Abstract:

A fishing lure including a rotatable blade having pivotable clappers thereon is provided with primary and secondary wire legs aligned parallel and connected at a junction for attaching a fishing line thereto. A bait segment is affixed on the primary wire leg and is disposed adjacent and behind the secondary wire leg to negate contact during trolling. The bait segment includes an elongated head portion having a narrow front expanding to an enlarged mid-portion having an oval cross-section tapering a distal end from which a fish hook extends with a barbed end curved toward the head portion. A blade is disposed to rotate about the secondary wire leg during trolling and includes sound generators pivotably attached on opposed blade surfaces. Trolling near the water surface positions the rotating blade to intermittently expose each blade surface and pivoting sound generator to the water surface creating turbulence and sound for attracting fish.
