Abstract: An artificial fishing lure of soft, pliable rubbery material having a semi-firm body and head portion and a less firm crossed-over loop tail portion. When moved through the water the resilient tail portions opens into an unstable spiral shape reversing alternately from right handed to left handed, with accompanying rocking motion of the body and head portion. Changes in the cross sectional shape and resiliency of the crossed-over loop result in different total body motions. Fishing lures having two crossed-over loop appendages with oppositely turned loops are also provided.
