A weighted and holographic plastic spinner blade comprises a plastic elliptical-shaped spinner blade having a body formed in plastic injection molding and, integral to the body, a printed label on a first side of body and a weight at an aft end of body. An ink or foil is hot stamped at a second side of the body to create a holographic image that is visible through the body and printed label, forming visual fish attractant properties. Method of manufacture includes: providing an elliptical-shaped mold; positioning a partially transparent printed label on a first side of mold; positioning a weight member in an aft end of the mold; injecting a polymer composition into the mold to form body; hot stamping foil on second side of the body, the ink or foil forming a holographic image; the holographic image visible through the at least partially transparent printed label and body.

A crushable fishing weight can include a body fashioned from malleable metal having a plurality of channels. In at least some embodiments, the body is cylindrical and the channels run parallel to the longest axis of the cylindrical body. In some embodiments, a hanger apparatus with a hanger eye occupies one of the channels. A lure assembly can be affixed to the hanger, and incoming line to which the lure is to be attached is fed through the plurality of channels. When the weight is crushed, the friction from the channels against the line holds the line in place, thus affixing a weight and lure system to the incoming line without additional knots.

A tungsten sinker formed of a flat unpainted outer body surface with an inner channel running from a first end to a second end, the tungsten sinker is unpainted, has a flat dark neural color, and includes a base stock of 97% pure tungsten.

A fishing line weight that is configured to be releasably secured to a fishing line wherein the present invention is operable to employ organic materials having a mass sufficient to sink a bait assembly to a desired level in the water column or to the bottom. The present invention includes a bag member wherein the bag member includes opposing walls that are seamed along the perimeter edge thereof on three sides of the bag member to form an interior volume. The interior volume is of suitable size to accommodate rocks or other organic materials therein. The bag member includes an opening proximate the top end thereof providing access to the interior volume. The bag member can employ a closing member that is similar to a drawstring to provide opening and closing of the opening. A loop member or an aperture can be present to facilitate attachment to a fishing line.

A lure includes a body, a passage formed in the body, a plurality of independent spherical sinkers that moves in the passage, a holding member that holds the plurality of spherical sinkers together, and an attachment portion to which the spherical sinker which is located foremost and held by the holding member is attached by a magnetic force.

According to the lure of the present invention, the plurality of spherical sinkers can be integrally and smoothly moved in the passage.

Disclosed is a lead-free weight and a method of making the same. The weights are constructed from a combination of mineral and/or metal elements, coarse granular element, and at least one naturally-occurring binder. The fishing weights can be made in various shapes. The weights are environmentally friendly and disintegrate within a few weeks when lost to a body of water or the surrounding area.

A bait holder adapted for securing a fishing hook to a soft plastic bait while fishing a weedless technique during bass fishing. The bait holder includes an attachment portion, adapted to be inserted through the eye of the fishing hook for securely attaching to the fishing hook. The bait holder further includes a first hook extending from the attachment portion and being adapted to be inserted through a portion of a soft bait for securing the soft bait to the first end of the fishing hook during use. The bait holder of the present invention allows the fisherman to pull his bait through the thickest of vegetation without the top of the plastic bait sliding down the shaft of the hook.

A fishing line weight according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a first tungsten body including a first hole, a first projection and a first groove. A second tungsten body includes a second hole substantially aligned with the first hole, a second projection substantially aligned with the first groove and a second groove substantially aligned with the first projection. A copper pin is disposed in the first hole and the second hole. The first tungsten body is unconnected from the second tungsten body.

A fishing sinker consisting of a cloth bag which is open at the top. The bag is partially filled and then the upper part of the bag is gathered together and closed by means of an eye pin and rubber band attached to the eye of the eye pin. The eye pin is laid across the gathered fabric then the rubber band is pulled around the gathered fabric and over the end of the eye pin to provide closure. The bag can thus be emptied and retrieved by pulling firmly on the fishing line, which is also attached to the metal pin, which is tethered to the bottom of the bag.

A quick release fishing sinker consists of a sealed packet formed from a material that dissolves in water, and weighted sinker material contained inside the sealed packet. The sealed packet may be composed of an elongated volume of dissolvable polymer film that has an unfilled portion formable into a tieable thread line for attachment by tying to fishing line, bait, or fishing tackle. The unfilled portion of the packet may occur between filled ends of the packet or primarily at one end of the packet opposite a filled end of the packet.
