  • Patent number: 6640485
    Abstract: A low surface area profile fishing lure made of a generally two-dimensional frame. The frame bounds an opening shaped like the body of a fish, a tail portion and an eye portion. A propeller-like member associated with the tail portion and secured by a tube-like element causes the lure to spin when it is retrieved. An aperture in the tail portion provides a way to attach a fish hook, with or without a fish attractant. The eye portion has at least one loop where a fishing line can be attached as can a fish hook, also with or without a fish attractant. The hook attached to the eye portion is stabilized by a flexible sleeve on which is affixed at least one artificial eye. In the preferred embodiment, the eye portion is located interiorly of said opening shaped like the body of a fish.
