Abstract
A fishing lure has a lip, a paddle, and a hook extending rearwardly therefrom. The lip includes a first surface that includes an eyelet extending therefrom. The paddle extends from the lip on a vertical plane during use of the fishing lure, the paddle having opposed side surfaces that together counterbalance the movement of the lure imparted by the lip, to steer the fishing lure in the direction of movement. The hook has a shank and a barbed point, the shank being fixedly attached to and extending from the paddle such that the hook lies on the same vertical plane as the paddle, and such that the hook extends rearwardly opposite the direction of movement. A method of assembly of the fishing lure with a soft pliable bait is also disclosed.
