Abstract:

This fishing lure is heavier than water or has a greater specific gravity than water and thus, the same will sink in water to be fished. The lure has an elongated body having two spaced apart, parallel, side surface portions and two end surface portions connected with said side surface portions. Each side surface face connects with one end surface portion at an acute angle and with the other end surface at an obtuse angle. The opposite side surface face connects with the one end surface portion at an obtuse angle and with the other end portion at an acute angle. The lure body tapers toward both ends and thus the mid portion is sufficiently relatively heavy so that in sinking, the lure remains substantially level and does not sink with either end portion pointing downwardly. As the lure body tends to remain level as the same sinks, the acute angle between an end surface portion and a side surface member facilitates turning or angular movement of the fishing lure about its longitudinal axis as the same sinks. The wobbling and turning motions of the lure as it sinks simulates the motion of a wounded minnow and also makes sonic noises which can be heard by and which will attract fish.
