A fishing lure that moves laterally when pulled through a body of water, the fishing lure comprising:

• a lure body having a pair of side portions that, together, define an interior area and an upper slit in communication with said interior area;
• an insert member positioned in the interior area of the lure body and having an upper section extending upwardly through said upper slit, the upper section of said insert member defining a plurality of harness holes arranged along front and upper edges of the insert member;
• wherein said insert member includes a weight mechanism proximate a lower edge of said insert member that is configured to selectively modify a buoyancy of the lure body;
• a wire harness having an upper prong selectively extending through a selected harness hole of the plurality of harness holes, the wire harness having a predetermined contoured configuration that, when attached to the selected harness hole of the plurality of harness holes, modifies a direction and movement of the lure body in response to water resistance;
• wherein the weight mechanism includes a plurality of slots adjacent to and spaced apart from one another along said lower edge of the insert member, each slot of the plurality of slots configured to selectively receive a weight member therein so as to alter the buoyancy and movement characteristics of the lure body;
• wherein said pair of side portions of said lure body include bottom edges that, together, define a plurality of apertures aligned with said plurality of slots, each aperture of said plurality of apertures being configured to receive respective weight members into respective slots of said weight mechanism.
