A fishing bait forming assembly and method for facilitating baiting gelatinous bait includes a housing enclosing an interior space and having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The housing is elongated from a first end to a second end, and the first and second ends are open. A bait form is mounted to the housing and compresses a portion of the gelatinous bait to form a compacted bait mass. A hook slot extends through the first end of the housing and through the exterior surface and the interior surface of the housing.

A round strand skirt material device to enhance the efficiency of producing fishing lures and flies. In one embodiment, the device comprises pre-cut flat layers of skirt material, each fused at opposite ends to secure individual cylindrical strands, obviating the need for manual separation. In another embodiment, the device takes the form of a roll, featuring serially connected pre-cut portions with detachable, perforated lines. These portions house separated round strands, promoting easy detachment and utilization. In some embodiments, the device can be used with barrel tools to form lures and flies. The device of the present invention provides anglers a time-saving tool adaptable to different manufacturing techniques, contributing to efficient and dynamic fishing lure and fly production.

A trolling head includes first and second body portions. Each body portion includes a first end and a second end with a body portion thru-hole therebetween. Each body portion includes a mating surface extending from the first end to the second end. Each body portion includes a groove disposed within the mating surface, which extends from the first end to the second end. The mating surfaces of the first and second body portions are configured to attach together such that the grooves of the first and second body portions align to form a tunnel. The tunnel extends from the first ends to the second ends of the first and second body portions and is sized to receive a fishing line therethrough. The body portion thru-holes of the first and second body portions also align to form a trolling head thru-hole sized to receive a fish eye mimic therein.

An animated fishing jig apparatus with a molded jig body (e.g., torpedo shape, substantially round cross section) having an eyeball window(s) on its exterior surface and an interior chamber configured to fittedly carry an animator system assembly comprising a light source(s) (e.g., LED, multicolor, flashing), a micro vibration motor, and a battery. A head eye and a tail eye are mechanically connected to forward and aft portions of the jig body, respectively. The clear (or opaque) eyeball windows allow light source(s) emissions to escape into the nearby environment. The battery (e.g., rechargeable, removeable, or permanent) powers the light source(s) and the micro vibration motor during use. An automatic switch (e.g., water sensor type or pressure sensor type) detects a submerged condition to power On the onboard components, and detects a non-submerged condition to power Off. The jig body may be monolithically formed or assembled from multiple molded members (mechanically connected).

The present Invention reveals an innovative artificial lure for sport fishing characterized by a peculiar layout such as to give it an extremely natural behavior in the water when suitably maneuvered by a fishing line, or when left in the water without being moved by the same line. The Invention also has technical devices such as to be used also in combination with baits already existing in the State of the Art, in order to increase the characteristics of priming for certain species of fish, especially for the Perch-Trout species.

A jig head having tinsel incorporated therein and a method for producing the same are provided. The jig head comprises a jig body, hook, and tinsel. A portion of the hook is secured within the jig body to prevent removal of the hook. A portion of the tinsel is also contained within said jig body and projected out of said jig body at the hook end. The tinsel is angled out of the jig to clear a soft bait secured to the hook, allowing the tinsel to move in a desired fashion as the jig head moves through water. Body material is kept within a specific temperature range to ensure that the tinsel does not melt as the jig body is molded. A paint layer and adhesive layer are further applied to increase durability of the tinsel at the point in which it is secured to the jig body.

A fishing lure having interchangeable inserts includes a lure body having a front end, a rear end, a left side, a right side, a top side, and a bottom side. At least the left side, but in some embodiments also the right side, includes an insert slot with an opening proximate the rear end. The insert slot has at least one pair of opposing flanges. An insert engages the insert slot and has a catch at a forward end thereof adapted for engaging the snap aperture of the lure body. An outer surface of the insert with a natural attractant is visible through the insert slot between the flanges. The insert is preferably one of many available inserts that all have varying outer surface characteristics, such as color, pattern, texture, attachments, and the like. A fishing lure attachment cooperative with the inserts is used with existing fishing lures.

A fishing lure has a composition of substances which has a protein, a polysaccharide, a polyhydric alcohol and water, wherein the weight percentages of protein are between 15 wt % and 35 wt. %, of polysaccharide between 0.5 wt % and 3 wt %, of polyhydric alcohol between 35 wt % and 75 wt %, and of water between 15 wt % and 35 wt % in the composition of substances. Furthermore, a fabrication process for a fishing lure which degenerates in water and which is also non-toxic to organisms living in water, such as fish.
