A live bait rig for adding motion to live bait as it moves through the water. The live bait rig generally includes a leader with a fixed loop adapted for attachment to a fishing line, the leader also being attached to or including a fishhook. The rig also includes a float on the leader positioned between the fixed loop and the fishhook, the float having a flat front surface toward the fixed loop and a curved rear surface toward the fishhook, and having an opening that extends from the flat front surface to the curved rear surface, wherein the opening is asymmetrically positioned on the float, wherein the leader passes through the opening such that the float is free to rotate on the leader.

Fishing device, such as a lure (1), in which there is a body (2), to the front end of which are attached means (3) for attaching a line (4) and at the rear end of which are winglets (11, 12) that rotate due to the force of the water flow. The winglets (11, 12) are mounted eccentrically on bearings on an essentially wire-like axle (9) to rotate in opposite directions and/or at different speeds. The winglets (11, 12) are essentially triangular, the bearing point being essentially at, or in the immediate vicinity of one point of the triangle.

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.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for enhanced fishing lure gyration are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a method for luring fish for ensnarement via inducing fish bait mobility, including: threading a fishing line in through an ingress opening of an anterior base portion of a buoyant fishing lure and out through an egress opening of a posterior base portion of the fishing lure, in which the fishing line traverses a channel connecting the ingress opening and the egress opening, in which the egress opening is to receive a base portion of a connector hook, in which the lure further has an asymmetrical curved blade portion extending peripherally outward from the anterior base portion of the central core portion, in which the asymmetrical curved blade portion includes: an anterior blade surface having a smooth texture configured to reduce fluid drag from water current, a posterior blade surface with integrated indentations, wherein the integrated indentations are to receive scented material to be affixed and positioned within recesses of the integrated indentations, in which the scented material is to be dissipated over an attached fishing bait posterior to the posterior blade surface as the fishing lure moves within a body of water, and an edge formed from an interface of the anterior blade surface and the posterior blade surface having a thickness configured to increase peripheral visibility; connecting the fishing line to accessories posterior to the posterior base portion, including one or more of: (i) fishing bait, (ii) floats, and (iii) ensnarement mechanisms including hooks; connecting the fishing line to one or more of: (i) fishing tackle including a bead chain swivel, and (ii) a fishing vessel located anteriorly to the anterior base portion; deploying the fishing lure having the threaded fishing line and connected accessories into a body of water; applying a force on the fishing line to induce movement of the fishing lure and the connected accessories within the body of water, in which the movement is induced by the asymmetric curved blade portion of the lure swiveling in an off-center rotating motion-counter motion of less than 360 degrees, in which the rotating motion-counter motion of the blade portion rotates the fishing line and the connected accessories in a combined rotating-oscillating motion; dissipating, pursuant to the movement of the fishing line, the scented material into the body of water; attracting, pursuant to the movement and the dissipating, fish in the body of water towards the fishing lure having the threaded fishing line and the connected accessories; and ensnaring the fish as they come into co

A fish lure component includes a hook portion having first and second hook members disposed in an opposing arrangement. A biasing member for normally biasing the hook portion in a closed configuration is disposed between the first and second hook members. A vane structure is provided to cause the fish lure component to rotate about an axis thereof during movement through a body of water and along a direction that is generally aligned with the axis. The hook portion is operable between the closed configuration and an open configuration in response to a fish strike on the hook portion.

A fishing lure includes a body portion, a hook member coupled to a junction region disposed distal of the body portion, and a shielding skirt extending from the body member. The body portion includes a rotatable member configured to rotate about a central longitudinal axis in the presence of fluid friction acting against the lure. The shielding skirt extends outward from the body portion and is configured to assume a first configuration during retrieval of the lure that defines a protective zone that protects the hook member from ensnaring structures, such as submerged vegetation. The shielding skirt is collapsible by contacting lateral forces into a second configuration in which one or more terminal endpoints of the hook member is exposed and available to ensnare the source of the contacting lateral force, such as a fish. The shielding skirt resiliently returns to the first configuration when the lateral forces are removed.
