Abstract
A fishing lure made of resilient material with a relatively flat vertical body shape, having horizontal wings positioned perpendicular to the body, and weighted so as to glide or plane out in a forward horizontal motion in response to being pulled through water. This gliding motion is achieved from both the up and down motions of normal "jigging" motion by the user. At least one fishing hook may be attached for catching fish. Additional hooks or lures may also be attached. Continued "jigging" results in the lure reversing upon itself and following a path beneath user, the path roughly following a daisy-shaped path enabling the user to access fish in a wide-spread area below the user's position.
