A trolling teaser for trolling and attracting fish, the teaser comprising: an elongate body extending between a frontal end and a rear end, the front end wherein the front end comprises a tethering attachment to tether the body to a towline and allow the teaser to be towed; one or more light sources mounted to the body for radiating light and attracting fish; and, a light source controller housed within an internal volume of the body for controlling operation of the at least one light source.

A directional guide for a spreader bar includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body and are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. Grooves are formed in the body. The grooves include a first groove extending along the longitudinal axis of the body, a second groove crossing the first groove and a third groove crossing the first groove. A keel is rotatably coupled to the body. The keel is configured to rotate between the first groove, the second groove, and the third groove. The keel is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.

A fish capture device comprises a reconfigurable member having at least one of a changeable size and a changeable shape when engaged within an inside of a mouth of a fish to retain the fish on the fish capture device. A trigger member triggers said at least one changeable size and changeable shape of the reconfigurable member. A release member substantially restores the reconfigurable member to at least one of an initial size and an initial shape for releasing the fish from the fish capture device.

A sidetracker includes a body including a first fin and a second fin spaced apart from the first fin. The first and second fins are coupled to the body. The first and second fins are configured to control a vertical position of the body in water through which the body is moving. A channel is formed in the body. The channel includes a first groove and a second groove. The first and second grooves cross each other. A wing is positioned in the channel. The wing is detachably coupled to the body. The wing is configured to rotate between the first groove and the second groove. The wing is configured to control a lateral position of the body in water through which the body is moving.

A fishing lure having a body with a first end and a second end. Extending through the body is one or more strips of fabric that preferably extend along a length of the body. Also, embedded in the body is one or more strands that extend form the first end of the body to the second end.

Flexible frameworks are described including a plurality of at least one structural component having a waveform axially stacked and configured to form at least one internal conduit.

A flexible plastic fishing lure has an integral retainer that is configured proximal to a front end of the fishing lure and has at least one retainer barb. The integral retainer is a harder and tougher material than the plastic used in the body of the fishing lure and is configured to seat over the jig-head barb to prevent the flexible plastic fishing lure from sliding down along the jig-head. The integral retainer has at least one retainer barb that more effectively holds the flexible plastic to the integral retainer. The integral retainer may have extension tabs that extend out radially and in some cases extend out from the flexible plastic body. The integral retainer may also have an aperture that extend along the length of the integral retainer and may be used to inject the flexible plastic into a mold.
