Abstract:
1. A method for providing and using a combination frame and oscillating blade assembly in conjunction with a weighted fishing lure wherein said frame remains securely affixed to a fishing line while one oscillating blade is replaced by another oscillating blade, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a wire frame comprising, at a free first end which is threaded through an inferiorly disposed hole in an oscillating blade whereby the oscillating blade is affixed to the frame, distal from the free end the frame, the frame comprising an arcuate bend proximal to the first free end to form a clasp such that when the free end is threaded through a superiorly disposed hole in an oscillating blade, the oscillating blade is grasped and affixed to the frame while allowing side to side oscillatory motion; (b) further providing an elongated section of the frame distal from the clasp, the elongated section ending in a series of arcuate bends which form an oscillating blade alignment and containment segment followed distally by a first loop by which fishing line is affixed to the frame; (c) still further providing, distal to the first loop, a second elongated section which ends with a second fishing lure attachment loop by which a fishing lure is affixed to the frame; and (d) providing an oscillating blade comprising two holes of sufficient size to permit threading the wire of the frame there through, the holes having sufficient separation to permit one hole of said blade to be disposed along the alignment and containment segment while a superior section of the blade is grasped by the clasp to impede said blade from rotating, said oscillating blade comprising material which is sufficiently flexible to permit threading of the frame through the holes yet being sufficiently rigid to fit within the grasp of the clasp when inserted therein; (e) affixing a fishing line to the first loop; (f) threading the free first end of the frame through an inferiorly disposed first hole in the blade and displacing the blade until the first hole is disposed at the alignment and containment segment; (g) bending the blade and threading the first free end through the superiorly disposed hole and displacing hole and blade until disposed in the grasp of said clasp; and (h) affixing a weighted fishing lure to complete the assembly for fishing.
