Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an artificial fish lure and particularly to a lure with a weighted head and a non-swiveling blade. The hook passes through a hole in the blade and can move freely through a limited range but it cannot rotate, resulting in a back and forth motion. The weighted head prevents the blade from rotating the entire lure. The size of the blade is related to the weight of the head so as to cause the entire lure to wiggle.
