ILLUMINATED SPINNERBAIT FISHING LURE
Spinnerbait fishing lures equipped with one or more light sources interacting and/or interfacing with one or more polymer light transmission mediums are described herein. The light source optically coupled to the polymer light transmission medium acts to illuminate one or more areas of the spinnerbait lure to enhance the effect of the fishing lure tomaintain its color, color pattern and iridescence.
Spinner lure
A fishing lure comprising at least two wires having a first end and a second end, wherein a first portion of the at least two wires are intertwined with one another, and wherein a predetermined distance from the first end a first bend is made and distal to the first bend, a second bend is made, and predetermined distance from the second bend a second portion of the at least two wires are untwined and a loop is formed at the second end of each of the at least two wires, a head molded around a portion of the first end of the at least two wires, a hook affixed to the head, and at least one spinner rotatably attached to the loop at the second end of each of the at least two wires, wherein the spinner is able to freely oscillate and vibrate.

Lure with oscillating blade
A fishing lure is comprised of a blade member that is pivotably and slidably coupled to a two-leg wire form member. The first leg of the wire form member passes through a first aperture in the blade member, while the second leg of the wire form member passes through a second aperture in the blade member. The blade member is supported by the wire form member at solely the first and second aperture locations. If desired, the blade member can be removed and replaced without needing to bend the blade member. The lure remains in a generally upright position and the blade member exhibits a rapid oscillating movement as the lure is pulled forward in water.

Crankin'Spin
A fishing lure assembly that includes a crank bait lure, a treble hook coupled to the rear loop of the crank bait lure, a spinner blade, a spinnerbait jig, and a fixture wire that couples the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig to define the fishing lure assembly, spaces the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig apart from one another, and provides a common connection point for securing the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig to a fishing line.

SIDETRACKER
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.
MODULAR FISHING-LURE SYSTEM AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
A fishing lure system includes a link and link enclosure and a variety of attachments. The enclosure includes a channel dimensioned to snugly fit over the link and defined by walls of a rigid material such as to resist deformation of the link when the link is under stress (e.g., a pulling fish). The link may be attached to a spinnerbait frame that is constructed of a specially looped elongated component (e.g., wire) forming two legs at roughly 90 degrees to each other. The frame and loop are formed through a series of wire bends that support the 90 degree angle against deformation when the frame is under stress. The link may be attached to a swimbait body constructed with a cavity within which the lure’s hook is substantially concealed. The link or frame may be attached to a spinnerbait blade comprising an outer blade encapsulating and inner feature.
