A method of constructing a fishing lure blade having a special kicker, and a blade made according to the method. A blade body is inserted at one end into a groove in a special tool and is then bent such that a flap is formed about a bend line determined by the groove depth. The flap is folded over completely and the folded over end of the blade is then inserted into a slot in another tool. The blade is then bent against a 45.degree. inclined surface to form a double thickness lip that is oriented at 45.degree. to the blade body. Finally, the flap is pressed against a flat tool surface until its tip is in line with the opposite edges of the blade body.
