Abstract: Detachable lure dressings having modular spinner blade assemblies and rattle chambers that mount to elastomer collars and filaments at a fishing lure. The dressings enhance the audible and visual flash characteristics of a lure. Improved spinner baits are also disclosed wherein elastomer spinner blade and/or rattle assemblies are mounted to projecting wire or plastic arms. A flexible elastomer arm having spinner blades and/or rattles mounted to swivels is particularly supported at a collar to a rigid wire form that projects from the lure.

Abstract: A molded retainer system for fishing lure dressings and accessories. In an integral retainer construction, a headpiece and stem piece are separated by a recess space along the stem piece that supports desired dressings, for example, banded or roll-up multi-stranded skirts, scent collars and/or rattles. The headpiece can include fringed edges, filaments with interconnected rattles or bristled weedguards. In a two-piece construction, a detachable stem piece is shaped to plug mount to a cavity at the headpiece. A variety of different lure dressings can be fitted to the stem-piece prior to being re-mounted to the headpiece. A multi-stranded skirt having a series of protrusions at each strand is also disclosed that can be fitted to the retainers.

Abstract: A storage container system adapted to support a number of open-ended storage tubes. A lanyard, retainer clips and/or tethered paraphernalia (e.g. forceps, fingernail clippers, scissors, magnifying glass etc.) are supported to appending arms. Loops and/or sleeves at the carrier compressively contain bobbers, forceps, scissors and other relatively long stemmed items. Relatively large loops can project from the carrier to contain other detachable film canisters. Internal vent channels and ports at the carrier or the tubes can communicate with the atmosphere to vent moisture from the tubes. In lieu of fitting each tube to a bore, projecting cap pieces can contain the tubes to the carrier.
