ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a fishing aid, comprising a body having a nose and a tail defining a keel. An attachment point is provided in the body for suspending it from a towing line. A headpin or similar securing means is provided for securing a baitfish by its snout to the body so that the baitfish is towed behind the body when the body is towed through the water by the towing line. A water impingement surface extends upwardly and rearwardly from the nose of the body. An underslung mass is provided below the attachment point on the body, and is so arranged in relation to the attachment point, the water impingement surface and the headpin that, when towed through the water, the body is oriented so that the water impingement surface faces upwardly, and is impinged upon by the water, which imparts life-like movements to the body. These movements are transmitted to the baitfish to cause the baitfish to execute a swimming-like motion through the water.
