Abstract
An electrically animated fishing lure having a lure body, a motor retained by the body, a propulsion means driven by the motor whereby when the motor is energized the lure is caused to move on or through water, the lure being arranged to travel in a non-linear path, and an electrical conductor extending with a fishing line by which electrical energy is provided to the motor. The characteristic of the lure moving in a non-linear path permits a fisherman to control the movement of the lure in and around obstructions in the water being fished. The preferred propulsion means includes the use of oppositely extending rotating wings, one of the wings being configured to provide greater propulsion than the other and in another embodiment a flow cavity is provided having jets extending to each side of the lure, one of the jets providing greater thrust than the other.
