Abstract
A fishing lure comprising a body having a nose, a tail and a horizontal center line. There is an emergent lip of an inverted trapezoidal shape attached to the body. The emergent lip is adjacent to the nose of the body at approximately a 45° angle to the centerline. The body of the lure includes one or more weights secured in cavities in the body, which causes the lure to sink in the water when at rest and retain the emergent lip up right when under water. The emergent lip causes the lure to rise in the water when the lure is pulled by fishing line attached to an eyelet on the nose of the body between the emergent lip and the centerline. A lure according to this invention further includes one or more eyelets on the body for attachment of fishhooks.
Claims14
A fishing lure consisting of:
- a body having a nose, a tail, and a topside and a bottom side;
- a weight secured in a cavity in the bottom side near the nose of the body disposed in said body so that said emergent lip remains on top when said lure is in the water and said lure sinks in the water when said lure is at rest;
- an eyelet attached to the body for attachment of a fishing line;
- and
- an emergent lip attached on the topside near the nose of the body, said lip being substantially flat, having a shape that is substantially an inverted trapezoid and attached to said body at an angle to the topside selected to cause the lure to rise towards the water's surface and make a swimming motion when the lure is pulled forwardly at the eyelet.
