  • Patent number: 4163338
    Abstract: An artificial fishing lure having a spoon rotatably mounted on a wire, a housing mounted on the wire aft of the spoon and a grooved sinker weight mounted on the wire within the housing is provided such that movement of the lure through the water causes the spoon to spin for increased visibility and the weight to contact the inside walls of the housing to generate sound signals. The lure of the invention is thus visible and audible. In one embodiment of the invention a fish hook is attached to the housing. In another embodiment, the housing is a bell shaped resonator open at the aft portion and the fish hook is attached to the wire just aft of the sinker weight and resonator.
