Abstract: The disclosed fishing lure systems have a fishing lure, bead sleeve, and a stop that can be used in combination with a fishing line and hook. The fishing lure has a pliable body and a pre-formed hole. The bead sleeve can be fitted within the pre-formed hole with an interference fit because the pliable body expands to fit around the bead sleeve to hold it in place within the pre-formed hole. The stop is positioned on one side of the fishing lure and bead sleeve to prevent it from sliding down towards the hook or possibly over some portion of the hook. The stop can be positioned spaced apart from the hook on a fishing line so that the distance between the fishing lure and the hook remains at a desirable spacing while in use.

Abstract: The disclosed artificial fishing lures have an elongated, flexible body with a pre-formed hole through the body. The hole has a longitudinal portion that extends along a central axis of the body some length, which in some examples is at least mid-way along the entire length of the body of the lure. The hole has a second portion that extends from the central axis at an angle to cause the hole to end on an exterior surface of the body of the lure. The hole is large enough to allow the fishing lure to slide along a fishing line that is threaded through the hole. The hole diameter is larger than the diameter of the line, in some example 50% larger, and is smaller than a diameter of a fishing hook attached to the end of the line, which allows the fishing lure to slide along the line easily and be stopped by the fishing hook so it does not slide off the line and hook combination. Other lure stops can be used as well.
