Abstract

A fishing lure for use in water includes a lure body, a mover assembly and a first line eyelet. The lure body includes a first side and an opposed second side. The first side includes a first side surface and the second side includes a second side surface. The first side surface and the second side surface meet at a surface centerline, with the first side surface and the second side surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the surface centerline. The mover assembly includes a mover that is configured to move the lure body through the water. The first line eyelet is secured to the lure body. The first line eyelet is positioned away from the surface centerline. The fishing lure can further include a plurality of line eyelets, i.e., a second, a third, etc., positioned on the first side surface, the second side surface, and/or the surface centerline.

Claims (25)

1. A fishing lure for use in water, the fishing lure comprising:

a lure body including a first side and an opposed second side, the first side having a first side surface, the second side having a second side surface, the first side surface and the second side surface meeting at a surface centerline, the first side surface and the second side surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the surface centerline;

a mover assembly that is coupled to the lure body, the mover assembly including a mover that is configured to move the lure body through the water; and

a first line eyelet that is secured to the lure body, the first line eyelet being positioned away from the surface centerline.

2. The fishing lure of claim 1 wherein the first line eyelet is positioned on the first side surface of the lure body.

3. The fishing lure of claim 2 further comprising a second line eyelet, wherein the second line eyelet is positioned on the second side surface.

4. The fishing lure of claim 2 further comprising a second line eyelet, wherein the second line eyelet is positioned on the first side surface.

5. The fishing lure of claim 2 further comprising a second line eyelet and a third line eyelet, wherein the second line eyelet is positioned on the second side surface, and wherein the third line eyelet is positioned on the surface centerline.

6. The fishing lure of claim 2 further comprising a second line eyelet and a third line eyelet, wherein the second line eyelet is positioned on the first side surface, and wherein the third line eyelet is positioned on the surface centerline.

7. The fishing lure of claim 1 further comprising a second line eyelet, wherein the second line eyelet is positioned on the surface centerline.

8. The fishing lure of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of line eyelets, wherein the plurality of line eyelets are positioned on the first side surface and the second side surface.

9. The fishing lure of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of line eyelets, wherein the plurality of line eyelets are positioned on the first side surface, the second side surface and the surface centerline.

10. The fishing lure of claim 1 further comprising a selector assembly that is electrically connected to the mover assembly, the selector assembly including a plurality of preset speed settings that activate the mover assembly to move the lure body through the water, the plurality of preset speed settings including (i) a first preset speed setting for moving the mover at a first preset speed, and (ii) a second preset speed setting for moving the mover at a second preset speed that is different than the first preset speed.

11. The fishing lure of claim 10 wherein the selector assembly includes a selector member that is coupled to the lure body.

12. A fishing lure for use in water, the fishing lure comprising:

a lure body including a first side and an opposed second side, the first side having a first side surface, the second side having a second side surface, the first side surface and the second side surface meeting at a surface centerline, the first side surface and the second side surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the surface centerline;

a mover assembly that is coupled to the lure body, the mover assembly including a mover that is configured to move the lure body through the water; and

a plurality of line eyelets that are secured to the lure body, the plurality of line eyelets including at least one line eyelet being positioned away from the surface centerline.

13. The fishing lure of claim 12 further comprising a selector assembly that is electrically connected to the mover assembly, the selector assembly including a plurality of preset speed settings that activate the mover assembly to move the lure body through the water, the plurality of preset speed settings including (i) a first preset speed setting for moving the mover at a first preset speed, and (ii) a second preset speed setting for moving the mover at a second preset speed that is different than the first preset speed.

14. The fishing lure of claim 13 wherein the selector assembly includes a selector member that is coupled to the lure body.

15. A fishing lure for use in water, the fishing lure comprising:

a lure body including a first side and an opposed second side, the first side having a first side surface, the second side having a second side surface, the first side surface and the second side surface meeting at a surface centerline, the first side surface and the second side surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the surface centerline;

a mover assembly that is coupled to the lure body, the mover assembly including a mover that is configured to move the lure body through the water;

a selector assembly that is electrically connected to the mover assembly, the selector assembly including a plurality of preset speed settings that activate the mover assembly to move the lure body through the water, the plurality of preset speed settings including (i) a first preset speed setting for moving the mover at a first preset speed, and (ii) a second preset speed setting for moving the mover at a second preset speed that is different than the first preset speed; and

a plurality of line eyelets secured to the lure body, the plurality of line eyelets including at least one line eyelet being positioned away from the surface centerline.
