Northwest Fishing Reports

Looking for spoons and lures that are past their prime. So ones with rust, scratches, flaking/chipped paint.....you get the jist...ones in poor condition. I will also take stainless steel butter knives and spoons.

are you making lures with the knives and spoons? How do you model them?

I found ways others are using them as lures. They use the knife handles but i also have ideas on things to do with the blades.

Goodwill is your friend, if you are looking for butter knives and spoons. Usually about 25 cents each.

yep, and value village, but I found someone has an active patent on using kitchen spoons as lure bodies, still has 7 years left on the patent

Can you give me the US Patent Number. I'm interested in reading it. I work in the patent field.

here it is, https://www.google.com/patents/USD55776 ... 8Q6wEwBzhG

you would think someone could challenge it as not being novel

ya know, one thing I didnt notice was that it says "with improved tail", so I could basically make them as long as it didnt have the improved tail....hell I could put a decorated tail like with hair or feathers and patent it.....

are you looking to sell your creations? if not why worry about the patent.
