Lure with impacting blade members
View Patent ↗A fishing lure comprises a wire form member having a first leg and second leg, a weighted member coupled to the second leg, and a line attachment point located between the first leg and second leg. A first blade member is pivotably coupled to the first leg, while a second blade member is rotatably coupled to the wire form member and positioned between the first blade member and the weighted member.
1. A fishing lure comprising:
a wire form member comprised of a first leg and a second leg with an eyelet located therebetween; said first leg having only one looped portion;
a weighted member coupled to said second leg;
a hook coupled to said weighted member;
a first blade member pivotably coupled to said looped portion, said looped portion passing through a first through hole of said first blade member, said first blade member constrained from pivoting more than 180 degrees relative to said looped portion;
a spacer member surrounding said first leg and located along said wire form member between said first blade member and said eyelet, said spacer member limiting the pivoting motion of said first blade member in one direction;
wherein said first blade member has a leading end and a trailing end;
wherein said first blade member can be divided into a forward region between said leading end and said first through hole and a trailing region between said first through hole and said trailing end, said forward region being generally flat, said trailing region further comprising a concave side and an opposite convex side;
wherein said first blade member is shaped and pivotably constrained in such a manner that generates lift;
wherein said looped portion is the only looped portion coupled to a blade member along said first leg;
a second blade member rotatably coupled to said first leg, said second blade member located between said first blade member and said weighted member or between said first blade member and said hook; and
wherein said second blade member spins about its own longitudinal axis and only impacts said convex side as said lure is pulled forward in water.
2. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said weighted member is loosely coupled to said wire form member.
3. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the hook is loosely coupled to said wire form member.
4. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said spacer member is shaped like a sleeve.
5. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said second blade member is shaped like a propeller.
6. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said second blade member has a concave shape.
7. The fishing lure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said first blade member is made of metal.
