Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A fish lure adapted to be drawn through the water by a fishing line, comprising: a bait formed with at least one hook and affixed to said line; a first element rotatable about said line and disposed ahead of said bait, said first element diverging toward said bait and being formed along its periphery with an array of vanes effecting rotation of said element upon the relative movement of said line and the water; a second element rotatable on said line and at least partly surrounding the vanes on said first element, said second element being provided with formations engaging the water to effect rotation of said second element relative to said first element and said line upon the relative movement of said lure and the water; and at least one asymmetrically disposed member connected to one of said elements for deflecting the lure from a straight line path through water.
