Abstract

An improved fishing lure which includes a segmented metallic body designed to enhance fish attraction is described. The lure body is divided into at least two sections by an oblique diagonal split line or offset positioned approximately two-thirds from the head end, enabling for rotational and oscillatory movement of the tail section relative to the head section via a coupling mechanism such as a split ring(s) or swivel connector. One or more treble hooks are mounted at the tail end and optionally along the sides, generating underwater noise upon contact with the body. In one embodiment, the lure includes three segments with dual diagonal splits for complex, lifelike motion. The lure surface incorporates reflective materials and geometric or holographic markings to increase visibility in both cold and warm water environments. The lure is operable at varying retrieval speeds and motion patterns to simulate distressed or injured prey.

Dependent claims

A fishing lure comprising:

a lure body having a first body section, a second body section, and a diagonal split line between said first body section and said second body section;
and
a coupling member;
wherein said lure body having a longitudinal axis between a head end and a tail end of said lure body;
wherein said diagonal split line dividing said lure body into said first body section and said second body section;
wherein said first body section having a first length and said second body section having a second length;
wherein said first length comprising from 60 percent to 70 percent of an overall length of said lure body;
wherein said diagonal split line is oblique to said longitudinal axis forming an angle between 30 degrees and 60 degrees relative to said longitudinal axis of said lure body;
wherein said first body section having at least a first aperture proximal to a rearward terminal edge of said first body section;
wherein said second body section having at least a second aperture proximal to a forward terminal edge of said second body section;
wherein said coupling member passes through said first aperture and said second aperture to selectively attach said first body section and said second body section;
and
further wherein said coupling member selected from the group consisting of a first split ring and a first swivel connector for rotational and oscillatory movement of said second body section relative to said first body section.
