A lure includes a body having an interior hollow portion, a weight configured to move in the hollow portion, and a support member having a guide portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the body so as to guide the weight and be capable of oscillating inside the hollow portion.

A fishing lure for simulating the motion of dying bait is described. In one embodiment, the fishing lure includes a lure body having a longitudinal line and a nose at a first distal end having a line tie with an anchor secured to the nose of the lure body. The line tie further includes a leg which extends forward and downward from the anchor and at the end of the leg opposite from the anchor an eyelet is provided for connection to a fishing line.

A rattling fishing jig includes a body including an outer envelope. A fishing line eyelet is disposed on an upper portion of the body. At least one noise-making capsule is disposed in the body. A hook shank includes a first hook. The hook shank is connected to the body. The hook shank is in direct contact with the noise-making capsule. A stinger attachment eyelet is disposed on a bottom portion of the body. A continuous wire is disposed in the body. A first end of the continuous wire is connected to the stinger attachment eyelet. A second end of the continuous wire opposite the first end is connected to the fishing line eyelet.

A lure includes a hollow body including a first half-body and a second half-body joined to the first half-body, an oscillating element disposed in the body so as to be capable of oscillating, a first shaft portion disposed on at least one of the first half-body or the second half-body and extending toward the other of the first half-body or the second half-body, and a first spring including a first engagement portion engaging the first shaft portion such that rotation about the first shaft portion is restricted, and connected to and supporting the oscillating element such that the oscillating element is capable of oscillating.

A fishing lure for use in water includes a lure body, a mover assembly and a first line eyelet. The lure body includes a first side and an opposed second side. The first side includes a first side surface and the second side includes a second side surface. The first side surface and the second side surface meet at a surface centerline, with the first side surface and the second side surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the surface centerline. The mover assembly includes a mover that is configured to move the lure body through the water. The first line eyelet is secured to the lure body. The first line eyelet is positioned away from the surface centerline. The fishing lure can further include a plurality of line eyelets, i.e., a second, a third, etc., positioned on the first side surface, the second side surface, and/or the surface centerline.

Operating at constant depth, various embodiments are provided equipped with automatic depth-control mechanisms in dynamic devices such as lures and carriers that acquire and maintain a constant target depth when pulled through a medium such as water. The depth-control mechanism incorporates a mechanical pressure measurement of depth using a bladder with changing dimensionality and mechanical coupling to a variable angle dive plane. The measured pressure is compared with the target depth pressure causing the dive plane angle to adjust and converge to an adjustable target depth with forward motion due to retrieval or trolling. The dive plane extension is optionally a variable angle lip or bill protruding from the front of the lure or a pectoral fin-like configuration. Multi-purpose carriers are provided that can perform various underwater sensing and measuring tasks. Included are systems and methods for using a lure or platform equipped with a depth-controlling device.
