A clevis body adapted to support one or a pair of spinner blades in combination on a filamentary support to produce a periodic cyclical counter rotation of the clevis and spinner blade assemblies when directed through water. A bore at a longitudinal core receives the filamentary support. At least one cross arm laterally radiates from the core and mounts to at least one spinner blade support arm that extends parallel to the core. One or a pair of spinner blades mounted to the longitudinal support arm(s) periodically and cyclically counter rotate the assembly about the filamentary support. The hydrodynamic movement of the clevis body and attached blades particularly induce the assembly to cyclically and periodically change back and forth between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation directions.

A directional guide for a spreader bar includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body and are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. Grooves are formed in the body. The grooves include a first groove extending along the longitudinal axis of the body, a second groove crossing the first groove and a third groove crossing the first groove. A keel is rotatably coupled to the body. The keel is configured to rotate between the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove. The keel is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.

A fishing lure is constructed of a rigid plate of carbon fiber configured to simulate bait (e. g. fish, worm, insect, or cephalopod) for fish; at least one hook assembly attached to the carbon fiber plate; and a mechanism that allows connection of the plate to a fishing line. The carbon fiber of the plate may have a bi-directional/double weave. the carbon fibers forming the plate may have a thickness between about 4 and 12 m, and the plate may have a thickness of between about 1.5-5 mm. The mechanism that allows connection of the plate to a fishing line may have a construction containing an adjustable lip and link assembly for attaching a fishing line including a V-shaped opening in the front of the plate, and slots in both the upper and lower surfaces defining the opening, the slots dimensioned and configured to hold a lip.

In a first embodiment, a fishing lure comprising, a body having a fish like design with a first end and second end and a groove distal to the second end incorporated into the body, a hook integrated into the first end of the body, a stem extending a predetermined distance from the second end of the body, wherein the stem is capped, a bead inserted onto the stem, a spinner blade having at least three openings, attached to the stem by a first opening, wherein the spinner blade can rotate 360 degrees about a center axis of the stem, and a line attachment secured through a second and third opening of the spinner blade.

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.

A fishing lure has a body with an eye on a rear end portion. A blade is coupled to the eye by way of rings. The blade has two lateral portions, which are non-planar to one another and join together along a ridge. The ring component allows the blade to rotate between limits, with the blade rotating in one direction to a first limit and then rotating in the opposite direction to a second limit. This causes the blade to rotate then stop and then reverse rotation until the next stop. The rotation-stop movement of blade causes the lure to move erratically, mimicking a fish.

A lure for fishing configured to simulate a swimming motion while sinking. A further embodiment relates to a lure for fishing which does not sink vertically, but swims downwards at an angle. The lure may change direction without input from the user. In an embodiment the lure vibrates when being pulled by a user (e.g. using a fishing rod), swims downwards at an angle when under no external force, vibrating while it does so and changes direction when sinking. Various characteristics of the lure may contribute to this behaviour such as the weight and shape.
