A fishing lure system, having a side to side oscillation, has a highly snag resistant flexible diving lip. A live or artificial bait is impaled on a special tandem two-hook fish hook. The lure may be controlled as to how it descends, front end first, rear end first, or level, by special adjustable hook weights, which are secured at a selected place on the hook shaft. The weights prevent lure spin and insure proper oscillation. A soft open cell, scent dispensing foam, is impaled on either hook shaft rearwardly of a fish or creature-like head, colorful jig having scent dispensing forward portion, feathers, hair, or plastic streamers for cascading over and around the rear hook. A novel coating retards destructive paint defacing problems so that a range of colors may be mixed to better replicate a live bait, tandem hook having rigid or flexible diving lip attached, rear hook positioned up or down and replaced with work shaft eye for optional hooks.
A fishing lure comprising a tandem two-hook fish hook having a forward hook and a rearward hook, wherein both hooks are vertically aligned and coplanar, the forward hook being embedded within a flexible bait and providing a line attachment eye, the line attachment eye extending through a diving lipof the flexible bait and terminating forward thereof, the diving lip having such rigidity as to provide negligible deflection of the diving lip under the pressure of water flowing past the lure, and sufficient deflection of the diving lip when the diving lip encounters an immovable underwater object, so as to prevent the lure from being snagged thereon.
