Abstract:

An artificial fishing lure has adjustable body parts, or in the alternative, interchangeable body parts, so that the swimming action of the lure can be altered among distinct swimming patterns by adjustments that for the most part eliminate, after the lure has been fully rigged onto fishing line with terminal tackle, the need for the angler from having to cut the line. That way, anglers can variously alter the swimming pattern of the lure among several distinct patterns without having to cut the line to do so.
