One object is to provide a fish collecting device having a simple structure whereby free rotation of a propeller is prevented in casting, and the propeller can rotate freely under water. The propeller body is formed of one metal plate or an integral resin mold; a front end stopper and a rear end stopper are formed of bent or projected parts of the propeller body at the front end and rear end of the propeller body, and a rotary shaft, inserted through holes formed in the front end stopper and the rear end stopper, has a rotation restricting portion for contacting the propeller body. Free rotation of the propeller body in casting can be restricted by a simple structure wherein the rotation restricting portion contacts the propeller body and the rotary shaft engages with the propeller body such that the propeller body is unrotatable with respect to the rotary shaft.

A hollow-bodied frustoconical fishing bobber has a top section with a semi-spherical, concave top surface with a line aperture in the bottom of the semi-spherical top surface and a depending tube through which a fishing line may extend. Below the top section are two hollow semi-cylindrical halves with bottom walls that are joinable together and connectable to the bottom of the top section with the depending tube passing through and ending at the joinable bottom walls. A continuous helical fin in three sections is on the outer surface of the top section and two semi-cylindrical halves which causes the fishing bobber to spin about it radial axis. Weights are locating with the hollow body.

A fishing lure is manufactured by boring a hole through a granite stone body. A straight brass tube that is initially longer than the stone body is initially held in place inside of the hole, such that the axis of the hole and the axis of the brass tube are congruent, by a pair of rubber stoppers located at opposite ends of the hole. Before the second stopper is put into place, a curable liquid adhesive is poured into the annular space between the brass tube and the stone body. The second stopper is then secured to the brass tube at the opposite end of the stone body and he adhesive is allowed to cure. The protruding opposite ends of the brass tube are secured to a lathe, and the outside of the stone body is turned down on the lathe to the desired shape. After the lure body has been shaped and polished, one or both of the protruding ends of the brass tube is shortened to its finished length.

A spinning fishing lure comprising a winged plug body with a tapered rear portion having an exterior circumferential array of protruding vanes, and a larger substantially cylindrical hollow front portion with an open face and an annular interior volume. The annular interior volume includes a central hollow stem defining a passageway for fishing line and water, and the lower or bottom end of the annular interior volume is partially closed by a tapered interior end wall and vented out the back of the plug body by smaller flow passages.
