The next great fishing invention

bennygesserit · Aug 24, 2014

To start with a brilliant invention you need to solve a problem being very tall I have problems sitting in a chair all day propping a rolled up cushion behind me helps at work I have a chair with an inflatable cushion built in why not put the same into a fishing chair ?

Do you have any ideas for the next great invention , would it be the next clever claw or maybe the new hair rig ?

Here's something that would sell like hot cakes; a bait delivery system that could be cast long range like a spod or spomb but instead of depositing the bait in neat mounds, it actually spreads the bait over a 3ftx3ft area.
If the spread of bait can't be sprayed over as wide an area as that, then a 4-5ft line of bait would be fine.

An intelligent ledger weight (or line for the really futuristic) that indicates and records distance cast and depth of water, number of casts and duration of cast etc. Once up and running, this will confirm that fishing in 8ft of water at a range of 63 yards is optimal and that a bite should be expected after 47 minutes during June.

The bait submarine.

Disguised as a giant common carp with two internal chambers, one holding an arsenal of boilies and the other particles which are discharged via a self-loading torpedo tube concealed beneath the pectoral fins on either side and fired into position from ten yards away so as not disturb any fish around the hookbait.

All locked on by self programmed GPS coordinates for complete accuracy and genuine telescopic periscope for re-loading of bait into respective chamber without the necessity to dry dock.

A-herm...

weather it was a liner or a dropped bait!

A Spomb with a spring loaded plunger inside and locked using a PVA clip. Same principle for the bait dropper except the clip would need to be slower dissolving. This time next year we'll be millionaires Rodney

You do know that spods/spombs do this anyway? The bait doesnt drop like a brick. It kind of flutters down, spreading out as it falls. Unless the water is dead shallow of course, or it your using unchopped boilies.

During my working life I always dreamed of having a 'voice gun'.

I would point it at the recipient and speak my words into a small mouthpiece, "no we don't want your litter either"
or
"handle it gently, its a live fish not a brick"
and when I pulled the trigger the words would be spoken into the ear of the 'target' without anyone else hearing

Just think of the uses for such an invention...:wh

What about a double ended , adjustable , loop tyer so you get your hooklinks all the same length ?

Erm, . . . . . or a strip of wood, a few nails and a hammer?

Great idea, would be great to take to rugby to point out when I considered that the referee had made an error of judgement too!

I've never seen a spod even come close too spreading bait over a 9sq ft area or spraying its contents fairly evenly in a 4ft line.
Yes, the baits do flutter down at different rates and some particles do travel outwards, this is determined by density and shape but IMO 90% of most parti-mixes will land in a 1sq ft area, especially the case with these popular inclusions; hemp, pellets, wheat, pellets, tares, maple peas, chick peas and like you said unchopped boilies.

I agree. In still water dense baits such as hemp right up to boilies and pellets rarely spread out much as the sink. That's one of the reasons I aim my catapult in a high arc rather than straight at the target area.

The two internal chambers should be loaded with torpedoes carrying an explosive head for sinking bait boats

Accurate long distance voice projection using ultrasonics as the carrier very directional and already done and used in a number of places including the military ....

Yes, but as I'm sure you've found, catapults have a very limited range of effectiveness; 25 yards for hemp, 40 yards for pellets/boilies 12mm or smaller and 60 yards for 18mm+ pellets/boilies.

You need the new improved "Cluster Spomb."

CG it been done I invented it about 12 years ago

Sadly the photos were lost and the article corrupted somewhat when the site changed owners and platforms. See bottom of the article Spods with a twist.

Hi Colin, I could never understand the advantages of an explosive bait delivery system like the bait bomb as I imagined it would spook the fish, but (and I dont know if this is of any help) maybe if this was suspended above the hooklink or floated and made buoyant it should (in theory) provide a carpet feed over a much wider area.

made one cq74, Developed it in the mid nineties, tried and tested it on both the trent for barbel before the circus arrived-- took the place to the cleaners but only use it now when on my own.
Offerered it to drennan and a n o company but they wernt interested . Gud on stillwaters to o and better than a spomb.
In my garage now but hardly used now.
