Patent ID: 7207135

Claim:
An audio fishing lure system for attracting a target fish species in a surrounding water environment comprising: a fishing pole terminating at an outer end with a tubular waveguide extending from said outer end; an encoder operatively coupled to said waveguide; a fishing line extending through said waveguide with an outer end disposed in the water environment; audio modulation means operatively associated with said encoder for transferring sound pressure waves to said fishing line at said waveguide; an audio source electrically coupled to said encoder providing user selected audio content to said audio modulation means and transmitting mechanical vibrations in accordance with said audio content to said fishing line at said waveguide wherein said audio content is an audio recording of a bait species having an attractiveness to the target fish species; a transducer fixedly connected to said outer end of said fishing line for receiving said vibrations and outputting an audio transmission replicating audio recording of said bait species whereby said vibrations are transmitted by said fishing line and converted to audio pressure waves replicating said audio recording of said bait species and emitted into the surrounding water environment; and hook means connected to said transducer for capturing a target fish attracted to said audio recording.
