1. A fishing lure assembly comprising:
a crank bait lure;
a spinner blade;
a spinnerbait jig; and
a fixture wire having a length that terminates at oppositely-disposed upper and lower distal ends of the fixture wire, the fixture wire coupling the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig together to define the fishing lure assembly, the fixture wire spacing the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig apart from one another along the length of the fixture wire, and the fixture wire providing a common connection point for securing the crank bait lure, the spinner blade, and the spinnerbait jig to a fishing line, the fixture wire having a V-shape that defines upper and lower legs, an intersection of the upper and lower legs at a bend that forms the common connection point, and a V-shaped space formed by and between the upper and lower legs, the upper and lower legs extending in a rearward direction from the common connection point such that the V-shaped space is located in the rearward direction of the common connection point, the crank bait lure being coupled to the upper distal end of the fixture wire at an end of the upper leg, the spinnerbait jig being coupled to the lower distal end of the fixture wire at an end of the lower leg, and the spinner blade being coupled to the fixture wire at an attachment point formed in the upper leg and at a location in a first portion of the length of the fixture wire that is above the common connection point and closer to the common connection point than to the upper distal end of the upper leg; and
the attachment point of the spinner blade being an arc-shaped bend that is physically defined in and by the first portion of the length of the fixture wire and one end of the arc-shaped bend is at but separate from the common connection point, the arc-shaped bend protruding from the upper leg into the V-shaped space and above the common connection point, the arc-shaped bend having a radius that is larger than the bend that forms the common connection point.
