The present invention is directed to a novel jig trailer fishing lure. This novel jig trailer lure has a rigid trailer member of differently weighted segments. During use regular oscillations of the trailer member keep the hook substantially upright whilst the entire jig trailer fishing lure simulates the look and movement and sound of a living prey fish, which a target predator fish is attracted to strike.

The present invention evidences an artificial shrimp lure constructed of a solid head and thorax region that is coupled to a jointed and segmented abdomen region comprised of tethered segments which closely mimic the natural curvature and inward curling exhibited by a fleeing shrimp, where the eyelet of an internalized hook is precisely at the weighted midpoint of the lure, dorsally, the hook shaft is internalized and the hook point projects upward and rearward facing above the lures head. The artificial shrimp lure is capable, through eyelet placement and weighting, of maintaining a largely horizontal orientation upon casting and descent and displays an inward curving of the jointed and segmented abdomen region upon retrieval and ascent.

A fish attracting device including a first rotating member configured to rotate about a first central axis in response to movement of the first rotating member relative to water, the first rotating member having at least one asymmetrical blade protrusion positioned to encourage rotation of the first rotating member relative to the water in response to the movement of the first rotating member relative to the water; and a second rotating member coupled to the first rotating member, the second rotating member being configured to rotate about a second central axis in response to movement of the second rotating member relative to the water, the second rotating member having an asymmetrical blade protrusion positioned to encourage rotation of the second rotating member relative to the water in response to the movement of the second rotating member relative to the water, the rotation of the second rotating member being substantially opposite the rotation of the first rotating member.

The invention provides a quick-attach system including a base locking mechanism and a mated lure connector mechanism, such as a plug and socket arrangement. For example, a socket (“female member”) component, adapted to be fixed to a fishing line and a set of one or more mated plug (“male member”) component that is integrated or attached to a lure or other piece of fishing gear. Likewise, the lure may include the socket/female member and the base attached to the fishing line may include the plug/male member.

The oscillating fishing lure is a fishing lure comprising: a body with a longitudinal axis, an uppermost surface, at least one hook, said first hook including a shank and a hook end, said shank being coupled to said body; a blade having an edge proximal to said body, wherein, during retrieval, a majority of said blade is oriented below said uppermost surface of said body; a joining mechanism whereby said blade is moveably coupled to said body, wherein said blade has freedom to move with respect to the roll, pitch and yaw axis only within strict mathematical limits; a line attachment mechanism, through which a fishing line is attached to the lure; and whereby retrieval of the lure causes the blade to oscillate in at least one dimension, and thereby causing the lure to erratically hunt. The oscillating-blade action imparts a natural swimming motion to the lure, emulating prey-species movements.

Various aspects disclosed relate to a fishing lure. The fishing lure includes a body portion having a longitudinal axis extending therethrough. The fishing lure further includes a tail portion and a jointed connection between the body portion and the tail portion. The body portion includes at least two biasing elements each extending from opposite sides of the body portion at an angle in a range of from about 30 degrees to about 65 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis. The at least two biasing elements are each configured to selectively contact opposed surfaces of the tail portion.
