Offset axis spinnerbait

A fishing lure attachable to a fishing line for movement through water in a fishing direction, the fishing lure comprising:

• a first section including:
• a leading end that is configured for attachment to the fishing line, and
• a trailing end opposite the leading end;
• a spinner blade coupled to the first section for rotation about a spinner axis;
• a second section in a trailing position relative to the first section during the movement of the fishing lure through the water,
• wherein a central axis of the second section is offset from the spinner axis in a direction that is perpendicular to the fishing direction, and
• wherein the second section is weighted such that the second section travels at a depth in the water that is deeper than a depth of the first section during the movement of the fishing lure through the water;
• a transition section connecting the trailing end of the first section to the second section;
• and
• a fishing hook coupled to the second section.

A fishing lure attachable to a fishing line for movement through water in a fishing direction, the fishing lure comprising:

• a first section configured for attachment to a fishing line and defining a spinner axis;
• a spinner blade rotatably coupled to the first section for rotation about the spinner axis;
• a second section in a trailing position relative to the first section during the movement of the fishing lure through the water,
• wherein the second section defines a central axis that is axially offset from the spinner axis in a direction perpendicular to the fishing direction;
• a transition section connecting the first section to the second section;
• and
• a fishing hook coupled to the second section,
• wherein during the movement of the fishing lure through the water, the spinner blade rotates about the spinner axis and repeatedly strikes at least one of the transition section and the second section without changing a direction of rotation to generate sound.
