  • Patent number: 6748692
    Abstract: A spinner bait, including a head, a hook, a pair of legs, and two or more spinner blades extending from the pair of legs. The hook extends from the rearward end of the head. The legs each have a front end and a rearward end, and the front ends of the legs are connected to the front end of the head. The legs extend rearward over the top surface of the head and toward and around the hook. In so doing, the legs simulate the legs and/or body of a marine animal on which fish feed, and the legs also help conceal the hook and prevent its pointed end from getting snagged on objects under the surface of a body of water.
