A fishing lure comprises a head; a hook connected to the head; an arm rotatably connected to the head with the lateral direction of the head as a rotation axis, the rotation axis located inside the head; and a blade connected to the arm. The rotation locus formed when the arm is rotated may be included in a plane with the lateral direction of the head as perpendicular line. The arm may be restricted from moving in the lateral direction of the head.

Illustrated views of an exemplary fishing lure and a method for making the fishing lure from recycled used fishing lures is presented. The fishing lure is useful for preventing worn or damaged fishing lures from entering the environment and thus causing environmental issues. Also, the fishing lure is useful to reduce costs and oil consumption in the making of the fishing lure.

Hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus for use with trolling techniques behind a boat. In one embodiment, the hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus includes an artificial lure having a body. A hydrofoil that includes a strut and a lifting surface, with the strut for the hydrofoil being attached to the body of the artificial lure is also included. In some variants, the artificial lure may be modeled after flying fish species. Wing retraction elements may be utilized on the hydrofoil to retract or expand the wings of the flying fish to provide for a more natural presentation. Other variants described herein include fishing lure platforms that include a hydrofoil that allow for the mounting of frozen, live, or other types of artificial baits on the hydrofoil itself.

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.

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 fishing lure may include a body and a removable lip, which may be removed manually without the use of tools by pressing on portions of the body to release a catch between the removable lip and the body.
