  • Patent number: 5974723
    Abstract: The fishing lure is comprised a fishing hook (20) molded into a weighted head (22) covered by a filament skirt (34). A hollow hook arm (42) is attached to the hook and has a loop (44) on the end. A wire weed guard (46) is planar with the hook and disposed within the hollow hook arm to protect the hook from entanglement with vegetation. The hook arm and guard are bent into a bow shape and a blade arm (52) having a noise producing blade (56) is pivotally attached to the loop. A spinner (64) is also attached to the loop with a swivel (66). The lure will buzz, throb, flutter, wiggle and stabilize in a path just below the waters surface while permitting the blade to rotate upon the waters surface for audibly and visibly attracting game fish. A second embodiment replaces the hollow hook arm with a single wire (76) that includes both the hook arm and wire guard.
