Abstract: An improved fishing tool for crimping ferrules to fasten segments of fishing line together is disclosed. The improved fishing tool has a pair of jaws defining a plurality of grooves with varying transversely-oriented lengths and varying thickness. The varying transversely-oriented lengths and thickness of the plurality of grooves allows the fishing tool to perform a crimping operation on ferrules of varying sizes along the middle portion of the ferrules without crimping the ends of the ferrules.

Abstract: A fishing lure having stabilizing wing-like fins along each side of the lure body is generally described. Stabilizing wing-like fins allow the lure to be trolled or retrieved under the water surface while remaining upright and swimming in a life-like motion. The stabilizing wings define a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is substantially perpendicular to the lure body. The bottom surface twists along an arcuate line from a plane that begins acute to the side surface of the lure body to a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the side section of the lure body. The lure can also include a diving element towards the head section of the lure. The diving element can be a weight located within the head section of the lure.

Abstract: A fishing lure is generally provided that incorporates a hook stabilizing device that substantially holds the hook in place and hinder the hook from rotating while the lure is being fished. The hook stabilizing device is configured to accept the connection a fishing line to a hook, such as a crimp connection to an eyelet of a hook. Free rotation of the hook may be allowed after a fish is hooked when the connection of the line to the hook is removed from the hook stabilizing device while fighting the hooked fish.
