An artificial, aquatic fishing lure which imitates the swimming motion of fresh and salt water fish and the method of manufacturing the same. The lure is used with a rod, line, hook, and usually a reel. The lure comprises an elongate body having thin, flexible fins extending along the body of the lure where the outer edges of these fins are longer in length than the attached edges. In another embodiment, a tail portion is included which may be helical in shape or ruffled. The helical design is present in a relaxed state. On tow through water, the helix is extended in a planar manner so that the fin forms a wavy or ruffled sheet-like membrane. In another embodiment, the lure is formed with a tail comprising two appendages which extend from the distal tail portion of the elongate body in an adjacent relationship to one another. In tow through water, the appendages which comprise the tail separate and effect the desired motion. In the preferred embodiment, the fins are arranged such that, in tow, a wavy or ruffled configuration is obtained.
