The present invention relates to a modular chambered fishing lure having an internal spool for providing compact storage for an extendable leader; weighted elements removably attached along various portions of the lure body for providing a desired motion, orientation, and depth in the water; and a plurality of interchangeable tail components to provide a variety of different lure types.

The present invention relates in general to fishing lures, and more specifically, to an expanding or contracting fishing lure that provides a natural movement that mimics live bait. The fishing lure is configured so that when the fishing lure is retrieved (e.g., reeled in) or jigged by an angler, or the fishing line is pulled or twitched, the fishing lure transitions from a first position to a second position and then returns to the first position. The purpose of the invention is to provide a fishing lure that will successfully attract fish by displaying a unique action in the water.

Disclosed herein are embodiments directed to a soft-bodied fishing lure which extends a fish hook when a fish bites on a back region of the lure. In its default or natural resting position, the soft-bodied fishing lure keeps the hook in a retracted state to prevent or otherwise substantially reduce the frequency of the hook becoming snagged on weeds, algae, and matted vegetation when the lure is being fished. In some embodiments, the hook may be secured to the soil-bodied fishing lure in a substantially vertical orientation by a set of nylon plastic members that were previously molded with the soft-body material of the lure. These nylon plastic members, which advantageously do not rust or exhibit the same sharp edging as metallic components, restrict motion of the hook in undesirable directions so as to substantially prevent engagement of the hook with the soft-body material of the lure.

A fishing lure with an adjustable geometry that can be adjusted as desired by a fisherman. The variably adjustable geometry enables the fisherman to vary and control the spin of the lure, as well as the depth of the lure during trolling. In addition, the adjustable geometry enables the fisherman to orient the lure such that it behaves in a manner similar to a wounded or injured fish, thereby attracting predator fish.

A spring actuated weedless fishing lure increases the chances of successfully catching a fish without entangling a hook on plant material. A weedless guard system prevents the hook from catching on weeds and compresses a spring to hold the spring and hook in a retracted position. When a fish strikes, the weedless guard system is released allowing the spring to expand and push the hook in a longitudinal direction to an expanded position away from other parts of the lure. This expanded position provides a greater area for the fish's mouth to engage with the hook without interference from other parts of the lure. The expanded position also allows the hooks to embed closer to the front of a fish's mouth and reduces the risk of the fish swallowing the whole lure.
