Patent ID: 7748157

Claim:
A fishing jig comprising a) a first teardrop-shaped body portion having a generally flat bottom throughout its length which curves upwardly toward its peripheral edges; b) a second shorter semi-hourglass shaped rudder portion joined to an end of said first body portion, said shorter semi-hourglass shaped rudder portion whose width side to side exceeds its height top to bottom; c) an eyelet positioned at a center of gravity of said first body portion on a top surface thereof; d) a fishhook curling upwardly lying along a centerline of said second rudder portion; whereby when said fishing jig is tugged upwardly, it darts imitating a motion of a minnow and when said fishing jig is allowed to settle, said flat bottom and said rudder portion combine to cause said fishing jig to slide to-and-fro imitating a wounded minnow.
