Abstract: A fishing lure is provided with two spinners formed of ribbon or band-like members in the shape of either half loop or full loop elements. The spinners are pitched at an angle to the shaft of the lure so that the two spinners rotate about the axis of the shaft in opposite directions to mitigate twist or torque in the fishing line. The surface areas of the two spinners are approximately equal.

Abstract: The present invention generally concerns a fishing lure having a hollow body comprising inner and outer tubular members with an annular space therebetween. A plurality of attachment points permit the fishing lure to be drawn through water in a variety of orientations. In addition, modular attachment elements cooperate with the basic lure to comprise a clip-on system of members which may be assembled in selected configurations, resulting in resemblance to different baits. Light variously transmitted through the outer tubular member may be reflected by an inner tubular member to enhance alluring effects. Additionally, various openings in communication with the annular space permits transmission of air bubbles and water therethrough, for further enhanced alluring effects.

Abstract: First and second hinge leaves are mounted respectively on the body and the door with one hinge leaf having a pivot pin and the other hinge having a hinge aperture adapted to engage the pivot pin to establish a door hinge pivot axis. The first and second leaves have flanges which interengage one another through the normal range of pivoting movement of the door between open and closed position so as to maintain the engagement between the hinge aperture and the pivot pin. The door is separable from the body by pivoting the door beyond the range of normal pivoting movement to disengage the bearing portions of the hinge leaves from one another and then lifting the door axially of the hinge pin axis to disengage the hinge aperture and the pivot pin. The separable door hinge also includes an offset auxiliary pivot axis provided by an alignment abutment on one of the hinge leaves axis and an alignment notch provided on the other of the hinge leaves.
