Abstract
The present invention provides a fishing lure that has a weed guard to reduce weed collection as the lure is pulled through the water. The weed guard consists of one or more stiff metal wires disposed in areas where weeds normally collect between a fishing line attachment and a dive control lip. An additional weed control hat further reduces weed collection where the one or more stiff wires pass through the dive control lip.
