Abstract: The oscillating fishing lure is a fishing lure comprising a jig having a body with a longitudinal axis, an uppermost surface, a rearward surface, at least one hook, said first hook including a shank and a hook end, said shank being surrounded by and protruding rearwardly from said body, and said hook end being spaced rearwardly behind said rearward surface of said body along said longitudinal axis of said body; a blade having an edge proximal said jig body; and a joining mechanism placed between said body and said blade, wherein at least a first portion of the joining mechanism is mechanically affixed to said body and at least one other portion is mechanically coupled to said blade, whereby retrieval of the lure causes the blade to oscillate. The oscillating-blade action imparts a natural swimming motion to the lure, emulating prey species movements.
