A connector for a flexible fishing lure with an interchangeable swimbait is an apparatus used as a fastener for a modular fishing lure. The apparatus includes a lure body, a lure tail, a male connector, and a female connector. The lure body and the lure tail mirror the body and the tail of a live bait. The lure tail is made of soft-plastic material. The lure body is removably connected with the lure body with the male connector and the female connector. The male connector is integrated with the lure tail and the female connector is integrated with the lure body. Moreover, the lure tail is molded around a stabilizing frame and at least one panel of the male connector. The male connector latches with the female connector and is easily separated so that the lure tail may be interchanged.

A pivoting fishing jig is provided. The device includes a jig body having an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is pivotally affixed to the lower section at a first end of each of the upper section and the lower section. The jig body is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A first hook is affixed to a second end of the upper section. A connector is affixed to the first end of the lower section, wherein the connector is removably securable to a fishing line. In some embodiments, a notch is disposed along an interior surface of the lower section, wherein the notch is dimensioned to receive an interior edge of the upper section therein when the jig body is in the closed position.

An improved fishing lure with hanging blade is provided. The lure with hanging blade comprises a body with front hook and rear hook. Between the front hook and the rear hook, a blade hangs from the floating body. The blade is shaped to impart fish-attracting motion to the floating stickbait with hanging blade. The blade attaches to the body by a blade support pin. The blade, pin, body, and hooks are sized and positioned (i) to create fish attracting sound, and (ii) to avoid interfering with hookup with a fish. The blade can be shaped asymmetrically to impart an erratic fish-attracting motion to the floating stickbait with hanging blade as it is retrieved.
