A Crank Bait Fishing Lure that has a predictable wobble or action. A fishing lure made from a blank of rigid material and formed to provide a predictable wobble or action in an arch or approximately 180°, having a front end and a tail end. The front end has an eylet to which a line is attached, and the tail end has an eyelet to which a hook is attached. A lure, with appendages, which is shaped to have a center of gravity that causes a wobble from left to right and from right to left, while maintaining a horizontal attitude when drawn or dropped through water, thus allowing a lure to maintain an upright attitude. The transverse bend which characterizes this shape is placed nearer the front of the lure and it's depth is approximately one third of the overall length of the lure. The degree of bend to the front end of a lure will effect the depth at which a lure will travel as it is drawn through water. Change in the elevation or plane at the tail end will alter the wobble or action slightly. A lure will maintain it's predictable motion when drawn through or dropped through water at a broad range of speeds.
A crank bait lure for catching fish, as shown and described, whether trolling, casting, or jigging, comprising a single relatively flat elongated strip of reflective, rigid material for the body with no appendages, with an eyelet at the front end to which a line has been attached, and an eyelet in the tail end to which a hook has been attached, with a transverse half-circle depression which spans the width of the elongated strip substantially completely including side edges of said elongated strip and located with the centre of the half-circle at the centre of gravity of said lure.
