Abstract: A method and apparatus for altering or modifying fishing lures to vary the normal action of the fishing lure during retrieval and to achieve a desired modified action. The apparatus includes a kit of substantially identically sized and uniformly shaped weights. The method consists of affixing any number of the weights to the body lure at any location to achieve the desired modified action, which may include suspending the lure, changing the rate of vertical displacement of the lure or causing the lure to swim or track to the left or right of the fisherman.
