Abstract
An artificial fishing lure which simulates the appearance of live bait swimming in the water. The leading end of the lure is provided with a symmetrical scoop configuration and a transverse trough which together cause the lure to roll and pivot in the water. A spinner assembly for the lure includes a spinner blade and a harness to which the lure is attached in a flexible manner to permit it to move with a swimming type motion.
Claims9
An underwater fishing lure comprising:
- a lure body having a leading end when traveling through water;
- a substantially flat surface on the leading end of said lure body, said surface being inclined from vertical at a rearwardly inclined angle from bottom to top of the surface when the lure travels through water;
- a rim section extending substantially around the periphery of said surface and projecting forwardly thereof, said rim section including a pair of spaced side walls projecting forwardly on opposite sides of said surface;
- and
- a semicircular trough extending between said side walls and presenting a generally transverse recess in said surface for directing water against said side walls to simultaneously create a side-to-side movement about the vertical axis of the lure and an oscillating movement about the longitudinal axis of the lure when traveling through water.
