The lower portion of the body (6) having a lighter coloration (7). The middle portion of the body (6) having a textured surface area resembling scales (8). The mouth (9) includes a wire coil (41) which attaches the pliable bait minnow (1) to the hook (10).
Claims11
A fish lure having a unit of integral fish form having a natural spastic action of a crippled fish when jerked through the water by a hook and line, consisting of:
- a translucent textured body portion including a tail attached at one end of said body portion and a head attached at the other end of said body portion;
- said head adapted to include a mouth portion;
- fins attached to said textured body portion;
- said integral fish form having a specific gravity equal to that of water and giving said integral fish form a neutral buoyancy;
- light reflective particles dispersed within said textured body portion;
- and
- said textured body portion having a pliable thin tapered shape, and adapted so that when jerked through the water a wave-like ripple movement travels down said body;
- and
- means for attaching said fish lure to said hook screwed into said mouth.
A lure to fish hook arrangement, such arrangement comprising:
- a substantially coplanar fish hook, said fish hook including a shank, said shank having a base and said base being substantially bowl shaped, a hook point including, a hook point barb attached to said shank;
- an eye attached to one end of said shank and on an opposite end to said hook point;
- a fish lure attached to said hook and in closer proximity to said hook point barb consisting of a translucent textured body portion including a tail attached at one end of said textured body portion and a head attached at the other end of said textured body portion, said fish lure having a specific gravity equal to that of water and giving said integral fish form a neutral buoyancy, said head adapted to include a mouth portion, fins attached to said textured body portion, light reflective particles dispersed within said textured body portion, said textured body portion having a pliable thin tapered shape, and adapted so that when jerked through the water a wave-like ripple movement travels down said textured body portion;
- said hook point barb having a linear surface;
- said hook having means for attaching said fish lure to said hook and means for attaching including a coil screwed into the mouth portion of said fish lure allowing free and natural movement of said fish lure;
- and
- said hook having means for restricting the movement of said fish lure along said fish shank while keeping said fish lure in close proximity with said linear surface of said hook point barb.
