Abstract
A flexible artificial fishing lure comprising a lure body and a pair of legs extending from the lure body, wherein each leg has an upper leg portion attached to the lure body and a lower leg portion extending rearward of the upper leg portion. Each lower leg portion tapers inwardly such that the thickness of each lower leg portion gradually decreases from an outer edge toward an inner edge. According to this design, the lower leg portions have greater weight along the outer edge than along the inner edge. In operation, the lower leg portions move multi-dimensionally as the lure is pulled through the water, thereby creating substantial motion and concomitant vibrations for attracting fish.
Claims6
A fishing lure, comprising:
- a. a body;
- and
- b. at least one leg attached to said body, wherein said at least one leg comprises a first portion attached to said body and a second portion extending rearward from said first portion;
- c. wherein said second portion comprises an outer edge, an inner edge, a top substantially planar surface, and a bottom substantially planar surface, wherein said top and bottom surfaces continuously converge from said outer edge toward said inner edge in a substantially linear manner such that the thickness and weight of said second portion continuously decreases from said outer edge toward said inner edge, and wherein said top surface and said bottom surface each have a single slope between said outer edge and said inner edge.
A fishing lure, comprising:
- a. a body;
- and
- b. a plurality of legs attached to said body, wherein each leg comprises a first portion attached to said body and a second portion extending rearward from said first portion;
- wherein each said second portion comprises an outer edge, an inner edge, a top substantially planar surface, and a bottom substantially planar surface, wherein said top and bottom surfaces continuously converge from said outer edge toward said inner edge in a substantially linear manner such that the thickness and weight of said second portion continuously decreases from said outer edge toward said inner edge, and wherein said top surface and said bottom surface each have a single slope between said outer edge and said inner edge.
