Abstract: A spinner shape (10) cut and formed to resemble a small bait fish which exhibits rotation (40) in moving air or water as a result of action against the broad surfaces of the tail fin plates (24) and the internal broad surfaces of the spinner bodies (28). The spinner shape is then journaled on a shaft (32) through center hole (14) and adjoined tab holes (12) for assembly as an in-line spinning lure (30), or is adjoined at the opposite ends with a split ring (46) to be attached by way of a swivel (50) to a “V” frame spinner bait (48) or to a jig spinner (49).

Abstract: A castable device for spin or bait casting which forms a static casting loop 15 and makes it possible for an angler to cast small lures or flies 27 with typical spin or bait casting equipment 14. The castable device is comprised of a leading section 10, an intermediate weighted section 11, and a trailing section 12, which attaches between a spin or bait casting line 25, and a leader 26 and fly 27, and provides a static casting loop, when cast.

Abstract: A reusable strike indicator (10) of size and weight to be useful in fly fishing, ice fishing and light bait fishing, which provides slippage resistant attachment along a static fishing line (L) at a selected position of adjustment. The strike indicator comprises a suitable shape 11 that is bifurcated (12) to create opposing surfaces which are resiliently held in rotationally interlocking contact by an elongate, dumbbell shaped, stretchable tab (20), slightly shorter in length than the strike indicator, which is inserted through the lumen of an axial bore (14) in the strike indicator [shape] (10). The ends of the stretchable tab (20) are affixed into recesses (18), one at each end of the strike indicator. The fishing line 30 passes through a longitudinal slit (16) in the strike indicator (10) into the lumen of the bore (14); wherein, the strike indicator (10) is separated axially outward and the stretchable tab (20) is twisted around the fishing line 30.
