<p>A fishing lure (10) includes a plurality of substantially rigid, preferably plastic body sections including a head section (12), a tail section (20), and three central body sections (14, 16, 18), decreasing in size from the head to the tail, therebetween. Each section behind the head section includes a hinge portion (58, 82, 98, 108), and each section in front of the tail section includes a cavity (34, 50, 74, 90), and each hinge portion is snap fit into the cavity of an adjacent section to form a hinge assembly having a pivot axis inside the respective cavity. The hinge assemblies are together adapted to permit different degrees of relative movement of selected adjacent sections to more closely simulate the movement of a live bait fish, and particularly produce fluid tail end movement, as the lure is being pulled through water. Various embodiments are provided.</p> |
