Abstract: A fish catching system includes a decapod-shaped lure having a body and a tail. The fish catching system further includes a sleeve or weight with an aperture therethrough coupled with the tail to provide an aperture at the tail thereof. A fishing line passes through the sleeve or the aperture of the weight, which secures the fishing line at the tail. The fishing line further attaches to a hook secured to the body of the lure, thereby placing the lure in a first position. Pulling the fishing line facilitates movement of the tail underneath the body to place the lure in a second position, and releasing the fishing line returns the tail to the first position of the lure.
