Flasher fishing lures are disclosed that include a fin pivotably attached to a rear portion of the flasher. In a closed configuration, the fin may be secured within a fin recess to form a substantially flat, continuous surface with the rear portion of the flasher. And, in an open configuration, the fin may extend substantially perpendicular to the surface of the rear portion. Accordingly, a user may select a fin configuration that provides optimal side-to-side, tail kicking and/or spinning motion of the lure through the water when trolled at various speeds and in any number of fishing conditions.

A shaking in-line spinner fishing lure has a hook, a wire shaft, a shaker blade, a spinner blade, and at least one loop fastener. The hook is connected to a first wire end of the wire shaft, and the shaker blade is rotatably coupled to a second end of the wire shaft through the at least one loop fastener, which may include a split ring and a duo snap lock, with the duo snap lock being rotatably coupled between the shaker blade and the snap lock, which is rotatably coupled to the wire shaft. The duo snap lock constrains a leading face of the shaker blade to be oriented toward the wire shaft, producing a vigorous shaking motion while in use. A spinner blade rotatably coupled to an end of the shaker blade produces an additional spinning motion for attracting fish to bite.

A vibrating disc fishing lure for adding motion to live bait as it moves through the water. The vibrating disc fishing lure generally includes a leader with a fixed loop adapted for attachment to a fishing line, the leader also being attached to or including a fishhook. The lure also includes a disc on the leader positioned between the fixed loop and the fishhook, the disc having a flat front surface toward the fixed loop and a flat rear surface toward the fishhook, and having an opening that extends from the flat front surface to the flat rear surface, wherein the leader passes through the opening such that the disc is free to rotate and vibrate on the leader.

A fishing hook has a shank, hairpin loop portion formed at an end of the shank, and a fastener at an opposite end of the shank. The hairpin loop portion extends downwardly from the end of the shank. The hairpin loop portion is flattened and has a width less than a diameter of the shank. The hairpin loop portion has an end extending away from the shank. The shank and the hairpin loop portion define a line-receiving slot therebetween. The fastener selected from the group consisting of a hook, a ring clip, a lobster clasp, another hairpin loop portion, and a weight.

A pivoting fishing jig is provided. The device includes a jig body having an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is pivotally affixed to the lower section at a first end of each of the upper section and the lower section. The jig body is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A first hook is affixed to a second end of the upper section. A connector is affixed to the first end of the lower section, wherein the connector is removably securable to a fishing line. In some embodiments, a notch is disposed along an interior surface of the lower section, wherein the notch is dimensioned to receive an interior edge of the upper section therein when the jig body is in the closed position.

A blade body of a fishing lure comprises a first protruding side and a second protruding side, creating a gap, and a jig body connected to the blade body such that when the blade body and jig body are connected and pulled through water, the blade body moves in a side to side motion limited by contact between the jig body and the first and second protruding sides.

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.
