  • Fishing lure assembly
    Patent number: 5560141
    Abstract: A fishing lure assembly is provided which includes a pair of floatable lures for attachment to a fishing rod line for casting. Each of the lures have a hook for impaling fish and the proximal or front lure is lighter in weight than the terminal or rear lure to maximize the casting ability of the user. The proximal lure includes an internal triangularly shaped wire web which provides structural integrity to the three eyelets thereon. Two of the eyelets are for line tying and the third eyelet allows convenient affixing of a hook. An intermediate flexible line allows the two lures to be spaced apart approximately 0.5 meters to increase the chances of two fish being simultaneously caught.
