ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a fishing lure capable of emitting tones of a single predetermined frequency, plural predetermined frequencies or to sweep through plural frequencies in a predetermined frequency band. This is accomplished by providing a fishing lure in the shape of a worm, small fish, insect or the like having contained therein, in a water tight compartment, within which are disposed an integrated circuit which drives a piezo electric transducer, passive circuit elements coupled to the integrated circuit to control the frequency of the signal output therefrom for providing appropriate signals to the piezoelectric or piezoceramic device for emitting a predetermined frequency or frequencies as noted above therefrom and a battery for powering the circuit. The fishing lure also contains the piezo electric device either in the water tight compartment or external thereof. The fishing lure is also supplied with a hook or hooks depending therefrom as well as a sinker element, if necessary. The fishing lure of the present invention is therefor capable of driving the piezo electric transducer such that it emits a predetermined signal frequency tone or a predetermined group of frequencies within a desired frequency band for the type of fish of interest. With present day circuits it is possible to provide frequencies up to about 100 kilohertz and provide quite clear tones, thus targeting each species of fish as to its tone preference. The tones generally utilized will fall below 20 kilohertz.
