Abstract: A fishing lure imitating a bird has a body having a central long axis with equal longitudinal buoyancy, a set of two simulated eyes, groups of buoyant flexible strands each joined at one end to the body simulating extended bird wings, and a hook element disposed longitudinally through the cylindrical body with a shank extending rearward in the body along the long axis, the shank exiting the body in an upward-facing lengthwise recess, then bending forward to present a hook point.

Abstract: A fishing lure imitating a winged prey has a cylindrical body having a conical front end and a rounded rear end, one or more first groupings of flexible strands, the multi-strand groupings disposed transversely through walls of the cylindrical body and secured thereto, the free ends of each multi-strand group protruding substantially orthogonally from the cylindrical body on opposite sides to imitate bird wings, one or more second groupings of flexible strands disposed through a rear wall of the cylindrical body and secured thereto, the free end of each multi-strand grouping protruding from the rear of the cylindrical body to imitate a bird tail, and a hook assembly disposed longitudinally through the cylindrical body, the hook assembly including a shank having a closed front eyelet and a partially open rear eyelet, and a hook attached to the shank at the rear eyelet.
