Abstract: A lure is provided that allows for a great variety of weights, action and appearance of the lure by interchangeable parts, saving the fisherman time, money, space and weight over buying and carrying a number of separate lure comparable to the permutations available with this lure. The lure has a transparent tube into which different weighted and attractive beads can be inserted after being threaded onto the fishing line. The lure tube has a protruding lip in which there are a number of holes. Threading the fishing line through particular holes governs the kind of action the lure will have when pulled by the line through the water.

Abstract: In fishing tackle depth planers, it is common to have a device that planes downward in the water until a fish's strike trips a release mechanism, at which time the planer assumes a non-diving orientation and is more easily retrieved up through the water. A device is provided that not only dives in a pre-release, trolling orientation, but also actively planes toward the surface after the release when the device is pulled backward by a fish away from the fisherman. The device accomplishes this with a tubular construction and means for connecting both the leading and trailing fishing lines in correct positions on the device to achieve the desired effects in the water.
