Abstract:
1. A blade for a fishing lure, the fishing lure including a hook attached to a line, the blade comprising in combination: a) a first end having a generally circular periphery extending about a first geometric center; b) a second end having a generally circular periphery extending about a second geometric center; c) a central bridge portion connecting the first end to the second end, the bridge portion including first and second opposing sides, the first and second opposing sides being substantially parallel to each other, the first side extending substantially tangent to the periphery of the first end, and the second side extending substantially tangent to the periphery of the second end; d) the blade extending about a central longitudinal axis passing substantially through the first and second geometric centers, and extending about a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; e) a spin hole formed in the blade substantially along the central longitudinal axis thereof, and substantially midway between the first and second geometric centers, the spin hole being adapted to extend about the line attached to the hook of the fishing lure; and f) a fold line formed in the central bridge portion, the fold line extending at approximately 15 angular degrees from the lateral axis of the blade, and substantially passing through the spin hole; g) wherein the central bridge portion of the blade is partially folded about the fold line to position the first and second ends of the blade in a configuration to cause the blade to spin when the fishing lure is pulled through water.
