An apparatus and methods relating to Diamondback Rattler tackle, a new type of lure that includes an audible generator (such as a rattle) attached to a bent blade. The audible generator has some freedom of movement relative to the blade, allowing various noise profiles to be produced depending upon the type of audible generator chosen and the degree of bend in the blade. The blade may also have various holes to secure it to a wire and to change its hydrodynamic profile.

A lure 10 includes the arm member 1 and the charm member 3. The arm member 1 includes a first arm part 11 having an elongated shape and a second arm part 12 connected to an end part of the first arm part 11 and extending in a direction not parallel to the first arm part 11. The charm member 3 is connected to the first arm part 11 via the connecting part 5. The charm member 3 is connected to the first arm part 11 to be rotatable around an axial center R1 connecting the connecting part and a center of the charm member 3 and to allow a rotation amount of the charm member to be regulated within a predetermined range.

A weighted and holographic plastic spinner blade comprises a plastic elliptical-shaped spinner blade having a body formed in plastic injection molding and, integral to the body, a printed label on a first side of body and a weight at an aft end of body. An ink or foil is hot stamped at a second side of the body to create a holographic image that is visible through the body and printed label, forming visual fish attractant properties. Method of manufacture includes: providing an elliptical-shaped mold; positioning a partially transparent printed label on a first side of mold; positioning a weight member in an aft end of the mold; injecting a polymer composition into the mold to form body; hot stamping foil on second side of the body, the ink or foil forming a holographic image; the holographic image visible through the at least partially transparent printed label and body.

Spinnerbait fishing lures equipped with one or more light sources interacting and/or interfacing with one or more polymer light transmission mediums are described herein. The light source optically coupled to the polymer light transmission medium acts to illuminate one or more areas of the spinnerbait lure to enhance the effect of the fishing lure to maintain its color, color pattern and iridescence.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a fishing lure is provided that includes a body having an opening to receive a fish and at least one hook connected to the body. The body includes capture portions having a spaced apart, open configuration that permits fish to be positioned in the opening of the body and a closer, closed configuration wherein the capture portions capture the fish in the opening of the body.
