  • Patent number: 10932456
    Abstract: A blade body of a fishing lure comprises a first protruding side and a second protruding side, creating a gap, and a jig body connected to the blade body such that when the blade body and jig body are connected and pulled through water, the blade body moves in a side to side motion limited by contact between the jig body and the first and second protruding sides.

  • Patent number: 9561906
    Abstract: A multiple pronged hook assembly has hook shafts that can be rotated and locked into desired positions individually, independent from the other hook shafts and is sealed free from outside elements, dirt, or liquid. A junction body securely encloses shafts of planetary hooks with a cylindrical opening to rotatably accommodate a cylindrical shaft of at least one circumferentially rotatable hook. A plunger rod has a rigging aperture at a top. A bottom end of the plunger is slidably disposed within a center of the junction body between the shafts of the plurality of planetary hooks to rotatably lock the at least one circumferentially rotatable hook when the plunger rod is in an up position and rotatably unlock the at least one circumferentially rotatable hook when the plunger rod is in a down position.

  • Publication number: 20100101138
    Abstract: A fishing lure that includes a bait head, bait body and an attachable action lip, where the lure can provide a realistic swimming action or a twitching or jerking motion when used for jigging. The action lip is mounted in a bowed attitude between a bait head rearwardly pointing lip stop wire and at a lip center keyhole opening that is fitted onto an eyelet that extends from the bait head nose, where the lip stop wire is mounted to extend rearwardly from a bait head rear lower edge, with the bait head nose eyelet to receive a fishing line attached thereto.

  • Patent number: 7493724
    Abstract: A fishing lure oscillator, comprising a bent, oblonged, essentially elliptical foil having relatively uniform thickness. Near one end of the foil, a connection is made to an appendage, and near the opposite end of the foil a connection is made to another appendage. Both appendages, serving as a framing device to support the foil, originate from a common base which is adapted to be joined with a fishing lure. When joined with a lure and pulled through a body of water, an outwardly contoured portion of the foil is disposed directly against the flow of water whereby the force of water against the resisting face of the foil causes the foil to pivot freely within the framing device, thus transferring the resulting oscillation to the lure for the purpose of attracting and catching fish.

  • Patent number: 6665977
    Abstract: A spinnerbait lure includes a chain, flexible tubing thereover, a blade coupled to one end of the chain, and a skirted lead head hook located at or adjacent the other end of the chain. An eyelet is coupled to a central portion of the chain and extends through a hole in the tubing for attachment of fishing line. When relaxed, the spinnerbait lure assumes a substantially elongate configuration. When pulled through the water, the lure assumes a V-shaped configuration caused by the water pressure against the ends of the lure on either side of the eyelet. Then, when slack is provided to the fishing line, the lure assumes again an elongate configuration, and “helicopters” through the water, with the blade rotating to affect the lure's descent, creating a movement attractive to fish. As soon as the fishing line is pulled taut, the lure again assumes the V-shaped configuration.
