ABSTRACT:
An artificial "plug" or "crankbait" fishing lure that once cast, or placed in the water, dives unaided (without applying line force) vertically to the lake or river bottom or until retrieved. As it dives it wobbles in a fish attracting manner (e.g. as if it were a wounded bait fish). Once on the bottom it comes to rest with its treble hook supported well off the bottom, to avoid snagging. When retrieved by reeling in, it exhibits a fish-attracting wobble. The lure has unlimited operating depth. Once in the water the lure can reach any depth by letting it dive vertically on a slack (no tension) line to the desired depth and then retrieving it by manipulating the fishing rod in conjunction with the reeling speed. The lure can be bounced along the bottom during the retrieve or kept swimming in open water. A retrieval mode commonly called "jigging" by fishermen (making a saw-tooth path by alternate lure dives and reel cranking while manipulating the rod tip) can effectively be achieved.
