A fishing flasher device which is configured to be attached to a main fishing line to be drawn through the water, generally by trolling behind a slowly moving water vessel. The flasher device has an on-axis mainline attachment on the forward end to produce a spinning or rotational movement about the axis of the mainline. The flasher device also has at least one off-axis mainline attachment at the forward end configured to produce an orbiting motion rather than a rotational movement of the flasher device. A trailing line is generally attached to a trailing line attachment point on the rearward end of the flasher device to which is connected lures, bait, hooks, etc. for catching fish.

The present invention relates to a fishing rig having a fishing line, a fixture, a conical diverter and a hooking device. The conical diverter has a cylindrical wall portion that is contiguous with and extends from a conically-shaped wall portion having an aperture in the narrow end that allows the fishing line to pass through. The aperture has a diameter that is larger than a thickness of the line and smaller than a width of the fixture, which is attached to the line. The line passes through the aperture so that when the fishing rig is pulled through water, the fixture is positioned inside the conical diverter and prevents the narrow end of the conical diverter from traversing the line toward the hooking device beyond the fixture, thereby allowing the conical diverter to be pulled through the water ahead of and spaced from the hooking device.

A steerable fishing lure with highly improved steerability is disclosed. The fishing lure has a generally hollow body having an inner surface and a generally tubular cam sleeve located inside the body and fixedly attached to the inner surface. The cam sleeve has a forward cam surface and an aft cam surface. A generally cylindrical rotor is slideably inserted into the cam sleeve. The rotor has a forward cam and an aft cam. Each of the forward cam and the aft cam extends outwardly from the rotor such that the forward cam rides along the forward cam surface and the aft cam rides along the aft surface. A biasing member is mounted within the body. The biasing member is adapted to bias the forward cam against the forward cam surface. A method of redirecting a track of the fishing lure is also disclosed.

A plurality of bladed fishing lure embodiments having predetermined running depths dependent upon density characteristics of a stabilizing mass and mode of being affixed to a novel lure frame is disclosed. The blade is designed to translate blade oscillation into effective cyclic motion of an associated fishing lure assembly.

A vibrating lure for amateur fishing predatory fish, including an elongated holder with a hole (holes) for attaching a fishing line, a load at its front portion, a hook at its rear portion, and a plate movably attached longitudinally to the holder. The holder is in the form of a curved metal rod, having front and rear portions bent downwardly and threaded with a gap into two holes in the plate, formed in a front portion and in a rear portion on a longitudinal axis of the plate, and ends of curved portions of the holder are diverged apart. An alternate narrow holder has projections at the front portion and at the rear portion, with ends diverged apart or brought together (consolidated). The plate is formed to rotate around its longitudinal axis in both directions and to approach the raised lateral portions of the plate at the same distance relative to the vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation of the plate and the longitudinal axis of the holder. The vibrating lure is used for different fishing techniques, in particular at great depths.
