Smart overview of the Invention

The Steinbeck Smart Lure is a groundbreaking fishing lure that mimics the movements of various aquatic animals while capturing live footage of fish interactions. This innovative device is designed with advanced mechanisms that allow it to swim, bend, and move realistically in water, featuring vibrant colors and excellent articulation. Its unique design incorporates a propeller and an independent battery for automatic swimming functionality, along with waterproof components to ensure durability and longevity.

Limitations of Current Fishing Lures

While electric lures have been used to attract fish, existing designs have not evolved significantly over the years. Many current products lack modern features that enhance their performance and durability. There is a clear gap in the market for fishing lures that are realistic, long-lasting, and equipped with improved battery life, making it difficult for anglers to find effective solutions to enhance their fishing experiences.

Key Features of the Smart Lure

  • Self-swimming functionality powered by an electric motor.
  • Built-in camera that allows users to observe fish interactions in real-time.
  • Flexible spine designed as both a mechanical conduit for movement and an electrical communication path.
  • GPS feature for locating the lure if lost.

Design Variations

The Smart Lure is available in various animal models, including a lizard, snake, frog, crawfish, and duckling. Each model incorporates a controller circuit, battery, GPS, fish finder, and camera, all working together to simulate lifelike movements. The spine of the lure is engineered to facilitate flexion wave motion while housing the necessary electrical wiring for communication between components.

User Experience Enhancement

This innovative fishing lure not only increases catch rates but also enriches the overall fishing experience by allowing users to connect their lures to smartphones via a mobile app. Users can watch live footage of fish attacking the bait, providing an engaging and interactive fishing adventure. The Steinbeck Smart Lure combines advanced technology with practical functionality, ensuring a more enjoyable and productive outing for anglers.
