A fishing system is disclosed. In one aspect, the fishing system includes a first fishing line segment terminating with a hook and a second fishing line segment terminating with a sinker. An attachment point can also be provided, wherein a first eyelet of the attachment point is slidably arranged on the first fishing line segment and a second eyelet of the attachment point is attached to the second fishing line segment. The fishing system can also include an immovable stopper attached to the first fishing line segment and a rigid or non-collapsing flexible tube spaced between the hook and the immovable stopper. In one aspect, the hook, stopper, and tube can move distally away from the first eyelet. The fishing system can also include a spherical ball spacer situated between the stopper and the first eyelet.

A slip sinker includes an elongated inner tubular weighted mass having a conical end for ease of threading a fishing line. Annularly disposed about the elongated inner tubular weighted mass is a casing shell that provides a level of buoyancy and which has a generally bulged, symmetrical, and cylindrical or oblong shape. The casing shell is a durable, buoyant, low-density element. The slip sinker has a shape and density which causes the sinker to be slow to sink, to land softly, to make less noise, and to avoid digging into bottom substrates. The disclosed slip sinker: does not easily tangle in weeds or other bottom substrates; starts to ascend immediately upon the line being tugged or reeled, such as to avoid dragging across the bottom of the body of water and/or catching on obstacles; and improves ease of casting, such as by allowing for improved control and farther casts.

One object is to provide a jig head including a sinker head and a hook readily replaceable with new one. A jig head includes: a sinker head including an eye to which a fishing line is to be attached; and a hook portion including a shank fixed on the sinker head at one end thereof, and a bend continuous to the other end of the shank and bent in a predetermined direction. The hook portion includes a wide portion widened to form a plane at the one end of the shank. The sinker head includes: an intermediate member having a hook engagement portion configured to be removably engaged with the wide portion; an intermediate member-receiving hole portion configured to receive therein the intermediate member; and an intermediate member-fixing means configured to removably fix the intermediate member in the intermediate member-receiving hole portion.

A fishing lure assembly includes a leader that has a first end and a second end. The first end forms a closed loop attachable to a fishing line. The leader extends through a first bead and a second bead such that the first and second beads are slidably positioned on the leader between the first and second ends. A wire has an upper end and a lower end. The wire is attached to and extends away from the leader. The upper and lower ends each are formed into closed hoops. The wire has a first twisted area adjacent to the upper end and a second twisted area adjacent to the second end. A hook is attached to the lower end and comprises a treble hook.

A fishing line weight that is configured to be releasably secured to a fishing line wherein the present invention is operable to employ organic materials having a mass sufficient to sink a bait assembly to a desired level in the water column or to the bottom. The present invention includes a bag member wherein the bag member includes opposing walls that are seamed along the perimeter edge thereof on three sides of the bag member to form an interior volume. The interior volume is of suitable size to accommodate rocks or other organic materials therein. The bag member includes an opening proximate the top end thereof providing access to the interior volume. The bag member can employ a closing member that is similar to a drawstring to provide opening and closing of the opening. A loop member or an aperture can be present to facilitate attachment to a fishing line.

The inventors disclose and teach herein a device that quickly and reliably attaches rigging to a fishing line, especially trolling lines. The device includes a spring-loaded clip with means for attaching additional accessories to the clip, such as weights. Accordingly, in the context of trolling, a trolling depth can be set and readjusted rapidly simply by clipping different weights onto the line. Moreover, the clip includes a side-opening for receiving a fishing line in compression between a spring-loaded plunger and anvil. The line is further secured by an embossed retainer blocking the line from slipping out from between the plunger and anvil.

A variety of fishing lure assembles are disclosed which can hold a live worm on a skewer or in a clamp. A powerbait and a standard lure embodiment are disclosed, wherein all embodiments can enable the hook to be several inches away from the bait. When the fish bites the bait and swims away, he drags the invention down to the hook and gets hooked. Many options are provided the fisherman to either lock the invention fast to the fishing line or provide for the sliding action.
