Abstract

A fishing lure comprising a crankbait or similar body member to which both a spinner and a hook are attached, provides the crankbait with a realistic swimming motion. In particular, the spinning of the spinner, coupled with its positioning on the crankbait, imparts an oscillating, swimming-like motion to the crankbait, which greatly enhances the luring of fish. This is in addition to the benefits already derived by virtue of the spinning of the spinner.
