The present invention relates to a transparent fishing umbrella rig for trolling and casting. The transparent fishing umbrella rig for trolling and casting includes a first and second arm. The transparent fishing umbrella can be used in a variety of environments and improves the angler's chance of successfully catching a fish by reducing the visibility of umbrella rig in contrast to the environment and water surrounding the umbrella rig. The transparent fishing rig is assembled by inserting the second arm into the first arm. Both the first arm and second arm have a plurality of lure line connections holes for the angler to connect lure lines and lures to the transparent fishing umbrella rig.

A sinker slider system comprising a slider through which a fishing line passes and an accessory to be coupled and uncoupled to the slider by a gliding motion through a slider glide track and a T track of the accessory. The gliding motion is stopped by releasing a spring-loaded member of the T track into an indent of the slider. The system may further comprise an accessory base for storing the accessory not in use. The accessory base may have a plurality of slots or sections, each of which may have a base glide track for coupling to the T track and a base indent.

A fishing system is disclosed. In one aspect, the fishing system includes a first fishing line segment terminating with a hook and a second fishing line segment terminating with a sinker. An attachment point can also be provided, wherein a first eyelet of the attachment point is slidably arranged on the first fishing line segment and a second eyelet of the attachment point is attached to the second fishing line segment. The fishing system can also include an immovable stopper attached to the first fishing line segment and a rigid or non-collapsing flexible tube spaced between the hook and the immovable stopper. In one aspect, the hook, stopper, and tube can move distally away from the first eyelet. The fishing system can also include a spherical ball spacer situated between the stopper and the first eyelet.

A fixed bar luring dredge comprising a high-strength core member tubular in form and assembled to hold a plurality of spreader bars extending through and attached to the core member in a fixed radial pattern with each spreader bar being disposed in a separate and distinct plane to enhance the strength and support of the spreader bar members in trolling. Each spreader bar is sized to pass transversely through a pair of opposed openings in the wall of the tubular core member and is secured therein with a respective crimp sleeve at each opening. Separate swivel fittings with rotatable sections formed to fit longitudinally within of the core member are positioned partially inside the chamber of the core member at opposite ends thereof, each of the swivel fittings having a respective transverse opening formed therein that serves to engage one of the spreader bars passing through the core member and thereby hold the respective swivel fitting in place. The spreader bars are each provided with a plurality of dropper fasteners fitted along the outer length of each bar for suspending a respective number of luring strips bearing selected baitfish images designed to attract game fish while trolling.

A multi-directional spreader bar assembly includes a specially formed rudder bird assembly attached to the center of a spreader bar member for trolling a plurality of lures from a fishing boat in a spread pattern. The rudder bird assembly includes a bird-like longitudinal body having an airfoil shape with fins on either side and a pair of diagonal crossing grooves centrally formed on the bottom of the body with a hole made therethrough that is off-centered from the longitudinal axis of the body and spaced apart from the crossing grooves. A rudder plate welded to a threaded stem is adapted to engage a selected one of the bottom grooves while the threaded stem extends through the off-centered hole and held in place under coaxial spring compression so that the rudder plate and stem may be released and reset into the alternate groove to switch the trolling direction of the assembly.
