Claim:
A frog fishing lure system for attracting fish with a generally frog shaped lure having inwardly spiraling legs to create a movement for enticing fish into striking, the system comprising, in combination: a main body portion having a top surface and a bottom surface and having a front and a rear and opposed sides, the top and bottom surfaces of the main body portion having an oval configuration with a maximum length of about 3 inches measured from the front to the rear and a maximum width of about 1 inch between the sides, the main body portion having an oval cross section latitudinally configured with a maximum height of about 0.25 inches from the top surface to the bottom surface, the main body portion being a tear drop cross sectional configuration longitudinally with a central axis extending from the front to the rear, the teardrop shaped cross-sectional configuration being thicker adjacent to the front than to the rear; a pair of similarly configured leg portions integrally fabricated with the rear of the main body portion, each leg portion having a generally linear interior section and a spiral exterior section and an intermediate section between the interior and exterior sections; each interior section positioned to extend outwardly from the rear of the main body portion with a length of about 1.50 inches, each interior section having an oval cross sectional configuration continuously decreasing in area with a maximum area adjacent to the main body portion, the interior sections of the legs projecting symmetrically from the rear of the main body portion and forming an angle of about 90 degrees therebetween; each intermediate section having a width less than the widths of the interior and exterior sections there adjacent; each exterior section having a planar top surface and a bottom surface parallel to the top surface, the spiral exterior section of each leg first extending downwardly and away from the central axis, then downwardly and toward the central axis, then upwardly and toward the central axis, then terminating facing away from the central axis; the maximum length of the main body portion being between 50 percent and 60 percent of a maximum length of the entire system, the maximum width of the main body portion being between 30 percent and 40 percent of the maximum length of the entire system, the entire system being fabricated of silicone; projection lines on the top surface of the main body portion adjacent to the sides and extending from the front to the rear for increased lateral flexibility on the top surface and for simulating the appearance and motion of a frog, the projection lines including regions simulating eyes of the frog; and additional recessed projection lines on each leg portion on opposite sides of each intermediate section to maximize the flexing of the leg portions to simulate the appearance and motion of the frog when swimming resulting from relative movement between the system and water.
