The invention claims a novel fishing lure comprising a segmented portion wherein the segmented portion is rigid. The invention also claims a novel wing feature comprising a rotating wing bar, a blade and a wing lock.

An apparatus and method for attracting fish is provided. The apparatus is an oblong flasher, comprised of a planar mid-section and planar ends. The plane of each end extends from an exclusive end of the mid-section. The plane of the mid-section and the planes of each end are different. The mid-section are partitioned into first and second layers. The first layer has a proximal and distal side and the second layer has a proximal and distal side. The proximal side of the first layer is releasably coupled axially along a length of the mid to the proximal side of the second layer. The first and second layers close flush to one another. The first layer and a second layer form a hollow compartment between them. The hollow compartment holds bait or scent. The hollow compartment can contain enough bait or scent to stay baited for at least 2 hours.

A fishing lure for attracting predatory fishes to a fishing line is disclosed. The fishing lure is designed as a spinnerbait capable of flashing, spinning and floating when drifted underwater for attracting the predatory fishes consistently. The fishing lure comprising a main body with a central axis and a plurality of components assembled on the central axis. The plurality of components includes blades, floats, beads, wedding band beads, hooks and dressings capable of flashing, spinning and floating underwater. The fishing lure further comprises a weighted body for withstanding water currents. Further, the fishing lure is capable of being utilized as a jig when used in one of a boat, an off a dock, shoreline and through ice.

A buzz bait lure includes a wire, and a blade disposed to rotate around the wire. The blade includes a propeller portion at one side of the blade; a front support portion; and a rear support portion positioned at a side closer to the propeller portion than the front support portion and having a third hole. The front or rear support portion includes a rising portion rising from a flat surface of the blade and having a first hole, and a folding portion having a second hole and folded from the rising portion to face the flat surface of the blade. The blade is supported on the wire at the front support portion and the rear support portion, and the wire is inserted into at least the first hole, the second hole, and the third hole.

A lure bait including an elongated body and at least one ventral hook. The elongated body includes a dorsal surface having a convex shape, a ventral surface opposite the dorsal surface having a concave shape, a distal end, and a proximal end. The proximal end includes an angled bill having a flat transverse surface extending from the dorsal surface to the ventral surface. The at least one ventral hook is connected to the ventral surface of the elongated body. The angled bill is angled such that when the elongated body is pulled from the proximal end along the surface of the water, the water exerts a force on the angled bill, thereby causing the distal end of the elongated body to rise relative to the proximal end and cause the proximal end to shield the at least one ventral hook from entanglements located in the water.

Generally, the invention disclosed herein relates to articles for catching and capturing fish. Embodiments of this invention may be used as baits to attract fish and entice them to take a hook. Optionally, the hook may be embedded inor otherwise attached tothe bait. Examples of this invention may be designed to resemble the appearance of naturally occurring fish species and may exhibit realistic or exaggerated movement when traveling through water. Some embodiments comprise tail portions designed to flutter by simultaneously moving along two axes of rotation. Fluttering may comprise lateralside-to-sidemotion along a vertical axis extending from the tail neck and rotational displacement along a horizontal axis extending from the center of the tail portion.
