A process where materials are applied to a plastic fishing lure surface, producing a lure that possesses chromatic vicissitude as a result of water temperature fluctuations. A non-thermochromatic base layer of one or more colors is applied to the plastic fishing lure. This layer acts as the visual appearance of the fishing lure in the absence of temperature fluctuations. Clear extender is then used as an additive to the thermochromatic ink. This addition to the ink then allows the ink to be sprayed onto the surface of the lure. This ink-extender amalgam can be applied in multiple layers however the bottom layer must have the least amount of hue saturation. Each layer thereafter would increase in hue saturation. Multiple hue combinations can be utilized. Once the desired number of thermochromatic layers has been applied, an ultra-clear super high gloss lacquer finish is sprayed on to the exterior of all layers.

A submersible lantern is anchored to the sea floor and kept upright by a float and a countersink weight. The lantern emits multiple patterns of green and white light at specific frequencies and intensities that repel catfish while causing shrimp to surface. The lantern has an elongated body, and includes a float and weight to vertically orient the lantern underwater so that it emits light 360 degrees around the lantern body. A push button switch along with a PCB board cycles the lights and power level to the lights based on the particular application. A wireless circuit is used for remote operation via a mobile phone or other wireless device. The lantern can be used both in the sea and on land, and includes a two-part power connector to connect to various conventional power sources.

A fishing weight for use on a fishing line submerged in water is disclosed. The fishing weight consists of a hollow body having opposite first and second ends, walls and a hollow interior. At least one aperture is formed on the walls to permit the water to pass through the aperture and through the hollow interior. The first end is closed off apart from a small opening dimensioned to receive the fishing line and the second end has a larger opening which can be closed off by a cap configured to permit the fishing line to pass through. The hollow interior can hold an attractant, the attractant being selected from the group of attractants comprising rattle beads, bubble generators and scent releasers.

An artificial fishing lure has a lure body and a hollow sleeve. The hollow sleeve has a front end and an opening. The opening is extendable over an end of the lure body in response to the sleeve being removably mounted over the end of the lure body using the opening. At least one hole through the sleeve is disposed at a location that allows communication between an interior of the sleeve and an environment exterior to the sleeve.

A self-movable artificial bait fish and to a method for controlling a self-movable artificial bait fish are disclosed. The self-movable artificial bait fish (1) comprises control means, a tail-end drive (330) and a head-end drive (340). The control means comprise at least one fastening means (130, 130′) for fastening a connecting line (10) to an angler (2), and the position of a fastening point (230) on the fastening means (130, 130′) in the direction of movement y can be arranged in the region from the rear extremity at the tail end (5) to a position behind the position of the drive point (220).

A bait sleeve for securing a bait therein is disclosed. The bait sleeve includes a sleeve including a first end, and a second stretchable end opposite the first end. The second stretchable end defines an opening into the sleeve, wherein the second stretchable end is stretchable between an open state to receive the bait within the sleeve and a substantially closed state to secure the bait within the sleeve. The bait sleeve also includes a shape-defining frame connected to the sleeve, the shape-defining frame extending between the first end and the second stretchable end. The bait sleeve also includes at least one fishing hook. Advantageously, the frame prevents excessive compression of the bait by the sleeve.
