Abstract

A trolling lure includes multiple spoons or spinners attached in series along a flexible cable leader. The spoons or spinners may be of the same size or of different sizes, and the leader also includes several series of plastic or glass beads along the leader to provide color. Some of the beads may also serve as bearings for the rotational action of the spoons or spinners. Spacing of the spoons or spinners, beads, and other components is achieved by crimping or swaging sleeves onto the multiple strand cable leader at various points. The spoons or spinners are preferably of aluminum, to provide relatively light weight for slower trolling speeds, and are preferably provided with a somewhat porous surface by weathering, knurling, or abrading the surface. The porosity thus achieved provides a more realistic and less reflective surface, and further provides better retention of a fish attracting scent thereon.
