The present invention is an interchangeable weight assembly adaptable to quickly and easily be placed on a fishing lure for the purpose of increasing and decreasing the fishing weight. The fishing weight of the present invention comprises of a weight body and a connecting member, which provide connectors to connect the fishing weight to the fishing line and fishing lure. The fishing weight body is centrally bored to build a channel in which the connecting member can slidably be inserted and supported tightly therein and be quickly and easily removed by a novel mechanism of the present invention to change the fishing weight to selectively decrease or increase the weight of the fishing lure and the hook.

An interchangeable snap on fishing lure and clasp. The clasp is molded in the lure body which snaps onto the hook. The clasp configuration saves the plastic lure from damage caused by piercing it with the hook. This greatly improves the life span of the plastic lures. It also makes changing the type or color of one's lure extremely fast and efficient.

A device for rigging a fishing lure having a hollow cylindrical main body with a first tapered end and a second non-tapered end, such that the tapered end is sized to fit snugly on an artificial fishing worm lure. The device has a number of holes distributed around the central portion of the main body to enable the passage of a fishing hook through the lure and device combination. The device may be constructed of plastic, metal, rubber, or a combination of materials. The device may be weighted or have additional embellishments to enhance an angler's fishing success.

The inventors disclose and teach herein a device that quickly and reliably attaches rigging to a fishing line, especially trolling lines. The device includes a spring-loaded clip with means for attaching additional accessories to the clip, such as weights. Accordingly, in the context of trolling, a trolling depth can be set and readjusted rapidly simply by clipping different weights onto the line. Moreover, the clip includes a side-opening for receiving a fishing line in compression between a spring-loaded plunger and anvil. The line is further secured by an embossed retainer blocking the line from slipping out from between the plunger and anvil.

An apparatus and methods relating to Anaconda Rattler tackle, a new type of lure that includes an audible generator (such as a rattle) attached to a bent blade to form wings and a lift surface, the wings may be formed in a direction generally the same as a direction of the lift surface or an opposite direction to the lift surface. The audible generator has some freedom of movement relative to the blade, allowing various noise profiles to be produced depending upon the type of audible generator chosen and the degree of bend in the blade. The blade may also have various holes to secure it to a wire and to change its hydrodynamic profile.
