Patent Pending
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2014 11:28 pm
62080595 is my patent pending number for a new fishing spoon with a reinforced outer perimeter.
This only was made possible with jimc's design work with my tweaks to get the lure action
topnotch. This is a huge leap forward and I have a year to file for a full utility patent.
Cost to do this was around a grand with a web based company, thoughtstopaper.com
Could have be done a little cheaper, but I selected their all inclusive pro package where
they handled the drawing and engineer geek-speak language to file.
Printed out my first spoons in May of this year, 6 month later after exhaustive water trials
with at least 5 different versions with sub tweaks, came up the winning combination.
The only way this spoon could be perfected was thru 3D printing where several sizes and geometry
to fine tune the design. I have 2 injection twin cavity molds being made, one with a 4.0" spoon and another with a 4.65".
This new concept in a fishing spoon will debut on my websites around this Thanksgiving and
just had to share this project with the member's here, who's advice brought me up to speed.
ABS was my first attempt, too brittle, pulled the eyelet hole on 3 spoons and never landed a fish.
Once again, Mr. jimc needs another thank you for recommending PET+ and settings for my 3vb hotend.
Spoons got stronger and started catching, then it was up to underwater videoing to make final checks
on the movement-action of the lure/spoons. I will post links to 2 of my soon to debut YouTube videos
where it's proven beyond any shadow of doubt these spoons are the reel deal!
