Abstract: A fishing accessory with capabilities of grabbing and moving weeds or debris to leave more visibility of the fishing lure as it moves through the body of water. A hollowed-bodied fishing apparatus comprising of a main body in the shape of a frustum of a cone, consisting of a small circular top hole and a large circular bottom hole. The holes of the cone are meant to run along a fishing line and held in place by a sinker or weight. The raised lip of the apparatus is to help attach and reinforce the teeth to the main body. The teeth or grabbers are meant to be used as a means of grabbing onto weeds or debris when the apparatus is gliding through the water.

Abstract: The present invention includes improvements for fishing lures. In some embodiments, a blade of a fishing lure includes a louvered hole. The louvered hole increases the blade turning action as water moves through the hole making the lure more enticing to fish resulting in more bites/strikes. The size, shape, type, color, texture and other characteristics of the blade and the overall lure are all changeable. In a second embodiment, a lure includes one or more elongated tails. In some embodiments, the elongated tails float, spin, slow down the lure and/or generate an appearance similar to a living creature. Again, the other characteristics of the lure with elongated tails are all changeable.

Abstract: A fishing lure is disclosed comprising a lure body comprising a concave surface, and first and second slots defined in the lure body, wherein the first slot and the second slot are configured so that, when a fishing hook is placed through both of them, the fishing hook will be held in a position with the barb extending from the lure body. In certain embodiments the lure can be decorated with decals and provided with a variety of optional features.

Abstract: Disclosed are fishing lures formed from sheet material and having a cross-section which is generally a line. The lures are inexpensive, easy to manufacture, may receive a wide variety of surface treatments, and may be formed in a wide range of sizes. The “Mr. Humplay” lure has a slight asymmetry along the horizontal midline and a curved tail, which imparts a slight spiral to the overall shape and which produces a wobbling rotation and darting motion when pulled through the water and/or when subject to a current. The “Z-Bandit” includes fixedly oppositely turned vanes which produce body rotation and darting motion. The “Y-Belly” includes two mirror image wings connected to a triangular component and an upturned nose. The Y-Belly is more nearly symmetrical and produces a irregular wobbling and darting when pulled through the water and/or when subject to a current.

Abstract: Described is a fishing lure system for use with fishing line. The fishing lure system consists of a spoon shaped lure body having a convex inner surface on which is attached a hook. Centrally mounted to the convex inner surface is a bracket having a curved portion to hold a rattle. The bracket also includes an elongated portion on which is mounted a removable skirt. Attached to the top surface of the bracket is a brush guard having a plurality of filaments extending from the bracket to the hook end. A connector is attached to the lure body for connection to a fishing line. The connector may optionally consist of an elongated wire on which is mounted a propeller.

Abstract: The invention entitled “Spinnow” is a fishing lure that is shaped like a minnow. It has contours within the tail of the minnow shape that causes the lure to spin around the axis along its length when drawn through the water. The tail fins are curved perpendicularly to the length of the lure. The invention “Spinnow” is made of any hard or rigid material such as metal or any synthetic product such as some plastics. There is a fishing hook attached to the rear of the lure.

Abstract: A fishing lure and trolling flasher having front and back ends, top and bottom sides, and a beveled edge bordering the entire lure that tapers downwardly from the top to the bottom side and from the front to the back end. A front stabilizing fin parallel with the longitudinal axis includes an eyelet for connection to the end of a fishing line. A diagonal rear fin is set proximate the back end. The back end of the lure includes at least one eyelet for attachment to a tail leader. The body and fin design induce an infundibular rotational motion and whipping effect even at slow trolling speeds. Water distortion created by the lure motion produces sounds particularly attractive to predatory fish.
