  • Patent number: 9339019
    Abstract: A fishing lure including a generally V-shaped frame with an eye at the vertex of the V, a hook fixed at each end of the V, a heavier weighted member encircling the junction of one of the hooks with one end of the V and a lighter weighted member encircling the junction of the other hook with the other end of the V. The hooks are rigidly connected to the ends of and are coplanar with the V. The lure is configured so that with a fishing line tethered to the eye, the heavier weight tends to remain at the bottom and cause the plain of the lure to remain vertical. With the lure in this position, the shanks of both hooks are about horizontal and the points are directly above the shanks.
