A fishing lure including a body that includes a head portion, a tail portion, a top side, a bottom side; a transverse slot located at the head portion of the body; a metallic lip pivotably connected to and extending away relative to the slot; a metallic insert placed between the metallic lip and the slot; a connector pivotally connecting the lip to the slot; and at least one eyelet connected to the body.

An improved fishing lure is disclosed that includes an integrated hook harness to which one or more hooks may be movably secured. The hooks are maintained in a neutral state by a retention mechanism provided in the harness that may be released when a fish strikes the lures, allowing the hook to move freely relative to the hook harness and lure body. Because the hook is able to move relative to the hook harness and lure body, the weight of the hook harness and lure body do not act directly on the hook and the likelihood of the fish kicking free is substantially decreased.

Soft bait lures emulating a fish are provided. The lure can provide at least one channel within at least one of the exterior surfaces of the tail. Methods for manufacturing a soft bait fishing lure are also provided. The methods can include removing one or more portions of one or more exterior surfaces of the tail to define one or more channels within the one or more surfaces of the tail. Methods for luring fish using a soft bait fishing lure are also provided. The methods can include channeling at least some of the water through one or more channels within the surface of the tail of the fishing lure.

A lure includes a first body, a second body and a connecting portion. The first body includes a head on a head side and a tail side. The second body includes a tail and is connected to the tail side of the first body. The connecting portion connects the second body to the first body such that the second body is swingable relative to the first body over a swing range that extends to both left and right sides of the lure toward the head side of the first body. The swing range is capable of exceeding 90 degrees on each of the left and right sides, where 0 degrees is defined as when the position of the second body with respect to the first body is such that a line connecting the head and the tail is located on a straight line, as seen in a top view.
