Lure with slidably-oscillating bladed member

摘要

A fishing lure consists of a hook and at least one bladed member having an aperture for slidably mounting the bladed member along the shank of the hook. The bladed member enables an oscillating-type swimming motion of the lure when the lure is retrieved by an angler. The shank comprises a generally acute-angle bend located substantially away from both the eyelet and the hook point, such that the inner edge of the aperture of the bladed member is hydrodynamically confined within the acute-angle bend during retrieval of the lure, thus preventing the oscillating movement of the bladed member from interfering with an adjacent lure component. Alternatively, a permanent or removable spacer member can be used to constrain the bladed member along a predetermined section of the hook shank. The resulting oscillating movement of the bladed member creates a unique and more lifelike swimming motion of the lure.

主权项

1. A fishing lure comprising:
a hook; at least one bladed member;
wherein said at least one bladed member comprises a generally arch-shaped section having a thickness, said generally arch-shaped section sweeping an annular trajectory to define an outer perimeter edge and form a generally convex first-arched surface and a generally concave opposite-arched surface separated by said thickness, said annular trajectory defining an aperture having an aperture edge;wherein said outer perimeter edge and said aperture edge generally lie within a same plane; a means for coupling said at least one bladed member to said hook; and wherein said first-arched surface has a symmetry about a median plane, said symmetry enabling a stable back-and-forth oscillating behavior, and not a spinning rotational behavior, of said at least one bladed member as said lure is pulled forward in water.
