ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention discloses a lure, a lure guide, or the like, utilizing a gravity activated diverter which causes them to follow an irregular pattern to simulate the swimming pattern of a minnow. A body member is provided with a first passageway extending transversely thereof a short distance rearwardly of the forward end and opening through the side surfaces of the body member. A second passageway extends in from the forward end of the body member and communicates with the second passageway at a point intermediate the sides of the body member. A combination check and flap valve is provided on each side surface. The flap valve is hinged at a forward point relative to the side opening and allows only outward flow of water from the transverse passageway through the sides. A ball is disposed in the transverse passageway and is associated with the flap valves for controlling the outward flow of water through one or the other of the valve assemblies depending upon the positioning of the ball resulting from gravitational or side thrust forces acting on the body member. The movement of the ball relative to the valves causes unbalanced water pressure at one or the other of the side surface openings to cause the body member to change direction in an irregular movement. Pole line connecting means are provided on the top forward portion of the body member to control direction of movement and diving capabilities. The device may be shaped like a minnow, including forming the flap valves at the sides to resemble gills. Also, the forward opening in the body member can be enlarged and made to resemble an open mouth of a minnow. Also within the concept of the invention is a shiftable weight attached to the device for providing the fisherman with a great number of dive choices.
