ravenlures Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I came upon this patent which I do not or want to mess with it looks to complicated but interesting. http://www.google.com/patents/US8028464?printsec=drawing#v=onepage&q&f=false Who ever I wish him all the luck in the world it just might be the lures of the future, look at the changable jig from Lindy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassguy Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Pretty clever and a lot of thought went into the bait, but as I can see, there are way too many things that could go wrong. Thanks for sharing. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron4mvp Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Very cool idea. I would like to see a real picture of the bait though because the drawings are a little hard to picture. Do you know if the lure is in production at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretcher66 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 another problem would be that you could not really expand your line of lure much beyond the body style of the stickbait. with the exception of just the bill .

markinorf Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Geez. Could you imagine the tooling $?! Wonder if the guy made any prototypes and field tested them. That alone would be a feat. "Aint nobody got time fo dat"--Sweet Brown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Certainly an interesting concept, but I get the feeling that this was designed by someone who has never built a crankbait. I have just written a page of text but decided not to post it. Great design skills, but a non-starter, JMHO. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 If I'm not mistaken those types of clips have been around for a long time. My question is how can someone patent something that probably already has been patented? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali's.rigs.and.lures Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 i think those clips would weakening a lot from rocks and changing plus people who don't take care of there gear (rinsing it ) would get stuck and make lots of pissed of fishermen meaning no return customer for you Cali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 We made alot of rockets before we made it to the moon. What will come off of this product, we always start somewhere. Good Luck to him or her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakyhead Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've often thought of a similar idea, probably a little less complicated. I bet someone in China could mass produce pretty easy. I just think its a little gimmicky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
