An article of manufacture for providing fishing equipment, and more specifically, an article of manufacture which provides a deflector that protects fishing lures from underwater obstacles is disclosed.

A flexible fishing lure is provided that includes a outer shape having a transverse opening for receiving a plurality of alternatively formed lure fin members allowing a user to change the action of a lure by fin selection without replacing the lure. Multiple internal channels within the lure are adaptively provided for receiving a variety of scent sticks, sound generators, light generators, flavor generating means. Flow internal channels extend from a front opening to gill openings allowing a water flow along an inserted scent or flavor stick member to pass through the lure body and exit proximate fin, nair, belly, or other locations simulating an injured or wounded fish leaking bodily fluids or blood. Other features to simulate wounded features. Replacement fins and weighting constructions allow a user to tailor a weight and action enabling a circling or injured motion during retrieval. The lure includes a flexible holographic-type attractive film and physical shape having a level-maintaining physical shape.

In a first embodiment, a fishing lure comprising, a body having a fish like design with a first end and second end and a groove distal to the second end incorporated into the body, a hook integrated into the first end of the body, a stem extending a predetermined distance from the second end of the body, wherein the stem is capped, a bead inserted onto the stem, a spinner blade having at least three openings, attached to the stem by a first opening, wherein the spinner blade can rotate 360 degrees about a center axis of the stem, and a line attachment secured through a second and third opening of the spinner blade.

A fish hook assembly that includes a substantially hemispherical or polyhedron head with an eye and a weed guard extending from the head. A round bead is in physical contact with at least the weed guard so that underwater obstructions that would normally get snagged on the eye and/or weed guard will roll away over the bead.

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.
