A device for adding a scent to a fishing lure, the device including: at least one electrode; and (i) a conductive element configured to place the fishing lure in conductive communication with the at least one electrode; and a control unit configured to activate the at least one electrode to cause the at least one electrode to impart a charge on the fishing lure via the conductive element, or (ii) a source of scented liquid; a heating mechanism; and a control unit configured to (a) activate the at least one electrode to cause the at least one electrode to impart a charge on the fishing lure, and (b) create steam from the scented liquid, wherein ions from the steam are attracted to the fishing lure when the charge is imparted on the fishing lure by the at least one electrode.

A bait holder includes a multi-purpose lid that has a sliding portion operable to both cut and enclose bait within a bait container.

A tool for injecting prepared bait into an artificial fishing lure having a handle with a generally linear upper portion and a punch tube moveably engaged with the upper portion for movement between a retracted position and an extended position to bore the fishing lure, receive bait in the tube, and inject bait into the bored fishing lure.

A minnow capturing system includes a tubular member that has an open first end, an open second end and a perimeter wall having a plurality of elongated slits. The slits expose portions of a minnow held within the tubular member such that a hook can extend through the slits and through the minnow. A housing for holding minnows and water has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall includes a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. A juncture is defined where the bottom wall meets the first side wall. The interior surface of the first side wall is concavel arcuate from the front wall to the rear wall. The tubular member is positionable against the juncture such that a minnow in the housing swims into the second end.

A bait container is described that includes a thermal transfer chamber that is capable of cooling or heating water and bait within the container. The bait container is further capable of separating bait from the water to allow access to the bait in a more efficient manner. The bait container is also easily disassembled to allow complete cleaning of the container and its component parts.

A device to cut and store bait, the device having a base including a floor and a wall extending upward from a perimeter of the floor, a recess extending from an upper edge of the wall, a lid configured to fit in register with the upper edge of the wall so as to form an enclosure with the base when the device is closed, and a cutting member extending from the lid and configured to be positioned adjacent the recess when the device is closed so as to substantially block access to the enclosure through the recess, wherein the cutting member is configured so as to move through an area adjacent and axial to the recess when the lid is being closed.

An accessory container that comprises an outer container and at lease one inner container resting therein. The outer container having an outside wall and a floor that define the outer container interior space; the inner container having an inside wall and an outside wall and a floor, the inside wall and the outside wall defining an inner container interior space, and the inside wall and the outside wall defining a aperture to allow access from the outside of the accessory container to the outer container interior space; and a lid that covers at least a portion of the inner container.
