Abstract
A fishing lure includes a head, a body coupled to the head, and a tail. The head, the body, and the tail define a longitudinal centerline. The tail includes a tail body having a first end coupled to the body and an opposing second end, and a tail fin coupled to the opposing second end of the tail body. The tail fin has a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall that (i) extend vertically and laterally outward from the opposing second end of the tail body along a curved profile and (ii) terminate at a rear edge of the tail fin. Each of the first sidewall and the opposing second sidewall defines a notch that (i) extends (a) along the longitudinal centerline and (b) at least partially into the tail fin and (ii) separates the curved profile of the tail fin into an upper lobe and a lower lobe.
