Abstract:
1. A fishing lure for spraying water droplets fore or aft of said fishing lure in a body of water, comprising: a monolithic fishing lure body extending along a substantially straight axis from a head end to a tail end of said fishing lure body, wherein said tail end is defined by a substantially flat surface, said fishing lure body being solid throughout its entirety and having no openings extending therethrough, said fishing lure body having a top, a bottom, and opposing lateral sides, said fishing lure body having a roughly conical profile that tapers from a maximum diameter near said head end of said fishing lure body to a minimum diameter near said tail end of said fishing lure body, wherein said roughly conical profile comprises said top and bottom tapering toward each other and said opposing sides tapering toward each other; a first substantially planar surface formed at said head end of said fishing lure body, and said first substantially planar surface forming a first angle with respect to said axis; a second substantially planar surface formed at said head end of said fishing lure body, and said second substantially planar surface forming a second angle with respect to said axis, wherein one of said first and second planar surfaces extends further from said fishing lure body and has a greater surface area than the other of said first and second planar surfaces; a third angle with respect to said first and second substantially planar surfaces such that said third angle is the sum of said first angle and said second angle, wherein said third angle is between 83° and 130°, wherein said first angle, said second angle, and said third angle are configured to cause said fishing lure body to spray water droplets either fore or aft as the fishing lure body is moved through the body of water; a crotch defined by an intersection of said first substantially planar surface and said second substantially planar surface forming a substantially straight line, said crotch extending through and substantially transverse to said axis with said axis extending through said flat surface of said tail end of said fishing lure body, wherein said crotch and said axis cooperate to define a plane that divides said fishing lure body into an upper portion and a lower portion adjacent to said first substantially planar surface and said second substantially planar surface, respectively, and further wherein said first substantially planar surface and said second substantially planar surface extend forward from said crotch, and said first and second substantially planar surfaces having perimeters that are entirely accurate, each of said perimeters having opposing portions which each extend from respective opposite ends of said crotch; a hook tie eyelet connected to a longitudinal central portion of said lower portion of said fishing lure body between said crotch and said tail end of said fishing lure body for pivotally attaching a fishing hook thereto; and a line tie eyelet positioned either on one of said first and second planar surfaces of said fishing lure body or at said crotch.
