A fishhook holder 10 is configured to hold a fishhook against a soft lure and is made of a resin material, and includes a base 20 configured to contact an outer surface of the soft lure and a tapered shaft 30 protruding from the base 20 and configured to extend through the soft lure. The shaft 30 includes a basal end 30a coupled to the base 20, a distal end 30b opposite the basal end 30a in an axial direction of the shaft 30, an insertion hole 31 located between the basal end 30a and the distal end 30b and configured such that the fishhook extends through the insertion hole 31, and a mark 33 located between the insertion hole 31 and the distal end 30b and indicating a reference position in a case where a portion including the distal end 30b is cut off from the shaft 30.

A fishing tackle comprising a hook with a protruding portion disposed on a shank of the hook and an artificial bait over-molded on the hook and protruding portion. The protruding portion includes a plurality of ridges disposed along a first section and second section. The ridges disposed along the first section are angled towards the proximal end of the hook, and the ridges disposed along the second portion are angled towards the distal end of the hook.

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 inventive concept relates to an artificial bait with movable hooks that is capable of easily catching cephalopods such as octopus ocellatus, cuttlefish, and the like underwater. According to the present inventive concept, in the process of performing hook setting, the movable hooks located at one end portion of the body move to the other end portion of the body, so that the cuttlefish around the body can be easily caught by the movable hooks suddenly protruding outward.

A fishing lure includes a pliable body having a forward portion configured to produce drag on the pliable body when moved through water in a prescribed direction. The pliable body additionally includes an upper edge having a forward segment extending from the forward portion, a rearward segment extending away from the forward segment, and a middle segment located between the forward and rearward segments and forming an apex between the forward and rearward segments. A pair of eyes are included on opposed sides of the pliable body. The fishing lure further includes a hook connector having a corkscrew portion and an axial portion. The hook connector is connected to the pliable body such that the corkscrew portion is located within the pliable body and a segment of the axial portion extends out of the planar forward surface of the pliable body to facilitate attachment to a hook.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to fishing lures, and more particularly, to attachable floats for artificial fishing lures. In one embodiment, a float comprises a buoyant body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an outer wall connecting the first and second ends. The float comprises a keeper extending from the body. The keeper is configured to attach the body to a polymeric artificial lure.

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.

A fishing worm according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a solid worm for fishing having an interior portion partially or completely visible from outside. The solid worm comprises at least one high refractive index glass bead and/or at least one specular bead capable of reflecting external light and embedded in the solid worm or partially exposed on a surface of the solid worm. Alternatively, the solid worm has an outer surface to which a coating material containing the high refractive index glass bead and/or the specular bead is applied. The external light is reflected by the high refractive index glass bead and/or the specular bead.

A fishing lure according to an embodiment of the disclosure comprises a main body portion having an interior portion provided with a cavity. The cavity is partially or completely visible from outside. At least one high refractive index glass bead and/or at least one specular bead capable of reflecting external light is disposed in an outer surface of the main body portion, in an inner surface of the main body portion, and/or inside the cavity. The external light is reflected by the at least one high refractive index glass bead and/or the at least one specular bead disposed in the outer surface, in the inner surface, and/or inside the cavity.
