ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure for use with dead bait fish includes a cover having a cavity for insertion of the head portion of the bait fish and an anchor means for securing the cover on the bait fish. Also connected to the cover is a foil or diving plane which deflects water to create lateral motion of the lure and bait fish in relation to the direction of the trolling advancement of the lure through the water, so that the lure produces simulated swimming animation of the dead bait fish and promotes attraction of the target fish. Two hooks are linked to extend rearwardly from the cover by respective, opposing branches of a Y-shaped lead extension which is secured within the cover. The Y-shaped lead extension guides alignment of the hooks into positions flanking the opposite sides of the bait fish. The cover can be articulated and vertically split, with cover portions which pivot between a separated, open position in which the head of the bait fish is inserted, and a closed position in which cover portions are pivoted together to anchor the fish head within the articulated cover. The cover halves can be provided with projecting barbs which pierce and anchor the head of the inserted bait fish. The articulated cover has a hinge structure at the nose portion to enable the pivotal motion of the cover halves. A locking structure is provided to secure the cover halves together in the closed position.
