A convertible fishing lure assembly includes a lure body having at least one body section and a channel extending longitudinally therethrough and terminating in oppositely disposed open ends. A securing member is removably disposable within the channel. The securing member is dimensioned and disposed to include opposite ends being simultaneously disposed through the open ends of the channel for connection to fishing tackle components disposed exteriorly of the body section. Both the channel and the securing member have corresponding cross-sectional configurations to restrict rotation of the securing member within the channel. The lure body may include a plurality of body sections each having a channel extending therethrough with a securing member removably disposed therein, wherein the body sections are movably interconnected to one another through interconnection of corresponding ends of the different securing members.

An improved mechanical lure with articulated legs preferably includes a housing, a gearbox, a pair of legs, a plastic sealing film, a gearbox case and at least one hook. The housing preferably includes an upper housing member and a lower housing member. The gearbox includes a gearbox unit, a winding reel and a pulling line. The winding reel with the pulling line and an offset drive shaft extend from the gearbox unit. The gearbox unit is filled with a lubricant. The plastic sealing film is applied to the gearbox unit to cover a plurality of holes including a lubricant injection opening. The gearbox case includes an upper case member and a lower case member. The gearbox case is sized to receive the plastic film wrapped gearbox unit. The pair of legs include first and second leg drive members. The first and second leg drive members are driven by the offset drive shaft. The appendage(s) of the mechanical lure is comprised of thermoplastic for increased buoyancy.

A fishing lure; the fishing lure includes a head segment, a body segment, a plurality of legs and a claw segment. The fishing lure simulates the appearance, movement, and sound of a crustacean, particularly a crawfish or a lobster, in order to provide a lifelike artificial bait to attract fish. The lure includes leg segments and claws can include multiple segments. A pivoting magnetic joint connects between the tail segment and body segment. Sometimes, the magnets on the body segment interact with the magnets on the tail segment to temporarily hook components in reference to each other.

Lure apparatus for fishing and associated methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the lure apparatus includes (1) a head portion; (2) a tail portion; and (3) an optional weight portion. The head portion and the tail portion are operably engaged. The head portion has a center opening, which enables a fishing line or wire to pass through. The optional weight portion is positioned inside the head portion to adjust the weight of the overall lure apparatus. The head portion has two side openings. The tail portion has two arms, each of which has a protrusion configured to be positioned in a corresponding one of the two side openings of the head portion. Once the two protrusions are positioned in the side openings, the two protrusions engage with the head portion and restrain the tail portion from moving relatively to the head portion.
