A bait holder to promote humane treatment of live bait having a plurality of ribs that extended from a spring and at least one clip at least one leader connected to a fish line and a hook. The spring may be longer for better hook placement. The leader maybe hollow for buoyancy so the bait stays alive causing better results. At least one attachment sight is connected to the leader. At least one hook attachment is connected to the leader. The number of ribs is reduced or increased directly proportional to the size and kind of the bait

The patent discloses a crimp sleeve for the fixation of two or more sections of wire, line, or similar material to each other. The crimp sleeve consists of an outer compressible and permanently deformable layer which is hard and resistant, and an inner cushion layer, which is softer and which conforms to the sections of material to be attached to each other. The multi-layered structure of the crimp sleeve allows for secure fixation without the risk of breakage or slippage of the connection. The invention applies primarily to fishing leaders that have looped ends, but can be applied to other areas where two or more sections of wire or line need to be secured to each other by crimping.

A fishing lure assembly includes a leader that has a first end and a second end. The first end forms a closed loop attachable to a fishing line. The leader extends through a first bead and a second bead such that the first and second beads are slidably positioned on the leader between the first and second ends. A wire has an upper end and a lower end. The wire is attached to and extends away from the leader. The upper and lower ends each are formed into closed hoops. The wire has a first twisted area adjacent to the upper end and a second twisted area adjacent to the second end. A hook is attached to the lower end and comprises a treble hook.

An organizer is disclosed for use in storing a plurality of fishing leaders. The organizer may include a base having an internal storage space, and a plurality of spools removably received within the internal storage space. Each of the plurality of spools is configured to receive a different one of the plurality of fishing leaders. The organizer also includes a winding location positioned external to the base and configured to removably receive at least one of the plurality of spools.

A fishing rig is provided that combines differing combinations of assemblies to form a multipurpose fishing rig capable of fishing differing environments, species and differing fishing methods. The assemblies of the fishing rig include a main leader assembly that utilizes an inline float with a radial bore to attach to a side leader assembly. The side leader assembly includes at least a spacer bead and a cinch bead utilized for adjustable tensioning when attached to the main leader. A hook or lure assembly is provided and attached to the side leader assembly for either live bait, or lure fishing.
