Fixed bar dredge with improved core assembly
A fixed bar luring dredge comprising a high-strength core member tubular in form and assembled to hold a plurality of spreader bars extending through and attached to the core member in a fixed radial pattern with each spreader bar being disposed in a separate and distinct plane to enhance the strength and support of the spreader bar members in trolling. Each spreader bar is sized to pass transversely through a pair of opposed openings in the wall of the tubular core member and is secured therein with a respective crimp sleeve at each opening. Separate swivel fittings with rotatable sections formed to fit longitudinally within of the core member are positioned partially inside the chamber of the core member at opposite ends thereof, each of the swivel fittings having a respective transverse opening formed therein that serves to engage one of the spreader bars passing through the core member and thereby hold the respective swivel fitting in place. The spreader bars are each provided with a plurality of dropper fasteners fitted along the outer length of each bar for suspending a respective number of luring strips bearing selected baitfish images designed to attract game fish while trolling.

FISHING LURE DEVICE AND METHOD
A fishing lure device and method of use are disclosed. The lure device may include a blade component, which may define one or more openings configured for attachment of a wire or other elongated element. The wire may further connect to a lure body and may also extend through the lure body and form a hook. The wire connects to the blade component so as to allow for at least partial rotation and may allow for oscillation, which may simulate the motion of fish. The blade may include an indentation or other feature which may allow for more realistic oscillation and may also allow the wire and attached lure body to be substantially in line with the primary plane of the blade. The blade may also define openings for the attachment of pivots arms which may include rattles or beads and may also include flutter components or reflective features.

Apparatus for attracting fish and methods for using the same
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.

Fishing Spoon with Reinforcing Perimeter Edge
A fishing spoon with reinforcing perimeter edge is a fishing lure designed to dart and wobble through the water as the fishing lure is trolled through the water. The fishing spoon with reinforcing perimeter edge includes a spoon body, a concave surface, a convex surface, a reinforcing edge, a hook attachment hole, and a line attachment hole. The concave surface and the convex surface are integrated into the spoon body to cause the spoon body to dart and wobble as the spoon body is trolled through the water. The reinforcing edge is perimetrically connected to the concave surface to further influence the motion of the spoon body through the water. The hook attachment hole traverses through the spoon body to allow a fishing hook to couple with the spoon body. The line attachment hole traverses through the spoon body to allow a fishing line to couple with the spoon body.

Surface lure
The invention can be used for catching fish either directly over the surface of water or in the near-surface layer of the water. The surface lure has a longitudinally elongated convex curved plate, metal load, device for fixing a fishing line in the front portion of the lure, at least one hook at the tail portion of the lure. In front of and behind the metal load, there are provided two rods projecting upwardly in the vertical plane above the upper edge of the load and threaded with a gap through the holes of the longitudinally elongated and curved plate located on the top of the load. The device for fixing the fishing line is brought forward relative to the lure center of gravity and is arranged in front of the metal load at its lower edge with the indentation downwardly relatively to the longitudinal axis of the plate.
