The present invention relates to an improved fishing lure with a spinning device. More particularly, the present invention provides a fishing lure that begins spinning upon contact with water.
Many people enjoy fishing. When fishing, an angler must pick a bait to use that they believe will be most likely to attract fish. There are almost an infinite number of choices when it comes to the type of bait used when fishing. When choosing a bait, an angler may choose a live bait or an artificial bait. A popular type of artificial bait is a spinner bait.
Spinner baits are typically comprised of a hook and a spoon. The spoon will spin as the bait is pulled along. Spinner baits have a drawback, however. The spoon on a traditional spinner bait will not spin until the bait reaches a certain speed in the water. This means that a bait may not attract any fish for the first several feet in the water. This can cause fish to be missed, or worse, scare fish away.
In many instances fish are often times along the bank of a lake, river, or stream. This is also where many underwater plants grow. A major drawback to spinner baits is that the spoon will stop spinning when it hits the underwater plants. This means that the bait will become ineffective in the best area to attract fish. Further, spinner baits may become tangled with plant life. This means that the bait will have to be cleaned before the bait is used again.
Consequently, there is a need for an improvement in the art of fishing lures. The present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art while at the same time solves a problem many people face when using artificial lures when fishing. In this regard the present invention substantially fulfills these needs.
The present invention provides an improved fishing lure with a spinning device wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when using a spinner fishing lure. The fishing lure with a spinning device is comprised of a hook located at one end of the fishing lure. A shaft is attached to the hook having a spinning device located thereon. At least one spacer device is located on the shaft between the end of the hook and the spinning device. An eyelet is located at an end of the shaft opposite the hook.
Another object of the fishing lure with spinning device is to provide a spinning device that is comprised of a spoon and a flanged collar.
Another object of the fishing lure with spinning device is to provide a lure with a weight located on the shaft between the hook and the spinning device.
Another object of the fishing lure with spinning device is to provide a lure where the hook is a treble hook.
Another object of the fishing lure with spinning device is to provide lure with a tail attachment that is coupled to the hook.
Another object of the fishing lure with spinning device is to provide a lure with the tail attachment further coupled to the shaft.
