Fishing lure

A treble fishing hook includes an elongated shank which has a first end and a second end. An eye is secured to the first end of the shank. three barb-carrying bight portions are secured to the second end of the shank with the three bight portions being equally spaced about the axis of the shank and separated by an angle of about 120.degree.. Each of the bight portions is bent outwardly from the shank so as to lie in a plane which extends at an angle of from about 14.degree. to about 20.degree. to the axis of the shank. A barb is carried on each of the bight portions, and each barb is angularly displaced out of the plane of the bight portion.

Treble hook

A fishing lure which includes a hollow body generally resembling a natural bait species and having a diving plane at the forward end, and a tail at the rear end thereof. The lure further includes an upper body half and a lower body half. The upper body half joins the lower body half in a longitudinal medial plane which extends rearwardly from the diving plane to the tail of the lure. A graphite pull section is affixed to the diving plane so that a projecting blade portion of the graphite pull section extends upwardly from the upper side of the diving plane, and carries a hole for attachment of a fishing line. The lower body half has a pair of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending chines formed thereon to improve the hydrodynamic properties of the lure as it is retrieved.
