Abstract

A one-piece, molded plastic fish lure in the form of an artificial minnow having a head end with a plurality of spaced openings for connection of the line or leader and a tail end with an opening for mounting a hook. In plan view, the lure is symmetrical about a linear axis between the head and tail ends, having a central body portion with flat side surfaces from each of which side portions divided into forward, intermediate and rear sections, extend outwardly. The longitudinal edges of the body portion extend along curved lines about varying radii with the shortest radius of curvature being in an area about twice as far from the tail end as from the head, the radius of curvature in this portion of one edge being somewhat shorter than that of the other. The forward and rear sections of the side portions are solid while the intermediate section comprises a series of spaced ribs. The plurality of spaced openings through forward parts of the central body portion provide optional locations for attachment of the line or leader to obtain different actions of the lure as it moves through the water.
