Abstract

The present invention replaces the conventional spinning blade with a Cobra spoon and eliminates the clevis. Cobra spoon has a head and a wing. The wing has a convex and a concave surface. The head of the spoon is bent against concave surface of the wing to form an angle of 120 degrees, not less than 90 degrees. The Cobra coastlock snap with a proximal eyelet, a main long arm, a secondary short arm, and a distal eyelet supports all lure's components. The proximal eyelet is attached to the line. The body weight, the bead, and Cobra spoon are mounted directly on main arm. The secondary arm in closed position locks the body weight, sustains the bead, which is the bearing for Cobra spoon, and secures the hook in distal eyelet. The Cobra coastlock snap in open position releases the hook and gives a fisherman the possibility to choose any hook or fly in accordance with fishing circumstances.

A fishing lure comprising:

a) A Cobra coastlock snap including a proximal eyelet, a distal eyelet, a main long arm, and a short secondary arm. The length proportion between main long arm and secondary short arm of coastlock snap is 2:1.
b) A line attachment eyelet disposed at the proximal end of main long arm of coastlock snap.
c) Fishing lure's elements:
body weight, bead, and Cobra spoon mounted directly on main arm of coastlock snap. In open position of coastlock snap the lure's elements are slideable on main arm.
d) A Cobra spoon with an angle of 120 degrees between head and wing, not less than 90 degrees, and with a convex and concave surface of the wing. Cobra spoon is mounted directly on main arm of coastlock snap with concave surface of wing facing the body lure. The centered hole of spoon's head will be at least 1.0 mm in diameter.
e) A bead mounted on main arm of coastlock snap to be the bearing for spoon.
f) A body lure including the body weight, the distal half of main arm, and the secondary arm of coastlock snap which in closed position will secure the body weight.
g) A fishing hook attachment eyelet disposed at distal end, formed from main arm and secondary arm of coastlock snap. In open position of coastlock snap the hook will be released to be changed with any type of hook.
