Abstract: An artificial fishing lure has a stream-lined elongated body generally simulating a fish. The body has a cavity therein to receive a U-shaped member that is oriented to have two substantially parallel fins extending rearward outside of the body. The U-shaped member has a base and tab extending therefrom. The cavity is shaped to limit movement of the U-shaped member in an up and down rotational motion relative to the body. The body is formed from an upper body and a lower body. The U-shaped member is inserted into the cavity and the upper body and lower body are then affixed to one another. A method of constructing the lure is described.
