A fishing tackle connector comprises first and second ends separated by a rigid elongated central member. The first and second ends are each wider than the central member and comprise respective through openings. At least one of the ends is angled with respect to the central member. The first end is adapted to secure a portion of terminal tackle such as a snap swivel. The second end is adapted to receive a fishing line. In some embodiments, the respective first and second end through openings are arranged such that both through openings face a front side of the fishing tackle connector. In others, first and second end through openings are arranged in a ninety degree relationship. In another embodiment, the second end comprises a widened stub portion. In another aspect, a fishing tackle connector assembly comprises the fishing tackle connector and a snap swivel.

Devices, systems, and methods for attaching a fishing line to a fishing implement. The device may comprise a housing comprising and upper portion and a lower portion. The device may comprise a cam pivotably disposed about the housing. The upper portion of the housing may comprise a cavity configured to receive the cam therein. The cam is configured to rotate within the cavity from an unlocked position to a locked position and from the locked position to the unlocked position.

A fishing lure system includes a first member including a first end and a second end. The first end includes a fishing line connector, and the second end includes a female connector. The fishing lure system further includes a second member including a first end and a second end. The first end includes a male connector that is removably engageable with the female connector of the first member, and the second end includes a fishing hook.

A flexible plastic fishing lure has an integral retainer that is configured proximal to a front end of the fishing lure and has at least one retainer barb. The integral retainer is a harder and tougher material than the plastic used in the body of the fishing lure and is configured to seat over the jig-head barb to prevent the flexible plastic fishing lure from sliding down along the jig-head. The integral retainer has at least one retainer barb that more effectively holds the flexible plastic to the integral retainer. The integral retainer may have extension tabs that extend out radially and in some cases extend out from the flexible plastic body. The integral retainer may also have an aperture that extend along the length of the integral retainer and may be used to inject the flexible plastic into a mold.

The present invention relates generally to fishing equipment, more specifically but not by way of limitation, a fishing lure apparatus that includes a first portion and a second portion wherein the fishing lure apparatus is configured to provide a first position and a second position for a fishing line secured thereto in order to facilitate release of the fishing lure apparatus on which it is snagged.

An exemplary jig fishing lure may include a hook, a head, and a propeller assembly. The hook may be connected to the head at a rear end of the head. The propeller assembly may be rotatably connected to a front end of the head. An exemplary method of making a jig fishing lure may include painting a head and a hook of the jig fishing lure such that an eye is unpainted and a collar is unpainted. After painting, a propeller assembly may be connected to the head by inserting a pin through a propeller and a washer into a front end of the head.
