Abstract
A soft plastic fishing lure designed to mimic a real frog that generates a strong sonic signature and a pulsating body action due to the hole in its belly, whether the lure retrieved across the surface or sub-surface, that increases a positive hook up rate when connected to a fishing line.
Claims
1. A soft plastic fishing lure designed to mimic a real frog that generates a strong sonic signature and a pulsating body action due to the hole in its belly, whether the lure retrieved across the surface or sub-surface, that increases a positive hook up rate when connected to a fishing line and comprising: A moulded lure body with a broad face having a front and a tail segment fused together. Soft plastic frog shaped lure body with a circular shaped convex hole in its belly region. Recessed scoop that comes off the back of the circular shaped hole exposing the hook point of a wide gape worm hook. Bulging Ultraviolet (also known as UV) eyes residing on the top of the lure. Curled, flattish legs create a realistic paddling movement when dragged through water, are joined firmly to the rear of the body. Hydrodynamic belly flaps on the back 60% of its convex stomach to retain any artificial scents. Higher head section to protect the exposed hook from weeds in order to be fished weedless. A broad, bluntface.
2. The artificial lure of claim 1 further comprising: A tapered broad face nose Thickened hip joints of the soft plastic lure for more heavy duty use

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following detailed description of the invention such as any details, examples, embodiments etc as described are not limited to the embodiments set forth and as such the invention can be adapted to many numerous body shapes and sizes, nose shapes and sizes, leg length or thickness, stomach hole size or shape and fishing applications.
[0033] FIG. 1 Shows conceptually what the invention looks like when viewed from above. It shows the pulse hole at 1 which will generate sonic signature and pulsating action when being retrieved, and a recessed scoop 2 designed to expose the hook point of a wide gape worm hook when being rigged to fish in a weedless capacity. Curled legs that kick realistically in the water are at the rear of the body 3
[0034] FIG. 2 Shows conceptually what the invention looks like when viewed on the side. It shows a broad blunt head design 4, bulging eyes 5 meant to be adorned with UV paint to appeal to the fish as well as an indicator for the angler, and hydrodynamic strakes 6 for optimal movement through water. Belly flaps 7 also follow a sympathetic curve to the strakes
[0035] FIG. 3 Shows conceptually what another variation of invention looks like when viewed on the side. It shows a broad pointed head design 8, bulging eyes 9, meant to be adorned with UV paint to appeal to the fish as well as an indicator for the angler, and hydrodynamic strakes 10, for optimal movement through water. Belly flaps 11, also follow a sympathetic curve to the strakes and thickened hip joints 12 for heavy duty use.
[0036] FIG. 4 Shows conceptually what the invention looks like when viewed from below. It features belly flaps 13 on the back 60% of its stomach 14 in order to retain any artificial scent the angler wishes to use and for visual appeal.
[0037] FIG. 5 Shows the cross-sectional sections 15 16 17 that will be referred to in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 AND FIG. 8 respectively.
[0038] FIG. 6 Shows conceptually what the cross-section A-A would comprise of. It shows the broad blunt head section 18, the tapered length of the body through the hole, 19, and the scoop at the back of the hole 20, leading up to the tail 21 showing ample soft plastic body to anchor a hook 20.
[0039] FIG. 7 Shows conceptually what cross-section B-B would comprise of. It shows the narrow walls 22 demonstrating the oval shape of the hole running widthways across the body 23. The strakes are shown low on each side 24, along with the start of the scoop at the rear of the hole 25.
[0040] FIG. 8 Shows conceptually what cross section C-C would comprise . It shows the soft plastic available at the back of the hole 26 where the weedless rigged hook or low set jig head would sit 26. The strakes are shown higher in their curve 27.
