Fishing lure

Abstract

A streamline-configured fishing lure is molded of plastic with a uniformly distributed intermixture of granular weighting material, such as limestone, in a proportion to impart to the lure a specific gravity and in consequence thereof motions in water comparable with the specific gravity and motions of lures, formerly plentifully available but generally no longer available, that were carved from natural substances such as bone, ivory and horn. A leader for this or any type of lure, whether for casting, trolling or jigging, comprises a barbed hook arranged to have the free end of its shank coupled to a line and the opposite end of the shank coupled to the lure, the shank having flexible feathers secured thereto to form a shroud surrounding the hook.
