Abstract: A dual purpose fishing lure system composed of a bent strip of metal having a hole at each end and one elongated in the mid-portion with a hook attached to the strip of metal. The lure is designed so that either end may be attached to a towing fishing line to provide two different types of action of the fishing lure. When the towing line and hook are attached at the same end and the hook passes through the elongated hole on the lure, the rear portion of the lure will spin, creating the appearance of a fluttering tail action. When the towing line is attached to the other end of the lure and the hook is removed from the central hole and allowed to drag behind while, the lure will move through the water simulating the wiggling, wobbling, darting action of a live baitfish. Regardless of where the towing line is attached, one hole is left open through which water may pass to produce fish attracting sound vibrations.
