  • Patent number: 4815233
    Abstract: A fish lure with an elongated relatively stiff yet flexible carrier member having opposed end portions, a hook member attached to one end portion of the carrier member and a fishing device such as a spinner, blade or like member attached to the opposite end portion thereof. A line attachment member is mounted for rotational movement on the carrier member and an intermediate location therealong between the opposed end portions thereof, and a stop member attached to the carrier member adjacent to the line attachment member to prevent movement of the line attachment member along the carrier member. The carrier member is able to flex away from its normal unstressed condition when any portion thereof is subjected to a lateral force, the carrier member returning to its normal unstressed condition when such lateral force is removed. Use of a relatively stiff yet flexible carrier member enables the present device to move in a more realistic and attractive manner as it is being pulled through the water.
