An artificial fishing lure of resilient material having a body portion and a flexible, elongate tail. The tail possesses a curved configuration, being attached to the aft end of the body portion. The tail is thin and essentially flat when the tail is in a curved configuration, but it assumes a relatively straight configuration when the lure is moved through the water. A plurality of tassels are affixed in a spaced relationship along a long edge of the tail, with the tassels being relatively flexible and adapted to move with the tail at the time the tail undertakes a highly desirable undulating motion. The tassels cause the tail to give off vibrations attractive to fish. This lure is ideal for use when fishing for Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass, but it is also quite suitable for use with species such as Stripe Bass and Wall Eye.
An artificial fishing lure of resilient material, said lure having a body portion and a flexible, elongate tail, said tail possessing a curved configuration and attached to the aft end of said body portion, said tail being relatively thin and essentially flat when said tail is in a curved configuration, but undertaking undulating motion when said lure is moved through the water and said tail is caused to move into a relatively straight configuration, and a plurality of tassels affixed along one of the long edges of said tail, said tassels being relatively flexible and adapted to move with said tail at the time said tail undertakes undulating motion, said tassels causing said tail to give off vibrations attractive to fish.
