ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure has a crab-shaped body portion provided with a plurality of pairs of legs extending from opposite sides of the body. The lure is preferably molded from a flexible plastic material and is painted or otherwise colored to have a green upper surface with brown spots and a whitish undersurface in fluorescent color to simulate a live crab. A lower section of each the legs is provided with a cavity to catch water currents during use and produce life-like movement of the leg. The cross sectional areas of the cavities may be varied between legs to produce different rates of movement of the various legs. Wire stiffeners may be provided in an upper section of each leg to produce varying rates of movement between the upper and lower leg sections. The upper leg sections may be formed with a rearwardly extending stabilizing flap to control leg movement. A stabilizing fin may be provided in a recess formed in the undersurface of the body portion.
