Abstract

A fishing lure is set forth as a tube organization that mimics movement and swimming of an eel as it is supported from a moving boat in a trolling procedure. The organization is defined by at least a plurality of tubes that are secured together by a swivel to effect a twisting to mimic motion of an eel in swimming. Swivel connections are utilized for securement of fishing line and mounted between various components of the organization in use.

A fish lure apparatus, comprising in combination,

a first resilient tube spaced from a second resilient tube, the first resilient tube including a first tube rear beveled end oriented at an oblique angle relative to the first axis of the first tube, and the first tube including a first tube forward end oriented generally orthogonally relative to the first axis, and
the second tube including a second tube rear end, with the second tube defined by a second tube axis, the second tube axis orthogonally oriented relative to the second tube rear end, and the second tube including a second tube forward beveled end oriented at an oblique angle relative to the second tube axis, and
a first flexible line member directed through the first tube extends from the first tube rear beveled end and is secured to a first loop, the first flexible line member extending through the first tube from the first loop and terminating in a second loop spaced exteriorly of the first tube forward end, and
the second loop including a snap connection mounted thereto, the snap connection including a second flexible line mounted thereto, the second flexible line extending from the snap connection through the second tube and terminating in a second line hook loop connector within the second tube, with the second line hook mounted to the second line hook loop connector, the second line hook including a shank contained within the second tube and the second line hook member including a second hook member barb end extending laterally from the second tube projecting from the second tube forward beveled end, and
including a third flexible line mounted to the second hook loop, and the third line extending exteriorly of the second tube from the second tube forward beveled end, with a third line hook member mounted to the third flexible line, the third hook member positioned exteriorly of the second flexible tube, and
wherein a fourth flexible line is mounted to the snap connection, and the fourth flexible line extends from the snap connection to a fourth line loop, and the fourth line loop mounts a fourth line first hook member thereto, the fourth line first hook member extending exteriorly of the first tube and the second tube, and
a first slider ring slidably mounted about the first tube, the first slider ring arranged for securement of the fourth line first hook, and a second slide ring slidably mounted to the second tube, the second slider ring arranged for securement of the third line hook within the second slider ring.
