Abstract

A glide and leap system for fishing lure includes a floating lure, a channel, a first weight, and a compression spring. The floating lure includes a head section and a tail section as the head section and the tail section are oppositely positioned of each other about a transverse plane of the floating lure. The channel is internally integrated into the head section and concentrically positioned along a sagittal plane of the floating lure. The channel is angularly oriented from a frontal plane of the floating lure to the transverse plane at an acute angle. The compression spring is positioned within the channel and positioned adjacent to the transverse plane. The first weight is adjacently positioned to the compression spring and the frontal plane as the first weight is slidably positioned within the channel.

Claims (100)

1. A glide and leap system for fishing lure comprising:

a floating lure;

a channel;
