  • Patent number: 3987576
    Abstract: A fishing lure has an elongated flexible wire shaft having disposed at one end a line connecting eye and a hook at the opposite end. Disposed along the shaft is a lead weight which is conically shaped and which is contained within conical shaped plastic housing which forms a sound chamber, the shaft has a clevis with a spinner attached thereto behind the lead weight, and a plurality of ball shaped bearings on the shaft between the clevis and the covered lead weight. Disposed about the hook is a weed guard which is connected to the hook end and a rubber skirt which disguises the hook. The spinner, attached to the clevis, creates an uneven force around the flexible shaft when the lure is moved through the water which is transmitted along the shaft to the lead weight and the plastic cover causing the lead weight to strike the interior of the cover for generating a sound.
