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 fishing lure for fishing in streams, rivers and lakes, comprising a body (1), a fishing line coupler (2) for connecting the body to a fishing line, a fishing hook (3), a fishing hook coupler (4) coupling the fishing hook (3) to the body (1), and a fishing hook receiver (5) mounted to the body such that the fishing hook (3) and the fishing hook receiver (5) are attracted to each other by way of magnetic attraction so that when in use, the fishing hook (3) is less prone to get caught by objects such as pebbles, rocks or tree branches, where most of the fishes tend to hide.

A fishing lure includes a jig having a body, a hook, and a blade attached to the body at two attachment points. The hook extends along a longitudinal axis of the body. A fixed wire loop extends from a forward end of the body along the longitudinal axis to directly connect the blade to the body. The blade has an edge near the body, a first attachment hole through the blade near the first edge, a second attachment hole aligned with and spaced near the first attachment hole, and a pair of line attachment holes spaced apart from the second attachment hole. The wire loop is fed directly through both the first and the second attachment holes, and the first edge is outside the wire loop. This arrangement controls the jig body's movement relative to the blade, reducing the likelihood of rollover that could lead to snagging.

A multi-hook fishing lure for use with soft bait comprising two or more hooks positioned on the same end of a lure body. The hooks comprise a single point and a double point hook. The single point hook is integrally formed with the lure body and lure wire. The double point hook is secured to the lure body by connection with an eyelet formed on a terminal end of the lure wire. The opposing end of the lure wire on the opposite end of the lure body is configured with an eyelet for attaching to a fishing line. Soft bait is secured to both the single and double point hooks for a secure, compact connection allowing the soft bait to flow and move providing the appearance of live bait.

A guard-equipped fishing hook 50 includes: a fishing hook 30; a guard 10 formed by bending a wire-like material in a V shape; and a base 20 fixed to a shank 30b of the fishing hook 30 and having a guard attachment hole 24 formed therein, the guard attachment hole 24 holding the guard 10 such that the guard is positioned in front of a hook tip 30a when an insertion end 10a as a bent end of the guard 10 is inserted into the guard attachment hole 24. The guard 10 is made of a superelastic alloy. The guard attachment hole 24 is formed so as to be gradually tapered from an opening 24a thereof to a deepest end thereof. A bending angle of the insertion end 10a of the guard 10 is larger than an opening angle of the guard attachment hole 24.

A fishing lure incorporating a flexible elastomeric body having an outer surface, having a rostral end, a caudal end, a dorsal end, a ventral end, a dextral side, and a sinistral side, wherein the outer surface sculpturally portrays a bait fish body; a hook point passageway positioned within the flexible elastomeric body and extending caudally from the body's rostral end; a cavity having a rostral end and having dextral and sinistral sides, the cavity ventrally underlying the hook point passageway; an intake channel communicating with the cavity and extending to the flexible elastomeric body's outer surface; and a first outlet channel communicating with the cavity and extending to the flexible elastomeric body's outer surface.

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.
