Abstract
A fishing lure is provided which functions effectively in both horizontal and vertical directions of movement through water. The lure is built upon a stiff wire support, and has a buoyant member, spinner unit, weight member and lower attractor member disposed in sequence from top to bottom, respectively, upon the wire support. The relative effectiveness of the buoyant member is selected in association with the weight member and other components such that the lure, when falling through water, assumes a vertical attitude.
