Methods and apparatus for enhanced audible fishing equipment with heat shrink

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure with desirable waterproofing and hydrodynamic properties. The Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure has a sound generator, or other noisemaking device, fixed by a waterproof means to the body of the device, combined with reflective material to maximize the device's attractiveness to fish. The heat shrink process itself ensures smooth glide through the water and waterproofing of the elements of the lure. The present disclosure also provides apparatus and method for manufacturing a weighted popping flotation device, which has desirable water-resistance properties, a plurality of audible generators to attract fish, and is weighted precisely to ensure ease of casting into the wind. In some embodiments, the weighted popping flotation device utilizes heat shrink tubing to prevent snagging of the fishing line when dragged through water.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]In some embodiments, the Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure further comprises a reflective blade, and a swivel that movably attaches the blade to the spoon lure. In still other embodiments, the Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure further comprises a second heat shrink tube that fixably binds the swivel to the hook. The present disclosure also describes a weighted popping flotation device with desirable audible quality, waterproofing, and wind-resistant properties.

Problems solved by technology

These components are often temporarily affixed to lures, as many methods of affixation are not waterproof.
