A fishing lure of the spinner bait type has a substantially rigid arm having a hook adjacent one end thereof with a lead weight on the substantially rigid arm adjacent its connection to the hook. The substantially rigid arm has a loop formed adjacent its other end to enable a fishing line to be attached thereto. One end of a non-rigid arm is connected to the other end of the substantially rigid arm with the arms diverging from each other and in the same vertical plane when the fishing lure is pulled through the water. The other end of the non-rigid arm has a spinner blade rotatably connected thereto. The non-rigid arm is movable relative to the substantially rigid arm to prevent rotation of the fishing lure when it is pulled through the water due to a torque produced by the spinner blade. The movement of the non-rigid arm is controlled by a sleeve surrounding it at its connection to the substantially rigid arm so that the forces on the arm are transferred from a single point to the entire circumference of the arm by the arm flexing or bending. Another form of the fishing lure has two non-rigid arms attached to the substantially rigid arm with each of the non-rigid arms having a spinner blade rotatably connected thereto. The two non-rigid arms extend in substantially opposite directions.
