20090211143 | HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE FISHING LURE - A maneuverable fishing lure for attachment to a fishing line includes a lure body including a first end and a second end. An attachment means joins to the fishing line where a retrieval of the fishing line imparts motion on the lure through water. A rudder is pivotally joined to the lure body proximate to the first end. The rudder is pivotal between a first position and a second position about a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to an axis extending through the first end and the second end. With the rudder in the first position, the motion causes the lure to travel through the water in a first direction. With the rudder in the second position, the motion causes the lure to and travel through the water in a second direction. A change in the motion causes the rudder to pivot between the first position and the second position. | 08-27-2009 |
20100011653 | STEERABLE FISHING LURE - 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. | 01-21-2010 |

20130081319 | Fish Lure - Fish lure includes a flexible body having a forward body having maximum width and weight tapering to an aft body having reduced width and height; and a swimming tail portion flexibly connected to the aft body, wherein the swimming tail is flared, wherein the tail increases in width and height toward a tail tip as compared with the aft body portion, and a central channel groove generally parallel to a long axis of the lure, the long axis being normal to both width and height of the lure, the channel groove extending to the tail tip and maintaining a smaller width dimension as compared to adjacent flared portions of the tail, wherein water flow across the tail is guided through the channel groove and across the flared portions of the tail to provide vertically-balanced water flow across the tail and to produce a uniform horizontal swimming movement of the tail. | 04-04-2013 |
20150007483 | Bladed Fishing Lure - A bladed weighted fishing lure is provided in which the blade is designed to oscillate side-to-side during retrieval and is loosely, but securely affixed to a wireform. The wireform includes an inferior portion that is rigidly secured to a weighted body and includes a medially placed feature for attachment of a fishing line. The weighted lure body includes a forward end and a back end. The oscillating action of the blade creates a unique motion of the weighted lure body creating two degrees of freedom. The first degree of freedom results from the side-to-side blade motion affecting a like side-to-side motion in the weighted lure body through the rigidly attached wireform. The second degree of freedom results from the loosely attached blade, having sufficient mass that as it oscillates side-to-side, as it comes in contact with the wireform creating a “hammer” effect during each oscillation, the resulting contact is transferred through the wireform and rigidly attached weighted lure body to create a laterally opposing side-to-side motion in the front portion and back portion of the lure. A hook may be attached to the weighted lure body. | 01-08-2015 |

20140290119 | HIGHLY EFFECTIVE FISHING SPOON LURE WITH COST EFFECTIVE FABRICATION - Fishing needs baits and especially live baits are very attractive, however, availability of live baits is unpredictable. So artificial fishing lures are a sure way to successful fishing. One of the most popular lures is a fishing spoon for predatory fish. In addition to classic squid spoons, many variations are widely used. The new invented spoon has only two parts, a flat semi-rigid spoon body and a hook. Although the two parts are assembled without any tools, effectiveness of the spoon is no less than the best spoon available. The punched thin metal or plastics spoon body remains flat without a hook. The spoon body with a hook forms gentle curved shape which mimics bait fish swimming at high speed when trolling. The cost of the invented spoon is a fraction of the prior art fishing spoons. | 10-02-2014 |
20090094879 | Fishing Lure - 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. | 04-16-2009 |

20150342166 | Fishing lure with a built-in, spring-loaded, adjustable diving and release apparatus - A fishing lure with a spring-loaded, adjustable diving and release apparatus built in to the diving bill that allows the elimination of the diving plane when certain release events occur that would cause a disengagement of the apparatus built into the diving bill. The events that would cause this release to occur would be, but are limited to, 1) the fisherman jerking the line to cause the release in order to retrieve the fishing lure with relative ease while trolling said fishing lure behind a moving boat, 2) a fish strike that would then create a direct line to fish connection, eliminating any pressure points the diving bill might create allowing the fish to work itself free of the hooks, and 3) striking an obstruction on the bottom of the water column that might otherwise cause the fishing lure to snag or entangle in the obstruction. | 12-03-2015 |
