Abstract: A lure includes a body provided with a cavity inside, an oscillating portion disposed in the cavity which is visible from outside and configured to emit light, and a connecting member made of a polymer elastomer and configured to attach the oscillating portion to the body oscillatably. The polymer elastomer is rubber or thermoplastic elastomer. The connecting member is rod-shaped and the cross-sectional shape of the connecting member is circular, oval or polygonal.

Abstract: A flasher including at least one rib elevated above the surface of the middle plate portion of the flasher is provided. The rib(s) may exaggerate the movement of the flasher when pulled through water, when compared to an otherwise identical flasher without the rib(s).

Abstract: One object is to provide a fish collecting device having a simple structure whereby free rotation of a propeller is prevented in casting, and the propeller can rotate freely under water. The propeller body is formed of one metal plate or an integral resin mold; a front end stopper and a rear end stopper are formed of bent or projected parts of the propeller body at the front end and rear end of the propeller body, and a rotary shaft, inserted through holes formed in the front end stopper and the rear end stopper, has a rotation restricting portion for contacting the propeller body. Free rotation of the propeller body in casting can be restricted by a simple structure wherein the rotation restricting portion contacts the propeller body and the rotary shaft engages with the propeller body such that the propeller body is unrotatable with respect to the rotary shaft.

Abstract: A decoy pull line actuating apparatus includes an apparatus base, an apparatus frame carried by the apparatus base and an arm actuating motor carried by the apparatus frame. A pull arm assembly includes an arm linkage drivingly engaged for rotation by the arm actuating motor, an actuating arm drivingly engaged for reciprocation by the arm linkage and a pull arm pivotally carried by the apparatus frame and drivingly engaged for reciprocation by the actuating arm.

Abstract: A fishing lure includes a body in non-metallic material having a front end and a rear end; a first attaching means or loop arranged at the front end; a second attaching means or loop arranged at the rear end; a longitudinal connecting rod passing through the body and connecting the first attaching means with the second attaching means; wherein the lure comprises at least one hole arranged in the body between the front end and the rear end, and wherein the connecting rod passes through the hole.

Abstract: A pliable fishing lure assembly includes a lure body including a leading portion and a trailing portion joined by a connecting hinge portion. A pliable, spinnable appendage is connected for unrestrained 360° rotation to the lure body by a swivel mechanism. The lure body can bend or fold into a U-shaped form at the hinge portion. A hook through the leading portion includes a protruding barbed end on one side of the leading portion and a protruding eye on the opposite side of the leading portion. The lure assembly is formed from a neutrally buoyant or close to neutrally buoyant material. During a glide, the lure body can straighten out at the hinge portion, and the pliable, neutrally buoyant spinnable appendage does not interfere with the weighting and buoyancy of the lure body and does not add excessive drag in the water to the assembly.

Abstract: A fishing lure includes an inner member and a sheath. The inner member is positioned in the sheath with a bottom wall of the inner member facing an open end of the sheath. A closed end of the sheath, a perimeter wall of the inner member and the bottom wall of the inner member define an interior space. Openings are provided in the bottom wall. A primary hook is inserted through the closed end of the sheath and the open end of the inner member. The hook extends through the perimeter wall and a peripheral wall of the sheath such that a point of the hook is positioned outside of the sheath. A weighted capsule is positioned in the interior space. A scent producing material is releases a scent through the openings in the bottom wall of the inner member and the open end of the sheath.

Abstract: A fishing lure that includes an adjustable head member statically coupleable in a first and second position, about an axis of rotation, to a body member. The body member has a vertical centerline plane. The adjustable head comprises a steering bill member projecting therefrom in a first direction. When the adjustable head member is in the first position, the first direction of the steering bill member is directed away from a first side of the centerline plane to steer the fishing lure, when moved through water, in a first steering direction. When the adjustable head member is in the second position, the first direction is directed away from a second side of the vertical centerline plane opposite the first side of the vertical centerline plane to steer the fishing lure, when moved through water, in a second steering direction.

Abstract: A fishing lure and spinner blade designed in a helical form that rotates in a free form fashion or in an inline application. The “Tornado or Funnel” appearance of the blade as it spins through the water can be regulated by the speed of the retrieval, size of the blades and number of rotations on the spinner blade, which give a consistent spinning experience at any retrieval speed and level. The blades are affixed through split rings and swivels on varying spinner bait wire forms and spin effortlessly at high very slow to high retrieval rates and upon natural free falling through the water. The inline technology uses the tornado design to employ a dependable and effortless spinning motion around the axis of the wire form, and a streamlined spinner that doesn't need to have the blades set by applying force to the lure before spinning commences.

Abstract: A rotating artificial bait in body of artificial bait, it is put together with half-sectioned bait shell, isolated layers with proper room are formed inside, isolated layer and block & arc slot at center of shell can embed in tip of mandrel of passive vane and active rotating vane with mandrel, so that passive vane is built in middle of spacial groove, active rotating vane is fixed in two sides of shell so as to make a coaxial core but not communicating each other, in addition, put several ball beads inside spacial groove so that ball beads can move close to vane of passive vane, magnets are fixed at end of passive vane and active rotating vane respectively; these magnets can produce mutual magnetic attraction so that active rotating vane can drive passive vane to rotate synchronously and let vane of passive vane collide ball bead successively, the collision may produce sound frequency to attract fish and eye-like vivid effect, therefore, it may promote possibility of attracting big fish to eat bait.

Abstract: An artificial fishing lure which has a pair of interconnected tumblers. The tumblers are to rotate when the fishing lure is moved through water which is to be an attractant to a fish to induce striking of the lure. By the interconnecting of the tumblers, the tumblers are always rotated at the same speed but in opposite directions thereby balancing the movement of the tumblers on the lure assuring that the lure always moves in an upright position through the water and does not turn over which would twist the fishing line to which the lure is attached.

Abstract: A bait for trolling, constituted of a significantly cylindrical, although slightly barrel-shaped, hollow and frontally open body (1). On the inside thereof, a cone-shaped core (3) is assembled in which, by means of a shaft (5), a freely rotational propeller (6) is assembled. The body is provided with a plurality of side holes (7) connecting with the inside.

Abstract: A fishing lure is formed of three principal parts, including a bullet-shaped nose section having a reduced diameter part toward the rear including an axial bore, a rear or plug section having a reduced diameter forward section which is a press fit into the axial bore, and a centrally positioned spinner consisting of an annular member surrounding said reduced diameter part and having highly reflective fins secured to its exterior surface. Grooves formed in the ends of the spinner serve as bearing races and bearings are located in the grooves to aid in causing the spinner to rotate freely when the lure is pulled through the water causing the fins to spin and flash in the light. The plug section has a collar of approximately the same diameter as the exterior surface of the spinner and a slightly reduced diameter toward the rear to accommodate a plastic streamer. The collar prevents direct impingement of the water against the forward edge of the streamer.
