ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure including a proximal end, a distal end, a counterbalance arm, and a rotatable helical body element having a lumen therethrough and a wire extending through the lumen. In one lure the wire includes a proximal portion having a eyelet for attaching to a fishing line and a counterbalance arm extending distally from the eyelet. One lure also includes bearings to reduce rotational forces from being transmitted from the rotatable helical body element to the wire extending through the body lumen. Any rotation forces transmitted to the wire are at least partially opposed by the counterbalance arm. The counterbalance arm in one lure is formed of wire and has lead weights disposed over the wire. Gravity acts on the weighted counterbalance arm to oppose rotation upward and thereby opposes rotation of the wire, eyelet, and attached fishing line.
