Methods and apparatus for enhanced audible fishing equipment with heat shrink
The present disclosure provides an Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure with desirable waterproofing and hydrodynamic properties. The Audible Enhanced Fishing Lure has a sound generator, or other noisemaking device, fixed by a waterproof means to the body of the device, combined with reflective material to maximize the device's attractiveness to fish. The heat shrink process itself ensures smooth glide through the water and waterproofing of the elements of the lure. The present disclosure also provides apparatus and method for manufacturing a weighted popping flotation device, which has desirable water-resistance properties, a plurality of audible generators to attract fish, and is weighted precisely to ensure ease of casting into the wind. In some embodiments, the weighted popping flotation device utilizes heat shrink tubing to prevent snagging of the fishing line when dragged through water.
Illuminated spinnerbait fishing lure
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.

FISHING LURE QUICK RELEASE
A quick release fishing trolling flasher lure having a front end and back end, with a receiver affixed to the back end and secured head affixed to the front end and one or more hooks connected to the secured head. In operation, the added tension of a fish on a hook causes the receiver and the secured head to separate releasing the tension along the line of the flasher, reducing the movement of the flasher and related interference with keeping a fish on the line.
PROPELLER JIGGING SPOON LURES
Fishing lures of the jigging spoon type are disclosed. Exemplary jigging spoon lures may include a body of heavy material, a propeller or blade at each end of the body, and a through wire on which the propellers are mounted. A hook, which may be a treble hook, is at one end of the lure and a line tie is at the other end of the lure. Rattles may be included in the body.

Fishing lure
A lure imitating the swimming action of a fish, includes: a rigid head consisting of a flat rear section and elements for fixing a fishing line, a hook including a shaft fixed to the rear section of the head and extending along the longitudinal axis of the lure, a flexible body extending between a front and rear end, the front end being flat and resting against the rear section of the head, the front end having a section substantially equal to the rear section, the body including a first cylindrical part extending substantially along the longitudinal axis of the lure and including a recess, and a second curved part, a baffle extending in a transverse plane relative to the body, the baffle being fixed to the rear end of the body and increasing the curvature of the second part relative to a central line of curvature of the second part.
Sidetracker
A sidetracker includes a body including a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body. The first and second fins are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. A channel is formed in the body. The channel includes a first groove and a second groove. The first and second grooves cross each other. A wing is positioned in the channel. The wing is detachably coupled to the body. The wing is configured to rotate between the first groove and the second groove. The wing is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.
GLO-SHOT SPOON AND JIG
The one or more embodiments of a glow in the dark fishing lure system are presented. The glow in the dark fishing lure system includes a main body having a receiving member therein that is sized and shaped to receive and hold a light member therein that in one arrangement is a glow stick. The light member is easily inserted into the receiving member by applying pressure to the light member thereby forcing the light member within the receiving member. The light member is easily removed from the receiving member by inserting a protrusion of a removal tool into the receiving member thereby forcing the light member out of the receiving member.
