existing problems is: 1. A fishing lure comprising a head part, a body part, a tail part and a metallic bill; wherein the head part is connected with the body part via at least two jointed connections; the head part whose back end is provided with first metal spots, and front-end is provided with a horizontal opening; the body part is provided with second metal plates on front-ends, so that the second metal plates smash the first metal spots to produce chattering noise when moving; the metallic bill that one end pivotably connects to the horizontal opening, and another end extends away.
The present invention has beneficial effects: the present invention provides a segmented structure of head part and body part or multi-segmented body parts to make it move more flexibly and imitate fish action more vividly. Furthermore, by providing metal spots and metal plates arranged on opposite bevels between connection of the head part and the body part to produce chattering noise, it becomes more attractive to fish. In addition, the body part comprises at least one segmented body part, and two or more segmented parts connecting via flexible joints. In result, it can imitate different side to side actions that a lure of one-piece structure unable to do.
There is a horizontal opening built near the mouth area that enables the metallic bill to be connected with the body via mechanical means. The metallic bill flexible action changes the water flow, combining the metal parts' chattering sound, all present the visual and acoustic attraction to fish, which is not available in the conventional fishing lures. The flexible metallic bill guarantees the lure's stability in action and maneuverability for angler's operation.
