Abstract:
1. A fishing lure module comprising: a waterproof pod removably insertable within a lure body, where the pod has an interior space and an exterior surface; a switching means, housed within the interior space, for switching the pod between an activated state and a de-activated state; a memory chip, having bait creature sounds stored thereon, connected to the switching means; a speaker connected to the memory chip; a water sensing switch connected to the memory chip and a rechargeable battery where the water sensing switch toggles between an on position and an off position; a set of sensing elements connected to the water sensing switch where the set of elements are mounted on the exterior surface; a pickup coil connected to the rechargeable battery; a motor connected to the battery and the water sensing switch, where a rotary shaft extends from the motor and is adjacent a pivoting block; a paddle connected to the pivoting block and extending from the interior space through the exterior surface; where the switching means, the memory chip, the speaker, the water sensing switch, the rechargeable battery, the pickup coil, and the motor are operatively connected within an electric circuit and sealed in the interior space; whereby when the fishing lure module is deployed in water, the water sensing switch moves to the on position and whereby when the fishing lure module is removed from water, the water sensing switch moves to the off position; and whereby when the water sensing switch is in the on position and the switching means toggles the pod to the activated state, the bait creature sounds are broadcast from the speaker and the pivoting block imparts motion to the paddle.
