A fishing lure includes a blade having first and second opposing ends each having a generally circular periphery and connected by a central bridge portion having first and second parallel sides. The first and second sides extend substantially tangent to the peripheries of the first and second ends, respectively. A longitudinal axis of the blade passes through geometric centers of the first and second ends; a lateral axis extends perpendicular thereto. A spin hole is provided midway along the longitudinal axis for encircling the line, and a fold line is formed at a 15-degree offset from the lateral axis, passing through the spin hole, extending substantially perpendicular to the first and second sides of the bridge portion. The blade is folded about the fold line through an angle of 30 to 90 degrees, causing the blade to spin even when the lure is pulled through water at slow speeds. |

1. A blade for a fishing lure, the fishing lure including a hook attached to a line, the blade comprising in combination:
a) a first end having a generally circular periphery extending about a first geometric center; b) a second end having a generally circular periphery extending about a second geometric center; c) a central bridge portion connecting the first end to the second end, the bridge portion including first and second opposing sides, the first and second opposing sides being substantially parallel to each other, the first side extending substantially tangent to the periphery of the first end, and the second side extending substantially tangent to the periphery of the second end; d) the blade extending about a central longitudinal axis passing substantially through the first and second geometric centers, and extending about a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; e) a spin hole formed in the blade substantially along the central longitudinal axis thereof, and substantially midway between the first and second geometric centers, the spin hole being adapted to extend about the line attached to the hook of the fishing lure; and f) a fold line formed in the central bridge portion, the fold line extending at approximately 15 angular degrees from the lateral axis of the blade, and substantially passing through the spin hole; g) wherein the central bridge portion of the blade is partially folded about the fold line to position the first and second ends of the blade in a configuration to cause the blade to spin when the fishing lure is pulled through water. |
