A directional guide for a spreader bar includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body and are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. Grooves are formed in the body. The grooves include a first groove extending along the longitudinal axis of the body, a second groove crossing the first groove and a third groove crossing the first groove. A keel is rotatably coupled to the body. The keel is configured to rotate between the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove. The keel is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.

A fishing lure made of soft yarn ball that had a hole through the center. The fibrous ball increases the holding power of scent oil. The ability to hold more scent oil means that it takes longer for the scent oil to work out of the ball and thus leaves a longer lasting and larger scent trail for game fish to hone in on. The scent ball is easily adaptable to any type of artificial lure rigging a fisherman chose to use. The soft yarn balls are made from materials used in fly tying. These fibrous products come in highly visible colors. Some even have UV responding dyes that fish respond to. As noted above, the center hole is a carbon fiber micro tube. It is this use of the micro tube that allows the yarn to be tied sufficiently tight to allow for extending holding of the scent oils.

Provided herein is a tippet line for fly fishing that is adapted to receive a bend of a hook, thereby eliminating the need for a knot. The tippet line includes a first end, a second end for attaching to a hook of a dropper fly, and an enlarged section adapted to receive a hook, wherein the enlarged section extends from the tippet line between the first end and the second end.

A storage container commonly referred to a tackle box, that detachably secures an elongate fishing lure, such as a tube fly or the like, within a chamber of a case using a mandrel for detachably engaging the lure and a mandrel anchor for detachably engaging the mandrel. In a disclosed embodiment, the mandrel anchor is formed of foam with slits received therein for receiving one or more mandrels. A distal end of each mandrel may include a clip for snugly engaging the lure to further hold the lure in place in the container.

An improved fishing lure which comprises a main body which has a baitwell. A body bore extends through the main body and is sized so as to permit a desired gauge of fishing line to pass therethrough while still having sufficient clearance, between an exterior surface of the fishing line and an inwardly facing surface of the body bore, to permit a desired flow of water through the bore and into the baitwell. A removable cover releasably seals an open end of the baitwell. The removable cover has a baitwell bore which is sized so as to permit the desired gauge of fishing line to pass therethrough while still having a sufficient clearance, between the exterior surface of the desired gauge of the fishing line and an inwardly facing surface of the baitwell bore, to permit a desired flow of water and bait therethrough into a surrounding environment.

A fishing lure. The fishing lure includes a flexible body having a first end opposite a second end. A support frame extends through the flexible body between the first end and the second end. The support frame includes a nylon mesh in a spiral configuration to provide additional structural support to the flexible body. The fishing lure is designed to mimic the natural movement of typical bait creatures.
