Abstract:
A fishing lure of the type that simulates a crustacean including:a forward portion adapted to simulate a forward portion of the crustacean; a rearward portion adapted to simulate a rearward portion of the crustacean, the rearward portion being flexibly connected to the forward portion such that the forward portion and rearward portion may be moved with respect to each other between a flexed position and a rest position; connection means on the rearward portion for connection of a fishing line to the rearward portion; and guide means through which the fishing line may slidably pass, the guide means being associated with the forward portion whereby, in use, a tugging action on the fishing line causes the rearward portion to move with respect to the forward portion from the rest position towards the flexed position such that a portion of the rearward portion is positioned within the forward portion with an associated shortening of a ventral body line of the lure to simulate a tail flicking motion of the crustacean.
