A collapsible luring dredge device is disclosed comprising a hub assembly having a plurality of separate hub sections each adapted to hold an extended spreader bar and together joined into a stacked unit assembled along a central axis with a pair of spring-loaded detents disposed therein on opposite sides of the central axis. Inner surfaces of the hub sections at each end of the hub assembly are formed with a plurality of concave cavities arranged in a circular pattern intended to engage the detents as the hub sections are rotated about the central axis. The hub assembly may thus be selectively rotated and upon the spring-loaded engagement of the detents, moved through a set of registered positions between a deployed configuration wherein the spreader bars are maintained in a substantially radial pattern for trolling use and a folded configuration wherein the bars are substantially aligned for storage. The spreader bars are each provided with a plurality of dropper fasteners fitted along the length of each bar for suspending a respective number of teaser strips bearing baitfish images. Perforated end tips on the spreader bars are further provided to generate an increased bubble trail emanating from the ends that enhances the simulated effect of the teaser strips and increases the level of attraction to game fish.
