Abstract
The present invention provides an artificial, bi-parabolic fish lure made from a flat, solid strip of sheet material of a uniform thickness having three segments that smoothly transition from one to the next. A relatively long, parabolic anterior section that makes up about three-fifths of the fish lure's length. Next is a circumvoluted middle section comprising about one-fifth of the total length and causes the lure to spin through the water like a propeller when pulled behind a fishing line. A relatively short, parabolic posterior section that also makes up about one-fifth of the total length. The fish lure has a center of gravity rearward of its longitudinal center. In a preferred embodiment, the fish lure is made of shiny metal and is stippled with numerous indentations resembling scales so that the fish lure closely resembles a minnow.
