Hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus

A hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus, comprising:

• an artificial lure having a body, the body taking a form that resembles an exocoetidae, the body comprising a pair of retractable wing-like pectorals, a head, and a caudal fin;
• and
• a hydrofoil that comprises a strut and a lifting surface, the strut of the hydrofoil being attached to the body of the artificial lure that takes the form that resembles the exocoetidae, the strut comprising a pair of wing retraction elements which are operably connected to the pair of retractable wing-like pectorals, wherein articulation of the pair of wing retraction elements results in articulation of the pair of retractable wing-like pectorals such that when the pair of wing retraction elements contact water and articulate as a result, the pair of retractable wing-like pectorals articulate even when the pair of retractable wing-like pectorals avoid contact with the water, and when the pair of wing retraction elements avoid contact with the water the pair of retractable wing-like pectorals spread out from the body of the artificial lure.
