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.

Fishing device, such as a lure (1), in which there is a body (2), to the front end of which are attached means (3) for attaching a line (4) and at the rear end of which are winglets (11, 12) that rotate due to the force of the water flow. The winglets (11, 12) are mounted eccentrically on bearings on an essentially wire-like axle (9) to rotate in opposite directions and/or at different speeds. The winglets (11, 12) are essentially triangular, the bearing point being essentially at, or in the immediate vicinity of one point of the triangle.

This novel invention for a bladed jig creates a unique swimming motion for attached baits when retrieved and stands up when at rest on the bottom underneath water. The bladed jig when retrieve at a rate to maintain the jig near the water's surface or partially above the surface creates a swimming bait motion and wake on the water's surface. Additionally, the bladed jig has an oscillating motion when jigged upwards and when released to descend toward the bottom underneath water to attract fish.

A fishing lure device that produces an increased amount of energy imparted on attached fish-attracting devices by incorporating gears for rotating parts attached to the fish-attracting devices. The fishing lure device can include a first and second gear interacting with one another at a predetermined gear ratio for creating a desired rotation of the fish-attracting devices.
