Abstract: An artificial fly/lure includes a body mounted about the shank of a hook. The body is formed of an open mesh weave material secured to the hook. A plurality of open mesh woven material appendages are secured to the body. The appendages project outwardly from the body to a freely movable outer end. A flexible rod is interposed within each appendage. The appendages in several aspects form wings to enable the artificial fly/lure to be constructed in the shape of a naturally occurring fish or insert, such as a flying fish, mayfly or grasshopper. Additional appendages in the form of legs may also be provided on certain of the lures. In another aspect, the body has angularly disposed ends from a central portion which carries the shank of the hook to form the lure in the natural shape of a worm.

Abstract: An artificial fly/lure includes a body mounted about the shank of a fish hook. The body is formed of an open mesh weave body secured at one end to the shank of a fish hook and at another point to the fish hook. A plurality of open mesh woven arms are secured at a first end to the shank of the fish hook interiorly within one end of the body. The arms project outwardly from the one end of the body to a freely movable second end. A flexible rod is interposed within each arm. The arms are movable with respect to the fixed first ends when the artificial fly/lure is drawn through the water, but return to their normal curved shape when a forward pulling force is discontinued.
