snag resistant fishing lure 10 fig3 a shows the blade 11 to be flat while fig3 b shows the blade 11 having a bend near the second end 14 of the blade 11 bending the blade 11 will decrease the effective surface area of the blade 11 decreasing the amount of drag the blade 11 presents as the fishing lure 10 is pulled through the water it can be appreciated that varying the degree of drag will affect both the tendency of the snag resistant fishing lure 10 to dive or run to the surface and the tendency of the blade 11 to oscillate from side to side of the snag resistant fishing lure 10 decreasing the surface area of the blade 11 has a stabilizing effect on the path of the lure 10 while increasing the surface area of the blade 11 causes the lure 10 to follow a more erratic path turning now to fig4 a and 4b the effect on the fishing lure 39 s 10 behavior due to the positioning of the line attachment holes 18 can be clearly seen in fig4 a the line attachment holes 18 are formed in the blade 11 near the first end 12 of the blade 11 providing a short lever arm distance from the blade 39 s pivot point at the eyelet 24 because of the short lever arm distance between the pull point on the blade and the eyelet 24 vs the longer lever arm distance between the center of drag of the blade 11 about mid length of the blade and the eyelet 24 the blade 11 has a tendency to be swept toward the rear of the jig 20 by water drag as the lure 10 is pulled through.
