Abstract
A fishing lure is described containing a cast of a natural bait encased in a castable transparent material designed in hydrodynamically correct shapes and to operate at different depths by utilizing an adjustable buoyancy device. A cast of a natural bait being the embodiment of a natural bait in the form of a castable material taken from the cast of a natural bait and then painted, to which an adjustable buoyancy device is incorporated by containment within the lure or attachment to the lure of a sealed air chamber wherein the adjustable portion consists of a cylinder which is threaded on the inside to accommodate a set screw/gasket seal combination. Rotation of the set screw varies the lure's buoyancy by compressing the air in the air chamber thus varying the fluid displacement volume of the lure and also changing the center of gravity of the lure. Alternatively, the cast can be of a part of the natural bait or a section or surface texture of the bait.
