Abstract

A fishing lure includes a main body having an interior conical body portion having a flat surface at a first end, and an opening with a circumferential lip surrounding and extending from the opening at a second opposite end; and an exterior conical body portion surrounding the interior conical shape and extending from the flat surface to the circumferential lip. The exterior conical body portion is spaced apart from the interior conical body portion, defining a gap between an exterior of the interior conical body portion and an interior of the exterior conical body portion. The exterior body portion has a plurality of openings therein to the gap. A ring surrounds an exterior of the exterior conical body portion. The ring has a flat portion and a lip, and is positioned between the first end and the second end. The lip extends from an exterior circumference of the flat portion toward the first end.

Claims (13)

1. A fishing lure, comprising:

a main body comprising:

an interior conical body portion having a flat surface at a first end, and an opening with a circumferential lip surrounding and extending from the opening at a second opposite end; and

an exterior conical body portion surrounding the interior conical shape and extending from the flat surface to the circumferential lip, the exterior conical body portion spaced apart from the interior conical body portion, defining a gap between an exterior of the interior conical body portion and an interior of the exterior conical body portion, the exterior body portion having a plurality of openings therein to the gap, wherein the plurality of openings comprises openings between the ring and the first end and openings between the ring and the second end, and

a ring surrounding an exterior of the exterior conical body portion, the ring having a flat portion and a lip, the ring positioned between the first end and the second end, the lip extending from an exterior circumference of the flat portion toward the first end;

wherein the ring is configured to gather air and water and direct the air and water to the openings between the ring and the first end, and wherein the air and water is directed to one or more of: the openings between the ring and the first end, the openings between the ring and the second end, and a plurality of openings in the circumferential lip.

2. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the circumferential lip comprises a plurality of openings.

3. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the interior conical body has an attachment point for attaching a bait spring thereto.

4. The fishing lure of claim 3 , wherein the attachment point is a through opening in the flat surface.

5. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the ring is substantially parallel to the flat surface.

6. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the ring is angled with respect to the flat surface at an angle of about 15 degrees.

7. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the flat surface has an opening at a center thereof, extending into an interior of the inner conical body portion.

8. The fishing lure of claim 1 , wherein the flat surface extends past the exterior conical body portion at the first end.
