Methods for aligning a fishing hook to a fishing lure are disclosed herein. The fishing hook may be attached to the fishing lure either directly or with the use of a connector components. The fishing hook may be aligned such that the longitudinal axis of the hook is inline with or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fishing lure. The alignment may be secured via an encasing method, where the lure, connector components, and hook are secured by wrapping the connection mechanisms to limit movement of the hook relative to the lure. In other embodiments, the alignment may be secured via a woven method, where the connection mechanisms are secured by interweaving a rigid but pliable member through each connection mechanism component.

A fishing lure device includes a body assembly, a replaceable-sponge, at least one line-eyelet configured for affixing a fishing line to the fishing lure device, at least one hook-eyelet useful for affixing a fishing-hook to the fishing lure device, and at least one fishing-hook removably affixable to the at least one hook-eyelet. The body assembly includes a first-body-section, a second-body-section, where the first-body-section and the second-body-section are removably coupleable to one another, with the first-body-section and the second-body-section including a cavity when coupled to one another. The replaceable-sponge is insertable into the cavity created by the first-body section and the second-body-section. The replaceable-sponge includes a bright color and a scent to further improve the attraction of fish. The first-body-section and the second-body-section include markings which resemble a baitfish.

Lead-head jigs having a polymer keeper configured to retain a soft polymer body to the jig are disclosed therein. In one example, a lead-head jig includes a fish hook passing through a lead casting, and a polymer keeper tightly disposed around the fish hook between a head of the lead casting and a bend of the hook.

A fish and game device is disclosed. An example fish and game device includes a central tubing portion, an absorbent material provided around at least a portion of the central tubing portion, and a mesh material provided over the absorbent material. The mesh material retains the absorbent material adjacent the central tubing portion. A scent on the absorbent material may be released through the mesh material into a surrounding environment to attract fish or wildlife.
