A lure comprising:
- a head, a tail, a first channel extending inside the head to the tail, a pair of hind legs extending from the tail and including a first leg having a first knee and a first foot, a second leg having a second knee and a second foot, the first leg and the second leg form a space between the first knee and the second knee, and the first foot being connected to the second foot forming a foot body having a second channel;
- wherein the lure is configured to receive a line having a first end and a second end, the second end extending through the first channel, through the space, and into the second channel and through the foot body, the second end being connected to a hook;
- wherein the pair of hind legs are made of a material that allows the hind legs to bend and then revert to an extended shape, such that the legs use elastic energy to pull the line against the water to move the lure;
- and
- wherein:
- pulling the first end of the line causes the pair of hind legs to be in a loaded state, wherein the hook moves to the foot body, the first and second legs bend at the first and second knees respectively, and the foot body is pulled towards the tail;
