Abstract
A spinner fishing lure having a frame including first and second diverging arms lying generally in the same plane. A hook is connected to the frame at the distal end of the first arm and lies generally in the plane of the first and second arms. The lure also includes at least two blades and connectors for connecting the blades to the frame generally at the distal end of the second arm. The blades are tethered to the connectors at spaced apart connection points such that the blades may swivel relative to the connectors generally sweeping out overlapping cones as the blades travel through the water so that the blades periodically strike one another to produce a noise attractive to fish. The connectors are configured so that the connection points of the blades and the blades are substantially vertically aligned as the lure is pulled through the water.
