The present invention relates to an improved fishing lure having the ability to be camouflaged. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fishing lure having multiple catching devices with capacity for varying the bait and size of lures, having a built-in compartment adapted for the insertion of live bait or chum used in the attraction of fish.

A connector for a flexible fishing lure with an interchangeable swimbait is an apparatus used as a fastener for a modular fishing lure. The apparatus includes a lure body, a lure tail, a male connector, and a female connector. The lure body and the lure tail mirror the body and the tail of a live bait. The lure tail is made of soft-plastic material. The lure body is removably connected with the lure body with the male connector and the female connector. The male connector is integrated with the lure tail and the female connector is integrated with the lure body. Moreover, the lure tail is molded around a stabilizing frame and at least one panel of the male connector. The male connector latches with the female connector and is easily separated so that the lure tail may be interchanged.

A pivoting fishing jig is provided. The device includes a jig body having an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is pivotally affixed to the lower section at a first end of each of the upper section and the lower section. The jig body is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A first hook is affixed to a second end of the upper section. A connector is affixed to the first end of the lower section, wherein the connector is removably securable to a fishing line. In some embodiments, a notch is disposed along an interior surface of the lower section, wherein the notch is dimensioned to receive an interior edge of the upper section therein when the jig body is in the closed position.

A novel fishing lure that includes a component to secure bait to the hook and to reduce the likelihood of the bait falling off the hook during the course of a fishing activity. The lure includes a body, a hook and a bait securing arm that cooperate to secure the bait to the hook.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for enhanced fishing lure gyration are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a method for luring fish for ensnarement via inducing fish bait mobility, including: threading a fishing line in through an ingress opening of an anterior base portion of a buoyant fishing lure and out through an egress opening of a posterior base portion of the fishing lure, in which the fishing line traverses a channel connecting the ingress opening and the egress opening, in which the egress opening is to receive a base portion of a connector hook, in which the lure further has an asymmetrical curved blade portion extending peripherally outward from the anterior base portion of the central core portion, in which the asymmetrical curved blade portion includes: an anterior blade surface having a smooth texture configured to reduce fluid drag from water current, a posterior blade surface with integrated indentations, wherein the integrated indentations are to receive scented material to be affixed and positioned within recesses of the integrated indentations, in which the scented material is to be dissipated over an attached fishing bait posterior to the posterior blade surface as the fishing lure moves within a body of water, and an edge formed from an interface of the anterior blade surface and the posterior blade surface having a thickness configured to increase peripheral visibility; connecting the fishing line to accessories posterior to the posterior base portion, including one or more of: (i) fishing bait, (ii) floats, and (iii) ensnarement mechanisms including hooks; connecting the fishing line to one or more of: (i) fishing tackle including a bead chain swivel, and (ii) a fishing vessel located anteriorly to the anterior base portion; deploying the fishing lure having the threaded fishing line and connected accessories into a body of water; applying a force on the fishing line to induce movement of the fishing lure and the connected accessories within the body of water, in which the movement is induced by the asymmetric curved blade portion of the lure swiveling in an off-center rotating motion-counter motion of less than 360 degrees, in which the rotating motion-counter motion of the blade portion rotates the fishing line and the connected accessories in a combined rotating-oscillating motion; dissipating, pursuant to the movement of the fishing line, the scented material into the body of water; attracting, pursuant to the movement and the dissipating, fish in the body of water towards the fishing lure having the threaded fishing line and the connected accessories; and ensnaring the fish as they come into co

A fishing lure comprises a body having a front end and a rear end. A cavity is positioned towards the front end of the body, and the cavity has a longitudinal direction. A connection member is located at least partially in the cavity and retained thereto by one or more retaining members. Each retaining member is able to extend into the cavity to retain the connection member in the cavity in use. The connection member is able to move, in use, in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction.

Flasher fishing lures are disclosed that include a fin pivotably attached to a rear portion of the flasher. In a closed configuration, the fin may be secured within a fin recess to form a substantially flat, continuous surface with the rear portion of the flasher. And, in an open configuration, the fin may extend substantially perpendicular to the surface of the rear portion. Accordingly, a user may select a fin configuration that provides optimal side-to-side, tail kicking and/or spinning motion of the lure through the water when trolled at various speeds and in any number of fishing conditions.

A fishing lure having a body and at least one appendage. The fishing lure receives a hook attached to a fishing line. The bend of the hook engages a tendon or actuator such that force applied to the hook results in direct movement of the appendage(s) with resulting lifelike fishing lure action.

This invention is a way of making a cast-mold jig used in angling that allows the angler to change the weight of the jig by adding and removing weights to and from the jig. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate two different ways of making a cast-mold jig that can accommodate removable weights. The example implementations depicted by FIGS. 1 and 2 show the embodiments of Claim 1 specifically with arrow items 1, 2, 11, 13. All other arrows are for contextual purposes.
