An artificial fishing lure, and a method of constructing the same, the method including providing a mold configured to form the fishing lure, injecting at least a partially liquified first polymer heated to a first temperature into the mold, injecting at least a partially liquified second polymer heated to a second temperature into the mold, and allowing the at least partially liquified first and second polymers to harden.

An artificial fishing lure, and a method of constructing the same, the fishing lure including a translucent polymer body, and a separately formed insert member at least partially embedded in the polymer body, the insert member being less translucent that the polymer body and formed to mimic a physical trauma in the fishing lure.

An interchangeable snap on fishing lure and clasp. The clasp is molded in the lure body which snaps onto the hook. The clasp configuration saves the plastic lure from damage caused by piercing it with the hook. This greatly improves the life span of the plastic lures. It also makes changing the type or color of one's lure extremely fast and efficient.

An artificial bait material for use in a simulated bait assembly. The artificial bait material includes a body that is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) such as PLASTISOL. In addition, the artificial bait material include a thread component having a first portion that is formed within the body of the artificial bait material, and a second portion that extends out of and away from the body. In this configuration, for example, the material can be used to form a fly lure by tying the second portion of the thread component directly to the hook or barb of the lure with fly tying thread, without having to wrap either thread around the body of the artificial bait material. As a result, the fly tying thread can be tightly tied to the hook or barb without risk of cutting through the body of the artificial bait material.

A fishing system includes a submersible fishing implement for being received in a body of water and configured for capturing one or more fish. An implement driver is configured to drive movement of the submersible fishing implement through the body of water. A data collection system includes one or more sensors for sensing one or more fishing parameters and transmitting a fishing parameter signal representative of the one or more fishing parameters. A controller is operatively connected to the data collection system to receive the fishing parameter signal and to determine based on the fishing parameter signal a selected fishing location. The controller is further configured to transmit a navigation signal to the implement driver operative to control the implement driver to drive movement of the submersible fishing implement toward the selected fishing location.
