The present invention relates to fishing products, including weights and jigs, that comprise a novel configuration to accommodate fish scent attractant. The invention further comprises the combination of the fishing products and a fish scent attractant.

A sonar reflective fishing lure or terminal tackle that includes a body, sonar reflective surfaces that are raised from the exterior body or recessed in the exterior body, and a hook connected to the exterior body. The sonar reflective surfaces face in different directions, which causes the fishing lure or terminal tackle to have enhanced sonar reflectivity and allows at least some of the reflective surfaces to be contacted by a sonar beam of a fish finder regardless of the positioning of the fishing lure or terminal tackle relative to the sonar beam.

Web-mounting fishing plug has a body with a slot or aperture into which a web can be inserted. The web, for example, a photo, postage stamp, or transparent colored sheet, may be inserted into the slot or aperture. A closure may attached to the body, which may cover the slot or aperture and protect the web from moisture. Provision for light-emission, coloration, pattern, an increase or decrease in mass, hence, density, movement, smell, sound, and so forth may be supplied. Hook(s) and/or other accessory(ies) may be attached. The invention can be provided in kit form so that the web of one's choosing, light, color, etc., may be employed with the plug.

An articulated exoskeleton bait holder/protector and hook device for holding live or dead shrimp has a body formed of pivotally connected generally inverted U-shaped transverse body segments formed of stiff transparent plastic material defining interior cavities configured to receive the shrimps' head, abdominal segments, and telson. An arcuate eye opening extends over the front portion of the head segment. Retaining members extending through laterally opposed sides of the body segments releasably retain the shrimp in the interior thereof. A downwardly curved lip attached to the head segment causes the body to dive and oscillate from side to side as it is drawn through water. The body segments pivot to conform to natural movements of a live shrimp's abdominal segments as it moves forward or backward, and the open bottom portions of the body segments allow the scent of the shrimp to escape.

The present disclosure provides a fishing sinker including a main body that is a casting, and a nitrided layer formed by nitriding a surface of the main body, and communication pores are provided in the nitrided layer and the main body with the communication pores configured to be impregnated with a liquid fishing bait for attracting fish. With communication pores impregnated with a liquid fishing bait for attracting fish, the liquid fishing bait is securely held in the nitrided layer.

An odor-bearing soft bait fishing lure with a core with a number of holes in it. The core includes a fish-attractant substance. An outer shell encases the core. The shell has at least one opening that exposes the core to the water when the lure is used in the water, to thereby expose the fish-attractant substance of the core to the water.

The present invention relates to an improved fishing lure having the ability to be camouflaged. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fishing lure having multiple catching devices with capacity for varying the bait and size of lures, having a built-in compartment adapted for the insertion of live bait or chum used in the attraction of fish.

An artificial bait material for use in a simulated bait assembly. The artificial bait material includes a body that is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) such as PLASTISOL. In addition, the artificial bait material include a thread component having a first portion that is formed within the body of the artificial bait material, and a second portion that extends out of and away from the body. In this configuration, for example, the material can be used to form a fly lure by tying the second portion of the thread component directly to the hook or barb of the lure with fly tying thread, without having to wrap either thread around the body of the artificial bait material. As a result, the fly tying thread can be tightly tied to the hook or barb without risk of cutting through the body of the artificial bait material.

The present invention relates to a fishing enhancer to aid a fishing enthusiast in locating a line or fishing lure by enhancing the ability of a live sonar device to detect the size, shape, positioning, and location of a fishing lure (or line) after the lure has been cast into water. The present invention relates to a mixture having a formula including a carrier component, a scent component, a visual indicator and/or active particles. The mixture is placed on a lure, bait or fishing line to, not only attract fish, but enhance the image of the object to which the mixture is applied on a live sonar image.

Fishing lure with hydrofoil flares, cylindrical hinges, and hook cavity is a special fishing lure that swims like a real fish when it is travelling through the water. Fishing lure with hydrofoil flares, cylindrical hinges, and hook cavity has two hydrofoil flares and two cylindrical hinges that cause the fishing lure to appear to be swimming. Fishing lure with hydrofoil flares, cylindrical hinges, and hook cavity also has a special hook cavity with a hook puncture tab and a hook stop tab that securely holds a fishing hook inside the fishing lure. Fishing lure with hydrofoil flares, cylindrical hinges, and hook cavity also has a weight cavity, rattle cavity, glow stick cavity, and a scent cavity to help attract real fish to the fishing lure.
