ASP LURE

Abstract

The present asp lure relates to recreational and sport fishing and is intended for catching a fish at the surface of the water, and can also be used for other methods of fishing. The technical problem solved by the utility model consists in creating a lure design that allows the lure to move at the surface of the water during fishing. This problem is solved by an asp lure comprising a metal body having a streamlined shape and provided with apertures that allow for fastening a fishing line and a hook, wherein the lure body is provided with a plate disposed in the upper part of the lure, and the apertures are disposed below the plate at opposite ends.

Claims

1. An asp lure, comprising a streamlined metal body provided with holes for attaching a fishing line and a hook, characterized in that the body of said lure is provided with a petal located in the upper part thereof, while the holes are located under the petal on the opposite sides.

Description

[0005] The technical solution is illustrated by the drawings, where FIG. 1 shows the front view, FIG. 2 shows the side view, and FIG. 3 shows the perspective view of the lure. FIG. 4 shows the lure position during movement. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 (front projection of the lure) also show the center of gravity (F.sub.gra) and center of buoyancy (F.sub.buo).

[0006] FIG. 1 shows lure body (1), petal (2), and front hole (3). FIGS. 2 and 3 show lure body (1), petal (2), and front (3) and rear (4) holes, respectively. FIG. 4 shows lure body (1), petal (2), front hole (3), rear hole (4), fishing line (5), hook (6), split rings (7), as well as center of gravity (F.sub.gra) and center of buoyancy (F.sub.buo).

[0007] Structurally, the device consists of the following components: streamlined lure body (1) with an integral component (2) embodied in the form of a petal located in the upper part of the lure perpendicular thereto, acting as a fin, and two holes located in the front (3) and rear (4) parts of the lure intended for attaching a fishing line (5) and hook (6), respectively, via split rings (7).

[0008] The lure functions as follows. During fishing, the lure movement is enabled by tensioning fishing line (5) connected to front hole (3) of lure (1) via split ring (7). Petal (2) located on top of the lure, due to its location above the point (7) of attachment of the fishing line, acts as a unique fin (similar to that on a children's kite), which allows the lure to rise to the very surface of the water in the oncoming water flow (FIG. 4). This further results from the fact that due to the top position of the petal, the center of buoyancy is located above the center of gravity at a sufficient vertical distance therefrom, thus, creating a moment of forces stabilizing the lure in the horizontal plane during its movement (FIG. 5). This is further assisted by hook (6), the weight of which is applied to hole (4) via split ring (7) located below petal (2), which creates an additional stabilizing moment.
