ABSTRACT:
A fishing device used to guide a submerged hook line during trolling along a zigzag path through the water. The device includes an upright rudder with angular wings extending from opposite rudder sides. Rearward ends of the wings include downwardly angled flaps. The rudder, wings, and flaps cooperate to impart lateral motion relative to the forward direction of trolling. The lateral movement continues until tension along the attached trolling line increases enough to cause the device to partially flip about an axis and move in an opposite lateral direction. Movement continues along the opposite lateral direction until the trolling line tension again builds and causes the device to flip back on the same axis and move laterally back again. The "zigzag" motion continues as the device is pulled through the water.
