ABSTRACT:
A spinner type of fishing lure is provided having a wire formed into first and second legs which both extend in a rearward direction. The first leg extends into a artificial minnow from which a hook extends, and about which a skirt is provided for concealing the hook. A spinner is rotatably secured about the second leg for rotating as the fishing lure is drawn through water. A clicker is secured to a portion of the second leg for swivelling about the second leg to repeatedly knock against the spinner as the spinner is rotating about the second leg, which produces a clicking noise for attracting fish. The spinner rotates about an axis of rotation which is rearwardly inclined away from the first leg for urging the fishing lure to submerge beneath the surface of the water. The portion of the second leg about which the spinner is secured extends rearwardly of a forward portion of the second leg, which prevents debris from becoming entangled with the spinner.
