Animated Lure – Bringing Fishing to Life

[wishin i was fishin]

So do we put this in the same class as the fish calling corks?

That just looks like it's asking to get caught up in itself.

If they can make it not get tangled up.... that would SMASH some big bass no doubt...

Well that wire/line looks like a shoelace so that's not gunna help, but it swims nice.

It might be in the group as the fish calling cork but if it didn't tangle up it sure looks like it would actually work!

yep, if it wasn't "tethered" to the cork at a set depth with a highly visible cord, it could be great. I think if they cut back the swimming action some so its not prone to circling the slack cord, it wouldn't have the risk of tangling up as much.

not sure why they couldn't put a small battery in the bait itself so it could be free lined or set at the depth "you" chose to set it.

having a computer "I assume" inside the cork to control it sounds like a recipe for a mess when the electronics get wet but I love the idea they are working on, they just need to find a way to "cut the cord" so to speak.

and speaking of the cord, how durable could such a thin wire be after being constantly twisted by the lure and pulled on by fish? I cant see it lasting very long and maybe need a new tether after every fishing trip and maybe only after one or two nice fish

I think creative editing was done as the clip cut off a few times as the bait swam right towards its tether.

swapping the treble hooks for straight hooks or just adding a little more weight to the lure so it "hangs" more from the tether would go a long way to preventing line snag ups too
