A flexible fishing lure is provided that includes a outer shape having a transverse opening for receiving a plurality of alternatively formed lure fin members allowing a user to change the action of a lure by fin selection without replacing the lure. Multiple internal channels within the lure are adaptively provided for receiving a variety of scent sticks, sound generators, light generators, flavor generating means. Flow internal channels extend from a front opening to gill openings allowing a water flow along an inserted scent or flavor stick member to pass through the lure body and exit proximate fin, nair, belly, or other locations simulating an injured or wounded fish leaking bodily fluids or blood. Other features to simulate wounded features. Replacement fins and weighting constructions allow a user to tailor a weight and action enabling a circling or injured motion during retrieval. The lure includes a flexible holographic-type attractive film and physical shape having a level-maintaining physical shape.

A movable center-of-gravity tube comprising a tube body (41), a center-of-gravity body (42) accommodated inside the tube body and balls (43) held on the center-of-gravity body (42) is provided, in which the center-of-gravity body (42) has a slightly smaller diameter than the diameter of an inner surface of the tube body and comprises three or more rows of ball circulation grooves (44) on its outer surface in parallel with each other, in which the ball circulation grooves (44) accommodate the balls in a circulation manner, and each of which comprises two rows connected to each other, in such manner that the balls in one groove of the ball circulation grooves rotate and circulate in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the tube body, while the balls in another groove rotate and circulate in no contact with the inner circumferential surface of the tube body, when the center-of-gravity body moves.

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.

Adaptable fishing lure kits, systems, and devices are provided. An adaptable fishing lure system may include a fishing lure body, a replaceably attachable lure body member to the fishing lure body, via a slot formed within an outer periphery surface of the lure body, and a channel chamber longitudinally extending through and within at least a portion of a length of the fishing lure body. The slot providing access to the channel, at least one cartridge providing an attractant into the chamber formed within the fishing lure body. Alternative use of an adhesive and means for securing a fin member and attractant are provided.

A fishing lure that includes magnetizable, exchangeable plates on the dorsal and ventral surface of the lure. A magnet is provided within the lure body for releasable attraction of various plates to the top and bottom surface of the lure. The elongate body allows for placement of different plates within the single elongate body, thus changing the look of the lure.

Minnow traps suitable for trapping minnows may include a pair of spaced-apart, minnow-accessible side trap compartments. A minnow-accessible front trap compartment and a minnow-accessible rear trap compartment may be disposed between the side trap compartments. The front trap compartment and the rear trap compartment may be disposed in spaced-apart relationship to each other. At least one central bait compartment may be disposed between and communicate with the side trap compartments and between and communicate with the front trap compartment and the rear trap compartment. The at least one central bait compartment may be configured to contain a supply of bait.
