ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure (10) having an articulatable hook connector (24) well suited for use with either spinner or buzz baits. The fishing lure has a head (12), a shaft (14) extending from the head to engage a fishing line (16), a hook (26) and a resilient, yet articulable hook connector anchored within the head operably connecting the hook to the head. To anchor the hook connector, a loop is formed at the one end to receive and engage a curved end (28) of the shaft to form a first connection (30), and the first connection is secured by forming the head around the first connection. The hook is mounted to the hook connector by attaching the hook connector to the hook's shank (36) with either a wrapping wire or a clamp to form a second connection (34) and placing solder over the second connection. A fold is formed on the second connection and the fold is soldered thereto.
