  • Artificial fishing lure
    Patent number: 5638632
    Abstract: An artificial fishing lure having an elongated S-shaped body, a line attaching eyelet; and a pair of treble hooks is provided. The body includes a front head portion, a rear tail portion, a top portion, a belly portion, and two side portions. The line attaching eyelet is located at the front head portion of the body. The treble hooks are attached to the belly of the body and the rear of the body. Hydrodynamic resistance resulting from the S-shaped body causes the lure to oscillate about its longitudinal axis and follow an arcuate path through water, thus serving to attract fish.
