A fishing lure with a head made of a hard plastic, a formed wire partially embedded in the head, wherein the wire is formed to have one or two adjacent loops in the front of the head, a loop at the top of the head, and a loop at the bottom of the head, a cavity in the rear portion of the head, a screw projecting out from the front wall of the cavity, and a soft plastic body that is configured to be attached to the head by screwing the body onto the screw. The front of the body fits into the cavity in the head. The body has a projecting male end at its front that presents a stub that is configured to be coupled to the screw, to attach the body to the head.

A fishing lure may include a body and a removable lip, which may be removed manually without the use of tools by pressing on portions of the body to release a catch between the removable lip and the body.

Soft bait lures emulating a fish are provided. The lure can provide at least one channel within at least one of the exterior surfaces of the tail. Methods for manufacturing a soft bait fishing lure are also provided. The methods can include removing one or more portions of one or more exterior surfaces of the tail to define one or more channels within the one or more surfaces of the tail. Methods for luring fish using a soft bait fishing lure are also provided. The methods can include channeling at least some of the water through one or more channels within the surface of the tail of the fishing lure.

A fishing lure system includes a link and link enclosure and a variety of attachments. The enclosure includes a channel dimensioned to snugly fit over the link and defined by walls of a rigid material such as to resist deformation of the link when the link is under stress (e.g., a pulling fish). The link may be attached to a spinnerbait frame that is constructed of a specially looped elongated component (e.g., wire) forming two legs at roughly 90 degrees to each other. The frame and loop are formed through a series of wire bends that support the 90 degree angle against deformation when the frame is under stress. The link may be attached to a swimbait body constructed with a cavity within which the lure’s hook is substantially concealed. The link or frame may be attached to a spinnerbait blade comprising an outer blade encapsulating and inner feature.

A blade body of a fishing lure comprises a first protruding side and a second protruding side, creating a gap, and a jig body connected to the blade body such that when the blade body and jig body are connected and pulled through water, the blade body moves in a side to side motion limited by contact between the jig body and the first and second protruding sides.

The fishing lure includes a head with a bell-shaped tip that collects water as the lure moves. The water is directed through channels, creating cavitation bubbles at the channel outlets. The body houses the electronics and weights. The body includes holes in the form of mock gills that allow water to enter. The water activates the electronics, causing the light to begin pulsing. The electronics include batteries and a light source—preferably an LED—with associated circuit board, within a waterproof shell or cover. In the preferred embodiment, a switch protrudes from the waterproof shell, the switch activated by water. The body also includes internal weights, the internal weights moving within channels within the body. The internal weights knock against each other within the channels, creating a clacking sound.
