  • Patent number: 6560914

The lure is jointed at its midsection to enhance the life-like swimming action. The body section of the lure includes a throat section that shifts the water impact point as the lure is pulled trough the water to a bottom portion of the lure, causing the lure to swim in a side-to-side motion. The lure can be retrieved steadily as a swimming lure or fished with a swim and stop action as a finesses bait, or twitched erratically as a wounded bait fish.
