  • Swivel mechanisms for fishing lures and pliable spinning appendages and fishing lure assemblies incorporating such swivel mechanisms
    Patent number: 8230639
    Abstract: Soft or pliable spinning appendages can be attached to a soft fishing lure using a swivel mechanism that provides unrestricted 360° rotation. The appendages increase attractiveness, flash, vibration, color, or scent. Due to their slow spinning speed and neutral buoyancy in water, the appendages provide unique properties to slow-moving lures not possible with prior art hard blades. A weedless swivel mechanism is also provided.
