  • Patent number: 6493984
    Abstract: A fishing lure and trolling flasher having front and back ends, top and bottom sides, and a beveled edge bordering the entire lure that tapers downwardly from the top to the bottom side and from the front to the back end. A front stabilizing fin parallel with the longitudinal axis includes an eyelet for connection to the end of a fishing line. A diagonal rear fin is set proximate the back end. The back end of the lure includes at least one eyelet for attachment to a tail leader. The body and fin design induce an infundibular rotational motion and whipping effect even at slow trolling speeds. Water distortion created by the lure motion produces sounds particularly attractive to predatory fish.
