Description
Vibrating Lure
The invention relates to amateur fishing, in particular, to the artificial lure
with a movable petal of type ‘in-line spinners’.
There are known the in-line spinners, which are based on the usage of a
metal petal rotating around the wire axle (shaft) when led. Typically, the axle
either passes directly through the hole in the petal or through the assembled unit of
‘shackle – collar’ whereon the petal hangs. The in-line spinners can be also
divided into two groups, one of which has got a front load and the other – a rear
load. In the in-line spinner with the front load, the weight is arranged before the
in-line spinner. The in-line spinners with the front load can be thrown farther, as
their weight and size practically make no influence on the size of a petal
[Современный спиннинг. Братья Щербаковы «Издательство Астрель», 2006,
с. 65-73] [Brothers Scherbakovs. Modern Spinning Technique.– М.– ООО
Publishing house Astrel, 2006, p.65–73].
In transparent water the in-line spinners attract a predator attention by
shimmering glitter of the petal being similar to a scale sparkle of a small playable
fish.
The strongest oscillations are created by the in-line spinners having large
and wide petals. However, these spinners have high drag when moving. In
addition, these spinners can not be used in deep water: firstly, the spinner very
much overloads the rod and the line, and secondly, it tends to surface even at a
low rate of leading. When using the in-line spinner, there should be taken into
account that in some circumstances, it may cause twisting of the fishing line on
difficult conditions, the line should be thrown away after a few casts at fishing.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
On performing the cast, the in-line spinner having a front load is often
engulfed over hooks by the fishing line. At the moment of flying the bait, it is
possible to reduce the danger of tie by performing the cast smoothly along a steep
trajectory with avoiding low and strong throws. Not to be knotted with the hooks
while diving, the line should be slightly restrained before the bait touches the
water. [Современный спиннинг. Блищ В.Н. Москва Аквариум, 2003 , с. 64 –
69]. [Modern spinning. Blisch V.N. Aquarium Moscow, 2003, p. 64 - 69].
In ensuring the effectiveness of the in-line spinners, the characters of the
vibrations created by the above said in-line spinners are of great crucial
importance. In some cases, the predator is attracted by the baits generating sharp
fluctuations and vibrations, and the in-line spinners creating soft and uniform
vibrations are not effective. The in-line spinners can only create the vibrations of
one intensity and frequency. To change the type of vibrations, it is necessary to
use another spoon.
The in-line spinner oscillations are radiated by the petal during its smooth
uniform rotation, and therefore, the character of oscillations, which are soft and
uniform vibrations occurring during the smooth rotation of the curved plate in a
stream of water distinguishing the oscillations of the in-line spinners from the
vibrations produced, for example, at swinging from side to side of the other types
of baits.
Since one of the elements that attracts predators are noises generated by
bait, some in-line spinners are additionally equipped with special noise chambers.
The in-line spinners, however, have the following disadvantages.
When using spinners, twisting of a fishing line while operating the spinners
is based on the non-interrupting rotation around a thin axle. The continuous
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
rotation of the petals results in gradual tightening of the thin axles whereon they
are located, as the process of rotation of such an axle substantially meets no
resistance in water flow. Because of the fact that at the present time, there are
widely used the expensive braided cords as fishing lines (their cost is many times
more then the cost of the spinners) having high strength, wear resistance and
durability, the use of the in-line spinners results in rapid damage of the cords. To
prevent this phenomenon at using the in-line spinners, there are additionally
applied various devices to prevent a fishing line from spinning, but the problem is
not solved in principle. In addition, such devices for preventing a fishing line from
spinning can scare off the predators.
Some types of the in-line spinners are poorly thrown, because at casting the
in-line spinners are often engulfed by the fishing line over a hook. Because of the
fact that in the in-line spinner, there is used a large petal, comparable in size with
the spinner itself, which petal being attached to the axle of the spinner at one point
and having a high degree of freedom, the petal, except rotation, is also free to
deviate from the axis of the spinner at any angle, and at casting spinner with a load
arranged on the axle behind the plate, that plate sails creating significant resistance
at flying, randomly move and tremble, preventing long distance casting spinners.
For the same reason, the spinner flies unstably, it tumbles resulting in frequent
engulfing of the fishing line over the hook of the in-line spinner.
Using the in-line spinners having a load arranged in the nose portion of the
spinner, causes the plate to have already rotated in the air, creating an even greater
resistance to the flight, which fact results in increasing the drag and shortening the
flight range. In addition, engulfing of such spinners occurs more frequently as the
load provides flying of the spinner with the axis position at horizontal plane, while
the fishing line attached to the spinner in the nose portion, is adjacent to the axle
and lies down on the hook arranged at the tail portion of the spinner right on its
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
axle (axis). To eliminate this phenomenon of the spinner with a load arranged at
front portion of the spinner, there is often used a regular hard wire fishing leash,
which cannot completely eliminate the problem and which is an additional
element alarming some types of predator.
The in-line spinners with a load arranged in the middle portion of the
spinner operates stable only at achieving a certain speed. Since the in-line spinners
are connected with a fishing line in the spinner nose portion, in the beginning of
its movement the axle is arranged in a position close to the vertical one, wherein
the plate is studded onto the axle, and its rotation gets impossible. When the
required speed of the in-line spinner had achieved, the spinner axle (axis) occupies
a position close to the horizontal one, and the plate starts rotating. Accordingly, to
start and provide the stable operation of such kind of spinner, there is need in need
in a special value of speed below which the plate stops spinning. Usually the
predator prefers slow moving bait, and in some cases, it is required the use of a
bait moving slower than the in-line spinners. In addition, while accelerating
without any oscillations at the beginning of leading, the in-line spinner at frequent
stopping and recommencing leading, runs inefficiently a part of its way under the
water. The in-line spinners with a load in the middle portion of the spinner for the
bottom leading at great depths are unsuitable because they immediately float up
and stop operating after having interrupted movement and fall onto the bottom.
The in-line spinners with the load arranged in the nose portion of the spinner are
used for a bottom leading jig, that is a method wherein there is alternated short-
term pulling on the fishing line and followed stopping, and in doing so the spinner
rises from the bottom and again lowers down. Since, while rotating in water flow,
the petal creates a high resistance to movement, it goes on rotating with changing
its angle in the vertical plane for the directly opposite one, and the spinner has no
other structural elements that could make it lower down, acting as an anti-wing, as
a wobbler blade, and the uniform movement results in rapid floating up of the bait
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
in the upper layers of water. Thus, the spinners might be problematic for the
uniform bottom leading at considerable depths, which technique is necessary when
fishing of certain species of predator. In such cases, there are often used the
spinners of considerable load that roughens the fishing tackle, troubles fish and
does not solve the problem. For the same reason the in-line spinners without
additional external load cannot be used at great depths to fish by trolling, that is,
with uniform dragging behind a moving boat.
While rotating in water, the petal flits attractively to the predators, but it
does not cover over the front-arranged static load of the bait as well as the hook
arranged in the tail portion of the bait, which often scare off the predators.
The technical solution being the closest one to the present invention is a
universal mountable and demountable in-line spinner “Симма” comprising a shaft
(axle) made of metal, thin and elastic wire and having a limb arranged at its end
portion; a hook associated with the shaft; and also a petal (plate) and a removable
load associated with the limb, which are arranged on the shaft, wherein the load
has an opening of a slit shape being offset relative to the load axis of symmetry
[RU No. 2064259 C1, A01K 85/ 00, 1996].
The petal is attached to the axle at one point, and this fact provides for its
uniform rotation during the spinner movement. In doing so, the petal is
independently departing from the axis of the spinner rotation for a certain angle
that depends on the petal curve, speed of leading and other factors.
The design features of the spinner improve its usability by allowing the
actual field replacement of its basic elements making the spinner mobile and
raising its productivity. Thus, the spinner design does make it possible to replace a
load allowing, to a certain extent, to change the depth of its normal leading
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
process and also to replace the rotating petal (plate), as well as allowing, to a
certain extent, to change the nature of the oscillations there created. Since the
general defect of the in-line spinners is the fishing line twisting while using the
spinner, there was applied the design of a load with an offset hole to be aimed at
eliminating the fishing line twist.
At the same time, to use the spinner at different depths, it is necessary to
have several loads of different weights, and changing the nature of oscillations
requires a corresponding number of spare petals, which is inconvenient. To
replace spare completing parts, it is required to have special time. Furthermore,
using an oversized lead of a more considerable weight to increase the depth of
leading makes a predator worrying.
Replacing a rotating petal allows, to a certain degree, forcing the
oscillations created by the spinner, but it does not significantly alter the type and
nature of the created oscillations.
Using a spinner having a massive load roughens the tackle, makes fish
worrying and results in a reduction of bites. Moreover, when entering shallower
places, the heavy spinner, being located parallel to the bottom, usually moves in
close proximity to the bottom and touches the bottom not only with a load, but
also with a petal, which in such a case stops operating.
In addition, this spinner has a hook, located directly on the axis of the
spinner, increasing the fear of knotting of the fishing line over the hook at casting.
When lowering the spinner in the vertical plane, the fishing line runs at close
proximity to the hook, which fact increases the risk of knotting over the hook
when using this fishing spinner in a plumb or driftage, as well as snagging of the
fishing line for the rotating petal. When using spinners at fishing in plumb, while
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
being pulled up, the spinner runs and creates oscillations, but the spinner rises and
falls unnaturally, in the vertical plane, which fact also limits the possibility of
using this method. These drawbacks limit the use of spinners for fishing in plumb.
The design features of the spinner allow using it at cast fishing, including
the usage of the jig method at a considerable depth. But because of the large drag
and lack of design planes acting as anti-wings, this spinner is problematic to use
for trolling or uniform leading at great depths.
The in-line spinner oscillations are emitted by the petal during its smooth
and uniform rotation.
Since the petal rotating in the water flow creates high resistance to the
movement and constantly changes its angle for the opposite one in the vertical
plane, and the spinner, except for a load, has no other structural elements that
could make the spinner to deepen while acting as an anti-wing, as a blade of the
wobbler, the uniform movement results in gradual surfacing of the spinner,
especially when trolling at considerable speed.
The presence of only one tail hook increases the number of ‘idle’ bites
under the condition when a fish grabs the spinner in the area of a load and plate
(petal) and is not pinpointed over the hook.
Taking into account that a plate, which smoothly rotates in a flow of water
and is faced with its convex side towards the oncoming flow of water, does not
create any significant lateral forces deflecting the spinner axis aside, therefore, the
spinner practically moves without any lateral deviations from side to side.
Thus, in the process of the spinner operation, its load, axle and hook are
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
moving without oscillations thereby exposing themselves so unnatural and
unattractive that sometimes they make a predator troubling.
It may be advantageous for an embodiment of the invention to solving the
technical problem to change the design known from the art and create a vibrating
lure for amateur fishing, which would have significant oscillations within the
effective range of frequencies and amplitudes, the ability to perform self-
deepening, high flight characteristics when casting, and also which would be
universal for different ways of fishing, particularly, at great depths, and which
would be resulted in increased performance while fishing predatory.
An embodiment of the invention may be used for amateur fishing of
predatory fish by trolling, jigging, plumb baiting and uniform bottom leading at
great depths, as well as it can be used during winter time in ice-free basins in open
water for fishing at wells.
A first aspect of the invention provides a vibrating lure comprising, an
elongated holder with at least one hole for fixing a fishing line, a load at its front
portion, a hook at its rear portion, and a longitudinally elongate plate movably

or obliquely (at an angle)
The vibrating lure can be additionally equipped with at least one more hook
movably or fixedly attached to the front portion of the vibrating lure, with the
loops or holes for attaching the hooks being located at the bent (turned) ends of the
protrusions of the holder, or with a hole for the tail (rear) hook being located at the
flat and rear portion of the holder, or with the loop for the front hook being located
on the load at the front portion of the holder.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
The plate may be executed either with an extended front, middle or rear
portion, or with a flat edge of the front portion, or with a symmetrical cutout in the
flat edge of the front portion.
The plate may have a curve of cylindrical or conical configuration, in the
form of facets or of combined form. The plate may have a flat or flattened front
portion and a rear portion curved to a greater extent.
The holes of the plate may be located in the tapered or longitudinal recesses,
which are additionally provided on the plate and protrude above the surface of a
back side of the plate, or at least one of the holes of the plate may be
symmetrically elongated transversely to the plate axis of symmetry.
The load can be movably or fixedly connected to the front portion of the

6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
The hook of the lure can be fitted with a fur or synthetic brush or a silicone
worm as the additional attractions for the predators.
The claimed vibrating lure may have the load located in the nose portion as
well as the planes arranged likewise the feathers of an arrow while flying, and
therefore may perform the function of the stabilizer. At flying, the vibrating lure
may be oriented forward with the nose portion, while the plate being behind the
load, which arrangement stabilizes the flight, lengthwise the longitudinal axis of
the lure.
The plate of the vibrating lure does not change its angle of inclination
relative to the longitudinal axis of the lure and, therefore, may does not interfere
with the flight.
While being in operation, the vibrating lure may not rotate around the axis
and may not be able to twist the line.
The arrangement of the tail hook being shifted relative to the longitudinal
axis, and also the lower and front hooks being arranged aside from fishing line,
without additional structural elements, may considerably reduce a probability of
knotting fishing line over the hooks at casting the vibrating lure, which is not
engulfed by the fishing line over the hook at vertical sinking to the bottom.
The vibrating lure has a plate that may create strong vibrations and has
dimensions slightly less than the total length of the lure. The vibrating lure may
create strong vibrating oscillations propagating over a long distance; one and the
same lure may offer a possibility for the choice of several options of the
structurally inherent vibration with different strength and frequency of vibration,
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
which can be varied in the course of fishing without structural changes and
adjustments of the lures.
When leading (posting) the vibrating lure, all its parts may actively perform
oscillations providing its attractiveness without making a predator trouble.
While opening and closing thick and fast virtually all the design elements of
the lure, the vibrating plate may make it impossible for a predator to see it, and the
plate itself creates sharp color flashing, which attracts predators.
At turning with great frequency, the plate may hit into the design elements
that limit turns and, without additional structural elements, may create noise, being
attractive for the predators.
Similar to the wobbler, the vibrating lure may have the ability to perform
deepening, regardless of its weight, and while moving, it is independently
deepening by the depth, which is constructively specified and moves without
breaking surface at a given depth and even at a considerable speed. The function
of deepening can be interrupted and restarted in the course of leading of the
vibrating lure.
The vibrating lure may be designed to operate at great depths and may be
lightweight, which fact may make it convenient for using in various methods of
fishing, primarily for trolling, plumb baiting and uniform bottom leading at great
depths.
The vibrating lure may be efficient in the course of slowest leading, wherein
it creates steady vibrations at drawing its nose portion along the bottom.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
The vibrating lure may start operating immediately in the beginning of the
movement. Moreover, its tail portion, which is equipped with a hook, may move
in an elevated state relative to the nose position, reducing the risk of snagging over
the hook at the bottom with the obstacles and providing oscillations generated by
the vibrating lure.
The vibrating lure may have a simple design, minimum of component parts;
the lure manufacture requires no complex technological equipment, expensive
materials, and minimum of process steps. Manufacturing the lures of different
sizes does not require retrofitting of equipment.
Embodiments of the invention are now described by way of example only

According to variant 2 (Fig.2, Fig.3), narrow and elongated holder 1 of the
streamlined shape being corresponding to the length of the lure, with hole 9 for the
fishing line, at least in the middle portion, is performed volumetric and narrow in
the cross section or flat in the vertical plane. Holder 1 has protrusions 10 at the
front and rear portions. The protrusions are performed transverse to the
longitudinal axis Y–Y of the holder, and they are arranged in the same vertical
plane with its longitudinal axis. Ends 11 of protrusions 10 can be diverged apart
(Fig.5), consolidated (Fig.4) or longitudinally expanded. The portions of
protrusions 10, which are arranged transverse to longitudinal axis Y–Y of holder 1,
are threaded with a gap into two holes 5 of longitudinally elongated plate 2 that
are performed in its front and rear portions on longitudinal axis Х–Х of plate 2
being also the axis of its symmetry. Plate 2 is arranged with its longitudinal axis
Х–Х lengthwise to holder 1. Holes 9 for attaching the fishing line are performed on
holder 1, and they are arranged above the longitudinal axis Х–Х of plate 2 over the
area between the nose and middle portions of plate 2; and wherein those holes are
offset rearwards relative to the center of gravity of the lure. The lateral portions of
plate 2 are symmetrically convex curved upwards relative to the longitudinal axis
Х–Х of plate 2, wherein plate 2 being performed with the possibility of rotation
around its longitudinal axis Х–Х in both directions and with the possibility of
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
approach of the raised lateral portions of plate 2, which is maximum turned to

axis of rotation of the plate and the longitudinal axis Y-Y of holder 1 without
reaching the mentioned vertical plane by the lateral portions.
The volumetric or flat portion of holder 1 can be made of metal or plastic,
and protrusions 10 of the holder may be performed separately as a shaft of wire or
in the form of flat projecting portions of the holder
Except for the hook at the tail portion, the vibrating lure can be additionally
equipped with at least one more another hook movably or fixedly attached to the
front portion of the lure, with the loops or holes for attaching the both hooks being

6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
In the both variants, elongated plate 2 may be executed either with an
extended front, middle or rear portion, or with flat nose edge 16 (Fig.7), or with
symmetrical cutout 17 in the nose edge (Fig. 8).
Bent plate 2 may have a curve of cylindrical, conical configuration, in the
form of facets or of combined form. Plate 2 may have a flat or flattened front
portion and a rear portion curved to a greater extent.
The holes of plate 2 may be performed in the tapered or longitudinal
recesses, which are additionally provided on plate 2 and protruded above the
surface of its back side, or at least one of the holes of plate 2 may be
symmetrically elongated transversely to the plate axis Х-Х of symmetry.
Load 3 may be arranged at the level of plate 2 or slightly above or below
that level. Load 3 can be performed protruding ahead of plate 2, or it at least
partially can be situated in a recess of the nose portion of the plate with a gap
providing the mobility of the plate, or the rear portion of the elongated load can be
positioned over the surface of plate 2.
Load 3 can be made with special sharpening or having roundness at its
bottom and front portion, or it has at least one downwardly projecting elastic barb,
or a hard barb directed forward or backward.
Hook 18 can be fitted with a fur or synthetic brush, or a silicone worm as
the additional attractions for the predators (not shown).
The vibrating lure operates as follows.
At casting, the vibrating lure is so oriented in space during the flight that
load 3, which is arranged in the nose portion, is pointed forward, and plate 2 that is
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
located behind load 3 and attached to longitudinal holder 1 not in two points, not
in one, flies longitudinally without creating any angle relative to a direction of the
countercurrent flow of air and hereby stabilizing the flight. Thus, while flying, the
vibrating lure has no flat portions inclined or fluttering planes that prevent or
destabilize the flight and also worsen its range. Using tail hook 18 with a brush, or
holder 1 with a flat cross section, or volumetric holder of a streamlined form
additionally stabilizes the flight of the vibrating lure under windy weather
conditions. Therefore, the construction provides good flight characteristics of the
vibrating lure and allows an operator to perform sharp casting. Throwing the
vibrating lure can be harsh and flatter and does not require any additional skills
and manipulations. When being in flight, the fishing line occurs above plate 2 and
is arranged along over it, and hook 18 is arranged under plate 2, below the fishing
line. Such an arrangement of hook 18 reduces the risk of knotting the line at
throwing and excludes knotting the fishing line over hook 18 of the vibrating lure
at its vertical deepening in the course of plumb baiting.
The lure position in the flow of water and impact of the forces onto the lure
during the motion are illustrated in Fig. 9.
Since the vibrating lure has got hole 9 or loop 8 for attaching the fishing line
above the surface of plate 2 at the area between the front edge and the middle
portion of the plate, and this point is offset rearwards from the center of gravity of
the lure, the vibrating lure, when it hangs on the line in the motionless state, is
lowered down, with the nose portion being directed downward.
At starting the movement, the front edge of plate 2 is recessed down, and its
rear edge is raised. At the moment of beginning the movement, plate 2 is turning
to the oncoming flow of water with its nose portion being deepened. In the course
of the movement, the longitudinal axis X-X of plate 2 is located at angle α to the
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
direction of the flow of water, which angle is usually less than the angle, at which
the lure is suspended in a stationary state, and the transverse axis Z-Z is
perpendicular to the direction of the flow of water, wherein plate 2 is turned to the
flow of water with its flat surface or with a surface having the lateral portions
being convex curved upward, and it is supported by the bent ends of the
protrusions of holder 1.
At the moment of beginning the movement, the impulsive force A, being
transmitted from the fishing line to the vibrating lure and directed obliquely, but
not horizontally, upward and toward the fisher, is applied to the point of the
attachment for the fishing line being arranged above the surface of plate 2 so that
the square of plate 2 before this point is less the square behind this point. At the
beginning of the vibrating lure motion, the oncoming flow of water affects the
plane of plate 2, which plane is downward inclined, resulting in occurrence of
force C at the front and rear portions of the vibrating lure in addition to the force
of gravity of load 3, wherein the force C being directed downward.
Since in the course of the vibrating lure motion the ratio of lure plate 2
portions before and behind the point for the fishing line attachment does not
change, the ratio of the components of the force C directed downward in the nose
and tail portions of the vibrating lure remains constant at any speed, therefore, the
angle α, under which the moving lure is inclined downward relative to the
direction of the flow of water, provides effective deepening of the lure while
changing the speed of movement.
At increasing the speed due to the existence of the force of resistance for the
vibrating lure and fishing line in the water, there is greatly increased the buoyancy
force D, but at the same time there are proportionally increased the components of
the deepening force applied to plate 2 in its front and rear portions. Accordingly,
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
even at a significant increase of the speed of the vibrating lure motion, it surfaces
continuing to move in the specified horizon. This function of deepening is
effective not so much as a result of the weight of load 3, but first of all, due to the
effect of deepening provided by plate 2.
Thus, the entire surface of plate 2, the dimensions of which are close to the
size of the entire vibrating lure, performs the function of the anti-wing, providing
effective deepening of the vibrating lure during its movement. This property is
crucial to use the vibrating lure at deep water trolling that is performed at high
speed fishing boat.
Since the transverse axis Z-Z vibrating spinners in its middle intermediate
position perpendicular to the oncoming flow of water in the motion of a vibrating
force spinners turbulence arising from the contact plane of the plate with a running
stream of water, make a plate in a state of unstable equilibrium, turn to one side
around its longitudinal axis X-X. Since the plate 2 is located in the water flow
from the longitudinal axis at an angle α relative to the water flow in the vertical
plane at an inclination to the side plate 2 is rotated around its longitudinal axis X-
X of the surface plate 2 continues downwards at an angle , allowing the
penetration of the vibrating spinners, and the transverse axis Z-Z of the plate 2
(Fig. 7 ) of the flow front positions in the horizontal plane into the position at an
angle to the flow in a horizontal plane.
Since transverse axis Z-Z of the vibrating lure in its middle and intermediate
position is perpendicular to the oncoming flow of water, in the course of the
vibrating lure motion, the turbulence forces, which arise from occurring the
contact of the plate plane with the oncoming flow of water, make the plate being
in a state of unstable equilibrium rotate to one of the sides round its longitudinal
axis X-X. Since plate 2 is arranged in the flow of water with its longitudinal axis
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
being at angle α relative to the flow of water in the vertical plane, when tilting
plate 2 aside with rotating around longitudinal axis X-X, a portion of plate 2
surface continues to occupy the position downwards at an angle, providing for
deepening of the vibrating lure, and transverse axis Z-Z of plate 2 (Fig. 7 ) moves
from the front positions relative to the flow in the horizontal plane into the
position arranged at an angle to the flow in the horizontal plane. Thus, the force of
the flow of water applied to the plane of turned plate 2 creates the lateral biasing
force that makes the vibrating lure deviate in the direction opposite to that whereto
there is turned the upper surface of plate 2. While operating vibrating lure, plate 2
rotates from side to side about its longitudinal axis X-X with sufficient frequency,
being stable, uniform, and rhythmic. Since plate 2 has dimensions substantially
corresponding to the size of the entire vibrating lure, the turns of plate 2 result in
creating perturbation of large volumes of water, so when moving, the vibrating
lure generates strong vibrations in the water of relatively low frequency, which are
distributed over long distances. Plate 2 starts vibrating immediately after
beginning of the movement, while the character of the vibrations varies depending
on the angle, at which longitudinal axis X-X of plate 2 is positioned relative to the
oncoming flow of water in the course of movement. The vibrations of plate 2 also
occur in the case of uniform and horizontal motion or the motion at a slight angle
downward, as well as in the case of its upward movement at any angle. The
oscillations of the vibrating lure, which gently descends to the bottom, arise when
working at a large angle of the nose portion inclination.
Since plate 2 is arranged substantially along the entire length of the
vibrating lure, the lateral biasing force is simultaneously applied to both its front
and rear portions, thereby vibrating lure shifts without wobbling from side to side,
likewise a wobbler, but it laterally shifts to both sides simultaneously with the
whole body, which fact provides creating strong and sharp oscillations that are
distributed over long distances. Since in the nose portion of the vibrating lure,
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
there is located load 3, the deviation of its rear portion occurs at a greater distance
from the axis of motion, in comparison with its front portion. Fig. 10 shows the
trajectory of the vibrating lure motion in the process of leading (top view), and
also the position of the vibrating lure at certain moments of its movement.
When using the vibrating lures with light load 3, the nose portion is
deflected with almost the same amplitude as the rear portion does. Thus, the
longitudinal axis of the vibrating lure with light load 3, while being deflected
sideways, deviates from the direction of its movement at a smaller angle. Such
deviations of the vibrating lure put in motion all its elements, including load 3,
holder 1 and hooks 18, wherein tail hook 18, even equipped with a fur brush or
silicone worm, wobbles from side to side further attracting predators by its
movement and vibration.
As in the course of the motion, plate 2 is rotating at high speed in each
direction either by its convex or concave surface, and also with opening and
covering holder 1, while moving, the vibrating lure being constantly overlapped
by plate 2 is flashing, and a predator can not even see it in clear water at the
surface.
The colored spots of different colors on the upper and lower surfaces, and
the shiny patches on the upper surface, and also holder 1 of contrasting colors well
visualize the lure in water and attract fish by fast flashing, which reminds a
moving fish. At moving, rotatable plate 2 hits about the protrusions of holder 1,
uttering a loud knocks, there are also knocks of the hooks being movably attached
to the vibrating lure. Because of the fact that fish is sound-sensitive, such a noise
additionally attracts predators.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
When performing holder 1 made of wire shaft, the deviation of the vibrating
lure sideways from its axis of motion is greater than in the case when holder 1 is
made volumetric or as a narrow plate.
The narrow and elongated holder 1 of streamlined form having a narrow
cross-section of a small square, or wherein the flat holder performs an additional
function of a stabilizer improving the flight characteristics of the vibrating lure
under windy conditions and also increases the strength of plate 2 vibration. The
vibrating lure without a volumetric or flat holder effectively works both with a flat
and curved plate, but a degree of bending in such an embodiment of the plate
should be small, even substantially smaller than in the lures with flat holder 1.
With a significant increase in the degree of curve for plate 2, the vibrating lure,
especially its tail (rear) portion, in the course of motion, more deviates from the
axis of motion than in the case with small degree of curving or at using flat plate 2
Thus on achieving a certain speed, at one of its end positions, plate 2 occurs with
its lower convex surface turned towards the oncoming flow of water, interrupts
oscillating, and remains clamped in this position, and gets stuck up to the moment
of a corresponding decrease in speed, then it again begins oscillating. At the
moment getting stuck, there is no any effect of deepening, and the vibrating lure
immediately surfaces up above the level of depth whereat it had been working
before getting stuck.
This special feature of operation of the vibrating lure equipped with holder
1 made of wire allows to perform the lure design that is characterized by the
intermittent effect of deepening. Controlling the effect of deepening is useful at
leading the vibrating lure directly along the bottom with uneven relief, pits and
dump, in the moments when the rectilinearly moving vibrating lure reaches the
portion with the rising level of the bottom and begins running across the front of
the obstacles arisen. In this case, a fisher pulls the fishing rod and accelerates the
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
movement of the vibrating lure, and it rises up bypassing the obstacles. Having
stopped pulling, the vibrating lure continues operating under normal conditions in
a higher layer of water. This feature is also used when applying a vibrating lure
equipped with a light load in shallow water, when the lure is led at the lowest
possible speed, and when, after touching the bottom, the lure is lifted into an upper
layer of water by pulling. In practice, it is advisable to choose such a degree of
plate 2 curve, whereat the vibrating lure moves with an effect of deepening at a
speed corresponding to the desired extremely high operating speed of leading.
When this speed is exceeded, for example, at sharp pulling, the deepening effect
disappears, and the vibrating lure, having slightly risen above the bottom,
continues operating at renewal of leading.
When equipped with a volumetric or flat holder 1 the deviations of the
vibrating lure from its axis of motion are reduced, but the strength of the
oscillations significantly increases, and plate 2 begins creating more aggressive
and sharp oscillations, in comparison with the wire holder 1. The amplitude of the
vibrating lure deviation from the direction of its motion, in this case, also provides
swinging of hooks 18 and load 3, forming a natural appearance of the vibrating
lure at moving. In this arrangement, plate 2 can have a much greater degree of
curve than design with wire holder 1, as in the course of motion, the vibrating lure
with volumetric or flat holder 1 is deviated sideways with a smaller amplitude than
the vibrating lure with wire holder 1. When using the volumetric holder, it should
have a narrow, that is, small relative to the cross-sectional width of the plate,
which is selected so that, during the motion of the lure in water, the volumetric
portion of the holder does not interfere with the free flow of water over the plate
surface in the course of the horizontal movement, and also when the lure moves in
the vertical plane.
Moreover, the holder should have a small height, and it should not have any
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
excessive resistance when being deviated sideways. In practice, the good results
have been shown by the holders of the height equal to about a half of the width of
the plate in its widest portion.
At vertical baiting as well as at plumb baiting while fishing, there can be
used the same vibrating lure that is applied for fishing in leading or trolling,
wherein the fishing line is attached to the front hole for attaching the fishing line,
which hole is the closest one to the center of gravity of the vibrating lure, so that
the vibrating lure, being in the freely suspended position, had a small angle of
inclination, as in such a position the vibrating lure has a minimal drag (frontal
resistance). In the initial position, the vibrating lure is located on the bottom
directly below the fisher or at some distance from the same because of its drift due
to the current or the drift of the boat. When pulling on the fishing line, the lifting
force is attached to the vibrating lure either vertically upward, or, in the presence
of current, at a certain angle.
After pulling on the fishing line, the nose portion of the vibrating lure raises
relative to its tail portion under the influence of the motion resistance force applied
to plate 2. Plate 2 in the course of the lure operation is based with its rear surface
on the bent ends of the protrusions of holder 1. Thus, plate 2 is located at an
obtuse angle to the direction of movement, preventing displacement in the vertical
plane and providing the movement at en angle.
Accordingly, at pulling on the fishing line upwards, the vibrating lure does
not rise vertically upwards, but it gently and at an angle moves in the direction,
towards which there is directed load 3 at pulling. At that moment, plate 2 is
rhythmically and uniformly rotating from side to side, thereby, the vibrating lure
does not move vertically at the vertical baiting, but when lifting, it also performs
movement along the bottom, in the course of which it generates oscillations.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
Having terminated pulling, the vibrating lure turns and moves to the starting
point, with its nose portion again lowering, and the vibrating lure moves at the
angle, at which it was at the state of rest before pulling, thus moving in the
opposite direction, and plate 2 performs soft vibrations continuing to attract a
predator. If driftage fishing is performed from a drifting boat, at pulling, the
vibrating lure moves in the direction of the boat motion, and having stopped
pulling, the lure, while oscillating, is gradually sinking to the bottom with
maintaining its attractiveness for a predator. In such a way, the vibrating lure
operates in reservoirs with significant current of water.
The claimed vibrating lure can be used in winter as in ice-free basin, so in
the open water for fishing in the wells. At plumb baiting from a drifting boat or in
the basins with fast current of water, it is necessary to use the vibrating lures with
weighted load 3.
Load 3 in this vibrating lure is necessary not so much for maintaining its
motion at a specified depth, like in spinners, as for casting, increasing the speed of
its deepening to the bottom immediately after casting and also for providing the
correct orientation of plate 2 in the space while leading. Therefore, the vibrating
lure having the same plate 2 can be equipped with load 3 of a large range of
weight. At the same time, the weighted load 3 is essential for preventing excessive
driftage of the vibrating lure with the flow of water when using it in plumb
baiting. Applying load 3, pointed in the front lowering portion suitable for those
vibrating lures, which are mainly used for trolling, because while being in contact
with a bottom, such load 3 would be studded with the bottom, making the tail
portion of the vibrating spinners climb up, and causing it to break away from the
bottom. Thus, the vibrating lure, when occurring on falling on shallow areas,
overcomes them without continuous drawing load 3 on the bottom.
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
Since in the process of operation the vibrating lure generates oscillations at
a very low speed of motion, and while moving at its operative position it is tilted
with its nose portion down, leading can be performed in such a way that the nose
portion with load 3 moved sliding right along the bottom, and the rest of the
portions of the vibrating lure, which are located in an elevated position, generated
oscillation of full value.
The usage of loads 3 with rounded front portions, as well as applying
thereon the fixed and downward directed elastic and rigid barbs, which can be
bent rearwards, makes it possible, at uniform leading, to lead the vibrating lure at
the bottom so that, in the process of slow leading, load 3 would be constantly in
contact with the bottom, sliding on it without any hard poking and bumps that
scare fish, and while being bent forward, a hard barb would be in contact with the
bottom and additionally signal about the contact with the bottom, which is
advisable when using a bleshnya when fishing by a method of trolling.
Using several points for the fishing line attachment performed with different
shifts relative to the center of gravity of the vibrating lure allows changing the
character of its oscillations in the course of its operation. Attaching of the fishing
line to the holder through the front hole being approximate to the center of gravity
of the vibrating lure can create small and soft vibrations.
With increasing the distance of the fishing line attachment point rearwards from
the center of gravity of the vibrating lure, there is increased the angle at which the
vibrating lure is arranged in the flow of water, and respectively, there is increased
the strength and sharpness of its oscillations in the course of the motion, and also
there is increased its drag.
Thus, in practice, the best deepening effect has been exposed by the lure at
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
the value of angle α within the range of 20 to 30 degrees. Also, at such an angle α,
the moving and vibrating lure has a slight drag, respectively, without causing
significant forces making the lure floating to the surface.
The strength and sharpness of the vibrating lure vibration increase with
increasing the value of angle α, at the same time, there is reduced the deepening
effect of such lures. In addition, the vibrating lure gradually puts down to the
bottom after having stopped leading and exposes the better organized oscillations
with increasing the values of angle α. Accordingly, fixing the fishing line into the
holes arranged far from the center of gravity of the lure is advisable to use when at
cast fishing with low speed of the lure at leading, evenly or step by step, with
pulling on the lure and subsequent deepening onto the bottom, or at leading the
lure at the lowest speed with sliding the load of the lure on the bottom of a basin.
To use the vibrating lure at plumb baiting, hole 9 or loop 8 for attaching the
fishing line, being the closest to the center of gravity, can be performed
horizontally elongated. In such a case, because of the resistance to the movement
exerted by plate 2, at pulling on the fishing line, the fastener of the fishing line
moves forward, which helps to improve the horizontal component of the vibrating
lure moving upward. When stopping the movement after turning, its weighted
nose portion moves forward and down, the vibrating lure angle increases, and the
lure starts oscillating more intensively when returning to the initial point.
Likewise, the vibrating lure with elongated hole 15 or the loop can be used when
leading at the bottom with periodic stops or steps. For the vibrating lure, which is
mainly intended for such a use, it is advisable to apply hole 9 for attaching the
fishing line as the most distant one from the center of gravity of the vibrating lure.
The degree and form of the curve influence on the nature of the oscillations.
So, flat or slightly curved plate 2 creates softer vibrations of greater frequency
6887324_1 (GHMatters) P96334.NZ DENISET
than a much curved plate. Using the faceted forms of the curve or the curve with a
middle longitudinal portion having the flattened lateral edges provides generating
of more sharp oscillations, respectively, using the plates with softly curved lateral
edges provides a soft play of the lure. The completely flat plates should be only
used in the design of the vibrating lure with a holder made of wire. The vibrating
lures with volumetric or flat holder 1 are worse run with completely flat plate 2,
requiring the achievement of a specified speed, while plate 2, even with a minimal
curve upwards, start working from the moment of the beginning of the movement.
A greater degree of plate 2 curve causes reducing of the oscillation
frequency and increasing the amplitude of the oscillation, preferably at fishing of
the certain types of predator. However, for the preferential use by trolling or
plumb baiting, it is expedient to apply the vibrating lures with moderately curved
plates 2. It is possible to use a combined curve with a flat or flattened front portion
and a curved rear portion of plate 2.
Using plates 2 with one or both horizontally elongated holes 5 allows the
vibrating lure to perform the additional vibrations during operation. Using the
vibrating lure having the additional tapered or elongated convex curves at the
places of executing the holes allows placing away the axis of rotation of plate 2
from its rear surface to create more intense vibrations and increase the angle of
rotation around the axis of the plate.
Using plate 2 with the extended front portion is preferably intended for the
vibrating lures designed for trolling and plumb baiting. Performing the nose edge
straight portion allows plate 2 closely come nearer load 3 at the nose portion,
mimicking the silhouette of fish, and the use of the nose edge with a cut allows to
place the main portion of load 3 within the general dimensions of plate 2, while
the vibrating plate 2 visually hides the presence of load 3.

Fitting the hook with a fur or synthetic brush or silicone worm to organize
the additional attraction for a predator increases their resistance to the movement
with reducing the angle of the longitudinal axis X-X of vibrating plate 2 for the
moving vibrating lure relative to the flow of water, which requires increasing the
angle of the nose portion at the stationary state.
In the process of leading the vibrating lure, these elements are oscillating
from side to side without hindering the generation of the vibrations.
Furthermore, the use of these elements reduces the amplitude of the lure
oscillations in the flow of water, which allows increasing the degree of convex
curving the plate in the case of the obligatory reducing the frequency of the lure
vibrations.
