Abstract:

The invention is motion control apparatus for imparting random, erratic and unpredictable motion to a lure which is pulled through the water, a combination fish lure and motion control apparatus, a method of making the same and a method of establishing random, unpredictable motion for a fish lure. Universally coupled concave discs connected between the fishing line and the lure provide the erratic direction of travel and frequency of movement of natural bait, such as minnows or the like. By centrally pulling a first concave disc and edge connecting thereto a further centrally connected disc with bait edge coupled thereto, the random travel or directional change with attendant wiggling action is imparted to the fish bait. The unusual interconnection of the discs and their connections to the line and bait provide a continuously varying load center to impart the erratic motion.
