Abstract
Detachable lure dressings having modular spinner blade assemblies and rattle chambers that mount to elastomer collars and filaments at a fishing lure. The dressings enhance the audible and visual flash characteristics of a lure. Improved spinner baits are also disclosed wherein elastomer spinner blade and/or rattle assemblies are mounted to projecting wire or plastic arms. A flexible elastomer arm having spinner blades and/or rattles mounted to swivels is particularly supported at a collar to a rigid wire form that projects from the lure.
Claims4
An elastomer dressing for a fishing lure, comprising i) a bulbous annular mounting collar, ii) a longitudinal bore that extends through a diameter of the bulbous mounting collar for attaching the dressing to a fishing lure, iii) an elastomer filament that at one end is connected to an exterior peripheral surface of the collar and extends from the peripheral surface of said collar, iv) a holder that is integrally connected to and extends from the other end of said filament and in axial alignment with a portion of said filament, and v) a spinner blade mounted to said holder, said holder further comprising an end cap having an opening in axial alignment with said portion of said filament.
A dressing for a fishing lure, comprising:
- i) a bulbous annular mounting collar;
- ii) a longitudinal bore that extends through a diameter of the bulbous mounting collar for attaching the dressing to the fishing lure, the bore having a longitudinal centerline;
- iii) an elongated filament that at one end is connected to an exterior peripheral surface of the collar at a non-zero angle relative to the centerline of the bore of said collar, the filament extending from the peripheral surface of said collar;
- and
- iv) a holder that is integrally connected to and extends from the other end of said filament and in axial alignment with a portion of said filament, said holder further comprising an end cap having an opening in axial alignment with said portion of said filament having a spinner blade thereto.
