## Abstract

Disclosed is a counter rotating fishing lure that comprises a body section having an open center, a leading edge, a trailing edge and a pair of fins that create body rotation when fluid flows thereover. Within the open center of the body region is a freely rotating member rotatably mounted to the body region and having a pair of trailing edge fins to induce a rotation in an opposite direction of the body section. This creates a counter rotating lure as the lure is drawn through the water, while its surfaces may be adorned with various designs, textures and treatments that attract attention while in the water. The leading edge of the lure is adapted to connect to a barrel swivel and towing fishing line, while the trailing edge is adapted to connect to a fishing hook to snare a fish.

## Claims

### Claim 1

1) A fishing lure device, comprising:
a body portion having a leading end, a trailing end and an open interior;
said body portion trailing end having a first and second fin projecting out of plane from said body portion to induce rotation of said body as fluid travels thereover;
a freely rotating internal element having a leading and trailing end within said body portion open interior supported by a first and second swivel joint at its leading and trailing end.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

2) The device of claim 1, wherein said internal element trialing end further comprises a first and second fin projecting out of plane from said internal element to induce rotation opposite of said body rotation.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

3) The device of claim 1, wherein said body portion and internal element further comprise a surface treatment that increases light reflectivity.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

4) The device of claim 1, wherein said body leading end further comprises an aperture to connect to a barrel swivel.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

6) The device of claim 1, wherein said body leading end further comprises an aperture to connect to a fishing line.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

7) The device of claim 1, wherein said body trailing end further comprises an aperture to connect to a fishing hook.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

8) The device of claim 1, wherein said body portion further comprises surface adornments to disguise said body portion as a prey fish.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

9) The device of claim 1, wherein said body portion further comprises a generally tapering shape from said trailing end to said leading end.
