Abstract
A fishers lure comprising a plug that is weightable with internal weighting, and a trapezoidal shaped blade with an upturned nose and rounded front corners.
Claims16
A fishers lure comprising:
- a rigid plastic body;
- and
- a blade,
- wherein the blade is movably attached to the rigid plastic body;
- wherein the plastic body has a fixed weight for buoyancy control;
- wherein the blade has a multiple sided shape, with rounded front corners and an upturned nose;
- wherein the blade is movably attached to the body by a loop on the body, said loop being just above said fixed weight, and when the lure is pulled through the water said blade swivels laterally, and wherein said plastic body has a cavity containing rattle weights which move laterally in the cavity and rattle as the body moves laterally, wherein said blade and said body are attached to a fishing line by an eye, and said eye includes at least one wire connector leg that connects the eye to the blade, and the wire connector leg can pivot relative to the blade, and said eye is spaced from said blade, and said blade assumes an unstable position perpendicular to a length of the body as the lure is pulled through the water by said line in a direction perpendicular to the lateral movement of the body, and wherein in said unstable position of said blade said eye is above said loop and said loop is above said fixed weight and said fixed weight is in front of the cavity and said cavity includes a curved bottom surface such that as said rattle weights move laterally they will travel up and down the curved surface.

A fishers lure comprising:
- a lure body;
- and
- a blade,
- wherein the blade is attached by a first loop to the lure body at a front portion of said lure body;
- wherein the lure body has a fixed weight weights for buoyancy control;
- wherein the blade has a first planar portion having a first attachment point for a fishing line and a second attachment point receiving said first loop, said second attachment point spaced from said first attachment point, said blade having a second portion connected to said first planar portion at a bend, said second portion being on an opposite side of said first attachment point from said lure body and, wherein said first attachment point is adjacent said fixed weight, and wherein said lure body has a cavity containing rattle weights which move laterally in the cavity and rattle as the body moves laterally,
- wherein said blade is attached to a fishing line by an eye, and said eye includes at least one connector leg that connects the eye to the blade at said first attachment point, and the at least one connector leg can pivot relative to the blade, and the eye is spaced from said blade, and said blade assumes an unstable position perpendicular to a length of the body as the lure is pulled through water by said line in a direction perpendicular to the lateral movement of said body, and wherein in said unstable position of said blade said eye is above said loop and said loop is above said fixed weight and said fixed weight is in front of the cavity and said cavity includes a curved bottom surface curved in a lateral direction of said body such that as said rattle weights move laterally they will travel up and down the curved surface.

A fishers lure comprising:
- a lure body;
- and
- a blade,
- wherein the blade is attached to said body by a first loop at a front portion of said lure body;
- wherein the blade has a first planar portion having a first attachment point for a fishing line and a second attachment point receiving said first loop, said second attachment point spaced from said first attachment point, said blade having a second blade portion connected to said first planar portion, said second blade portion being on an opposite side of said first attachment point from said lure body, wherein said first attachment portion causes said first planar portion to travel through the water in a direction at an angle of attack relative to said lure body, wherein said first portion and said second portion are not co-planar and wherein said body has a cavity containing rattle weights which move laterally in the cavity and rattle as the body moves laterally,
- wherein said blade is attached to a fishing line by an eye, and the eye includes at least one connector leg that connects the eye to the blade at said first attachment point, and the at least one connector leg can pivot relative to the blade, and the eye is spaced from said blade and said blade assumes an unstable position perpendicular to a length of the body as the lure is pulled through water by said line in a direction perpendicular to the lateral movement of the body and wherein in said unstable position of said blade said eye is above said loop and said loop is above said fixed weight and said fixed weight is in front of the cavity and said cavity includes a curved bottom surface such that as said rattle weights move laterally they will travel up and down the curved surface.
