A fishing lure has an elongated shaft with a loop at one end to connect a fishhook and a loop at the other for securing a line. Axially received on the shaft is a cylindrical body and a swivel ball on the side of the body toward the line-coupling loop. A generally spoon-shaped blade has an aperture located near its head end portion and the shaft is received within the aperture to position the blade between the swivel ball and the line coupling with the cavity of the spoon facing the shaft. The head end portion of the blade is scoop shaped, in reverse, of the spoon shape of the blade. That scoop causes the tail end portion of the blade to tilt outwardly from the shaft when the lure is drawn forwardly through water. The tail end portion of the blade includes a region which is bent or flared outwardly from the shaft in one side of the tail portion, defining a crease oriented at a slant to the longitudinal axis of the blade. As a result, the blade exhibits a propeller or spinning action when the lure is so drawn through the water.
