Abstract
A fishing lure for surface water fishing includes an elongated body having the natural appearance and swimming characteristics of a small bait fish. A plurality of movable weights are carried by the body within an elongated cavity adjacent the rear end of the body. The cavity and weights are constructed and arranged to permit the weights to move within the cavity and urge the body, while floating at rest, to an upstanding position. Upon retrieval of the body along the water's surface, the weights move within the cavity to impart oscillation to the body about an elongated axis extending through the body in opposite directions to produce a rattling sound that attracts fish.
