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.

It is well known that light attracts fish at night, and that any artificial fishing light attractor is preferably submersible to avoid significant amounts of light being reflected off the surface of the water. Single-use glow sticks are known to be used as submersible fishing light attractors; however, these cannot be turned off, can be used only once, and are often of relatively low intensity. The present invention provides a powered light source with an intensity higher than conventional glow sticks that may be attached to fishing lines. To achieve this, the light source is configured such that, when the light source is placed at depth, external water pressure acts to increase sealing against ingress of water.

A sensor assembly for a castable lure is provided including a pressure sensor configured to measure a water pressure applied to the castable lure when deployed in an underwater environment, a processor, and a memory including computer program code. The computer program code configured to, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to receive pressure data from the pressure sensor, correlate the pressure data with time stamp data, cause the pressure data and correlated time stamp data to be stored in the memory, determine a data connection status between a transceiver and a marine electronic device, and in response to determining that a data connection exists, cause the pressure data and the correlated time stamp data to be transmitted to the marine electronic device. The pressure data and correlated pressure data correspond to a depth profile for a cast of the castable lure.

A lure 1A of the present invention has a body 2 and a lip part 3 projecting from the body 2, and the lip part 3 is provided with a hologram sheet 4. As the hologram sheet 4 of the lure 1A reflects light while the hue IA dives and swims in water, a target fish is easily attracted by the lure 1A.

The present invention is directed to a novel jig trailer fishing lure. This novel jig trailer lure has a rigid trailer member of differently weighted segments. During use regular oscillations of the trailer member keep the hook substantially upright whilst the entire jig trailer fishing lure simulates the look and movement and sound of a living prey fish, which a target predator fish is attracted to strike.

A fish oil scent trail dispenser system to create a scent trail to a user's bait when fishing in fresh water and salt water. A kit containing one or more scent dispensers includes a fill tube that can be used to insert the user's favorite scent into the scent dispenser quickly and easily. The scent dispenser includes a main container with a refillable reservoir and a thin dispenser tube. An attachment tube is bound to the main container by a wrapper. The scent dispenser system includes an attachment line with a clip on each end to attach the system to the main fishing line, and a bumper bead to control the position of the scent dispenser on the attachment line.
