Abstract: A fishing lure for attracting fish species, the fishing lure comprising a body, a first pivot on the body, a second pivot on the body and spaced from the first pivot. A bridge is between the first pivot and the second pivot, the bridge resiliently deformable from a neutral position to a forward position. A pivot arm extends from the first pivot and is operably coupled to the bridge so that deformation of the bridge towards the forward position causes the pivot arm to rotate in a first direction and resilient recovery of the bridge towards the neutral position causes the pivot arm to rotate in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, providing a simulated action of a limb. The body maybe formed to represent a bait species such as a frog, fish, bug, insect, crab, turtle, lizard, fly, cicada, dragonfly, squid, cuttlefish or imaginary creature.

Abstract: A fishing lure including a body and a mounting assembly configured to releasably hold a hook array to the body. The mounting assembly includes an eye retainer for pivotally retaining an eye of the hook array, and a catch spaced from the eye retainer, the catch adapted to engage two shafts of the hook array. The catch is shaped to engage and release the hook array subsequent to elastic relative movement between the two shafts. The eye retainer maybe any suitable shape permitting loading of the hook. The catch may include a contact section positioned for first contact with a hook array when loading onto the catch, and a retention section for positioning of the hook array when loaded.
