  • Patent number: 5138789
    Abstract: A spinner for use on a fishing lure, and a fishing lure incorporating the spinner. The fishing lure includes a metal blank deformed to define a pair of hydrodynamic blades on one end of the metal blank. The metal blank has lugs at opposite ends thereof bent in parallel planes at substantially right angles to the plane of the blank on a first major side of the blank. The lugs have respective holes therein for receiving a spinner-supporting wire along an axis of rotation, the holes being enlarged in relation to the diameter of the wire in order to permit free rotation of the spinner on the blank. A first elongate journal is stamped from the metal blank between the lugs and extends outwardly from a second major side of the blank opposite from the first major side and extends along the axis of rotation of the spinner. The first journal extends outwardly from the second major side a distance sufficient to permit the spinner to rotate concentrically and symmetrically around the wire.
