Abstract
A process for making foil type fishing lures and the product thereof. The process provides a low cost method of making a variety of lures from a common blank, each having accuracy and balance with unique features and actions. A blank is first cut from a sheet of metal and a surface finish thereafter is applied to the blank. The overall shape of the blank is a truncated oval with a rounded leading portion and a segmented truncated trailing portion. Within the segmented trailing portion is a slot which divides the blank into symmetrical half segments. A compound shape is next formed in the metal of the blank by a lateral displacement of the trailing segments which bows the metal. Displacement of the segments also closes the slot and reduces the surface area of the lure. The compound shape is then fixed by interconnecting the trailing segments at their displaced positions. The final step is the assembly of remaining hardware to the body of the lure.
