Abstract
A low surface area profile fishing lure made of a generally two-dimensional frame. The frame bounds an opening shaped like the body of a fish, a tail portion and an eye portion. A propeller-like member associated with the tail portion and secured by a tube-like element causes the lure to spin when it is retrieved. An aperture in the tail portion provides a way to attach a fish hook, with or without a fish attractant. The eye portion has at least one loop where a fishing line can be attached as can a fish hook, also with or without a fish attractant. The hook attached to the eye portion is stabilized by a flexible sleeve on which is affixed at least one artificial eye. In the preferred embodiment, the eye portion is located interiorly of said opening shaped like the body of a fish.
Claims14
A fishing lure comprising:
- (a) a generally two-dimensional wire-like frame bounding at least one opening generally elliptical in shape and enclosing at least one loop comprising an eye portion located interior to said at least one opening and a tail portion;
- (b) a propeller-like member;
- and
- (d) said tail portion comprising means to secure said propeller-like member and an aperture.
A fishing lure comprising:
- (a) a substantially two-dimensional frame shaped generally like a fish with a body portion bounding a first opening of size and shape only slightly smaller than said body portion;
- (b) an eye portion bounding at least one loop and positioned inside said body portion;
- (c) a tail portion positioned exteriorly to said body portion and opposite said eye portion and comprising a means to attach a fish attractant;
- (d) a propeller-like member with means to associate said propeller-like member with said tail portion;
- and
- (e) said tail portion further comprising a means to secure said propeller-like member;
- and
- wherein said eye portion further comprises:
- a first loop and a second loop,
- a hook attached to said second loop,
- a flexible sleeve substantially covering said eye portion, and
- at least one artificial eye affixed to said flexible sleeve to resemble live prey.
A fishing lure comprising:
- (a) a substantially two-dimensional frame shaped generally like a fish with a body portion said body portion bounding a first opening of size and shape only slightly smaller than said body portion with an exterior and an interior;
- (b) an eye portion bounding at least one loop and positioned interior of said body portion, a flexible sleeve substantially covering said eye portion and at least one artificial eye affixed to said flexible sleeve to resemble live prey;
- (c) a tail portion positioned exteriorly to said body portion and opposite said eye portion and comprising a means to attach a fish attractant;
- (d) a generally two-dimensional propeller-like member with means to associate said propeller-like member with said tail portion said means further comprising an aperture in said propeller-like member through which said tail portion is threaded;
- and
- (e) said tail portion further comprising a tube-like element positioned between said propeller-like member and said means to attach said fish attractant.
A fishing lure comprising:
- (a) a generally two-dimensional wire-like frame bounding at least one opening generally elliptical in shape and comprising an eye portion located interior to said opening and a tail portion;
- (b) a propeller-like member;
- (c) said eye portion comprising at least one loop for attaching a fishing line;
- (d) a first hook including means to attach said hook to said at least one loop in said eye portion;
- (e) said eye portion is substantially covered by a flexible sleeve for providing semi-flexible stability to said first hook;
- (f) said tail portion comprising means to secure said propeller-like member and an aperture;
- and
- (g) a second hook with means to attach said second hook to said aperture in said tail portion.
