Abstract
A fishing lure assembly is disclosed which comprises a blade free to oscillate, yaw and produce a trailing wake as the fishing lure assembly is displaced through water. A weight is affixed to the fishing lure assembly, but affixed to an associated wireform where it is inferiorly disposed relative to the blade such that the blade is free to oscillate and have side-to-side action, substantially unaffected by mass and inertia of the weight. The fishing lure may be variably constructed to include one or more hooks and artificial or natural soft bait and hard bait bodies which are disposed to follow behind the trailing wake of the blade. A compound lure is disclosed wherein the weight is replaced by a jig hook.
Claims5
A fishing lure comprising:
- a wireform comprising a plurality of bends and a tag end which form a releasible clasp having two associated legs forward from an aft loop, said wireform further comprising a forward loop whereat a fishing line is affixed and an inferiorly distending shaft, when drawn through water, forwardly disposed relative to said clasp an associated blade member;
- the blade member comprising only two medially disposed holes through which the legs of said wireform are individually disposed and by which side-to-side action is imposed upon the wireform when the lure is displaced through water;
- a fishhook assembly comprising an associated shaft and a connector disposed on the forward end of said shaft, said connector being securely, but pivotally affixed to said aft loop to be effected by side-to-side displacement of said wireform;
- a weight affixed to the inferior end of the distending shaft such that the weight provides inertial mass for stabilizing said lure in water, but does not substantially affect side-to-side blade oscillation and resulting action of said fishhook assembly.
