An artificial bait selectively configurable in a first configuration or a second configuration is provided. In the first configuration, a hook may be positioned and located proximate to an upper side of the artificial bait. In the second configuration, a hook may be positioned and located proximate to a lower side of the artificial bait. The artificial bait may include a body sized and shaped to resemble a natural food source for fish. In addition, a guide may be positioned and located in the body. In the first configuration, fishing line may extend through the guide to an upper side of the body. However, in the second configuration, the fishing line may extend through the body and the guide to a lower side of the body. Thus, a hook may be selectively coupled with the fishing line proximate to the upper side or the lower side of the body.

A lure comprises a body. The body is configured to have an internal space inside an outer shell. The body has, in the internal space, an array structure in which grid lines are arranged in a generally uniform manner.

A lure includes a body, a weight, a guide member and an elastic member. The body is hollow and has a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof. The weight is inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction. The guide member is in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction. The elastic member is in the body and is configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction. The weight is movable backward against the energizing force of the elastic member and one of the weight and the elastic member is inserted into an inside of the other.

The disclosure provides various components for a fishing lure. These components include a Hard Bodied Ballast Oscillator (HBBO) which oscillates around various axes, an HBB with positive lift that rises during retrieval, and a hook for use in a rigid body which, while being fished, remains at least partially inside the body and reliably pointing upwards, and which, when the fish bites, is at least partially exposed. In some cases multiple components may be connected to each other via a stiff wire and designed to maintain, in the water, a particular orientation of the components relative to each other.

A lure device for mimicking life-like movement of a piece of bait to attract and capture a fish includes a stem having a first end and a second end. A channel extends through the stem. A fishing line is slidably positioned within the channel. The channel includes an inlet that extends through an outer surface of the stem. The inlet is spaced from the second end by a distance exceeding a distance between the inlet and the first end. An outlet extends through the second end. A weight is coupled to the stem to urge the stem downward through a body of water. A pair of legs are coupled to and extend from the weight. The pair of legs trail along a bottom surface of the body of water while the stem and the fishing line extend upwardly relative to the bottom surface of the body of water.

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.

A shoreline fishing lure includes a lure body having a pair of side portions that, together, define an interior area and an upper slit in communication with the interior area. An insert member is positioned in the interior area and includes an upper section extending upwardly through the slit and defines a plurality of harness holes arranged along front and upper edges of the insert member. The insert member includes a weight mechanism proximate a lower edge of the insert member that is configured to selectively modify the lures body's buoyancy. The fishing lure includes a wire harness having an upper prong selectively extending through a selected harness hole, the wire harness having a predetermined contoured configuration that, when attached to the selected harness hole, modifies the direction and movement of the lure body in response to water resistance.

Systems for a fishing lure are disclosed, where the fishing lure includes a body with bends and/or twists and a plurality of holes formed into the body. The plurality of holes is oriented to prevent intersection between a leader hole and a tube adapted to hold bait or weighted pellets such that spinning of the fishing lure is increased.

A fishing lure is disclosed herein comprising an elongated body having a density of about 5 to 7 g/cm3, the fishing lure containing 85% to 90% by weight zinc, 8% to 12% by weight aluminum, and no more than 5% by weight lead. In some cases, the lure contains no more than 3% by weight lead. Corresponding systems and methods also are disclosed.

A fishing lure is disclosed, comprising a hook assembly with an eye, a first shank with a weighted head and an attachment feature, and a second shank with a barbed point directed away from the weighted head. The hook assembly is covered by a lure body attached to the attachment feature. The eye and barbed point extend beyond the lure body, enhancing the lure's effectiveness in attracting and catching fish. The weighted head provides a desired movement profile to the lure, while the orientation of the barbed point ensures secure hooking of the fish. This fishing lure design offers improved performance and durability for anglers seeking a reliable and efficient fishing tool.
