Disclosed is a technology designed to prevent obstacles from getting caught in a fishing needle by covering the fishing needle using a weedless guard, and more particularly, to a weedless fishing needle including: needle covers in which wires formed of a plasticity material and having one fixed end are arranged to be expanded at a predetermined angle; and a fixture integrally formed with the fixed end of the needle covers and coupled to a fishing needle neck, wherein the fixture is coupled to the fishing needle neck of the fishing needle so as to be detachably inserted into the fishing needle neck, in which the fixture is formed of a flexible material and has a tubular or O-ring shape, and the needle cover includes needle covers arranged side by side, and is disposed to cover a periphery of a hook of the fishing needle.

A bait having a frame, a hook and a blade that spins when the bait is retrieved in the water. The spinning blade contacts a housing containing one or more balls. The contact causes the balls to contact each other and/or the housing to create noise and vibration to attract fish.

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.

A fishing lure device and method of use are disclosed. The device may be a jig. The jig may include a head, a hook, a weed guard, and an optional skirt. The weed guard may include a skirt collar or other feature or component which may include a shoulder and may optionally allow for flexion of the skirt collar or of the weed guard. The weed guard may include an elongated element, such as a plastic or metal filament. The weed guard may include a bait retention feature, such as a hook, a barb, or a helix. The weed guard may resist flexion or rotation into an area defined by the hook, such that the combination of the weed guard and bait placed upon it may obstruct weeds from getting caught on the hook, while allowing a predator with sufficient force to become caught on the hook.

An artificial bait fish is fabricated from a soft plastic body formed in the shape of a fish and having an embedded blade made from aluminum or other suitable material. The bait fish is fabricated using a overmolding process in which the embedded blade includes a colored portion on at least one surface to provide visibility. The artificial bait fish includes features that permit use with various fishing rigs.

Adaptable fishing lure kits, systems, and devices are provided. An adaptable fishing lure system may include a fishing lure body, a replaceably attachable lure body member to the fishing lure body, via a slot formed within an outer periphery surface of the lure body, and a channel chamber longitudinally extending through and within at least a portion of a length of the fishing lure body. The slot providing access to the channel, at least one cartridge providing an attractant into the chamber formed within the fishing lure body. Alternative use of an adhesive and means for securing a fin member and attractant are provided.
