Abstract
A fish tail fin connectable to a trailing hook of a lure, wherein the fish tail fin has a body, which has a first end directed towards a main body of the lure when connected to the lure, an opposite distal end, a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, an upper tail side and a lower tail side, said upper tail side and lower tail side diverging from each other towards the distal end, wherein the fish tail fin is configured to have a buoyancy.
Claims21
A fishing lure, comprising:
- a main body;
- a trailing hook connected to the main body by a fishing line, and
- a trailing body connected to the trailing hook,
- wherein the trailing body has a first end directed towards the main body of the fishing lure when connected to the fishing lure, an opposite distal end, a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, an upper tail side and a lower tail side, said upper tail side and lower tail side diverging from each other towards the distal end, and the trailing body comprises two symmetrical body parts spaced apart from each other on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and a hook support member interposed between the two body parts at the lower tail side, and
- wherein the trailing body further comprises a floating member interposed between the two body parts along the longitudinal axis and either a) the trailing body, or b) the trailing body and the floating member together are configured to have a buoyancy greater than the total gravity force acting on the fishing lure, wherein the body parts each have a recess at the first end and the hook support member is arranged in the recess of each of the two body parts.

A fishing lure, comprising:
- a main body;
- a trailing hook connected to the main body by a fishing line;
- a trailing body connected to the trailing hook, the trailing body has a first end directed towards the main body of the fishing lure when connected to the fishing lure, an opposite distal end, a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, an upper tail side and a lower tail side, said upper tail side and lower tail side diverging from each other towards the distal end, and the trailing body comprises two symmetrical body parts spaced apart on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and spaced from the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a hook support member arranged along the longitudinal axis and adjacent to the lower tail side of the two body parts, the hook support member is hollow and has a longitudinal slit through which the trailing hook is insertable into the hook support member, wherein the body parts each have a recess at the first end and the hook support member is arranged in the recess of each of the two body parts.
