ravenlures 96 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassguy 41 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaron4mvp 2 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stretcher66 88 Report post 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 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markinorf 11 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vodkaman 908 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nova 56 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cali's.rigs.and.lures 2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shakyhead 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
