ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure having a spoon-shaped blade with a first attachment location for a fishing line and a second attachment location spaced from the first location includes an offset tail in the form of an elongated stiff member having a first end firmly attached to the blade at the second attachment location and a second end carrying a loosely attached hook. The stiff member extends away from the blade in a direction such that the center of gravity of the member is offset with respect to an extension of a line between the first attachment point and the second attachment point. The offset tail causes the lure to trail through the water in a sinuous path with realistic short side-to-side darting motions. The stiff member may be made of wire, with beads of brass, or other material heavier than water, strung along the wire, preferably in order of increasing size from the first end to the second end. This arrangement places the center of gravity of the lure near the hook, thereby causing the lure to travel hook-first when cast, and reducing the chance of entangling the hook in the line.
