<p>A novel fish lure is provided herein, The lure is shaped in the form of a tail-less minnow having a main body of generally hydrodynamic shape including a head portion and a tail tip portion, the main body having, in side elevational view, a gently rounded upper back surface and an arcuately, oppositely, rounded lower belly surface and having, in top plan view, side faces which diverge from the head portion to a maximum body thickness and then converge to the tail tip portion. A projecting, flat plate-like nose extends from the head in the form of a smooth continuous extension of the gently rounded upper back surface and extends downwardly less than the height of the body from the upper surface to the surface, the nose having a shape, in top plan view of forwardly diverging side faces, which terminate in a transverse, connecting bevelled edge, to provide two downwardly sloping side nose surfaces, the nose being provided with a plurality of spaced apart holes therethrough, disposed along the central longitudinal central axis thereof for securing a fish line drawn through a selected such hole. A depending fin extends along the central longitudinal axis of the body, the tail fin being provided with a fish-line-guiding channel extending along an arcuate path longitudinally through it and along the body. A fish line is adapted to be threaded through one of the holes. One hole imparts the most erratic action. A second hole imparts lessened erratic action, and the third hole imparts extremely vibrant but tight movement from the center. In all cases, the action of the plug is side-to-side at the same time as the plug oscillates on its longitudinal axis. The fish lure is one to which can be imparted erratic action in which the action is a simultaneous side-to-side and oscillation on its longitudinal axis. The lure may be patterned to represent a minnow more closely.</p> |
