Abstract
A fishing lure comprising a head, an eye for attaching the head to a fishing line, a substantially planar hook having a shank projecting rearwardly from the head, and a concave butt portion at the rearward end of the shank terminating in a barb, and guide arms on the head. The guide arms function to engage the mouth of a fish when the hook is inside the mouth to rotate the lure to a set position wherein the plane of the hook is substantially perpendicular to the floor and roof of the mouth of the fish, and to maintain the lure in the set position thereby to facilitate embedment of the hook in the floor or roof of the mouth.
