Fishing lure

A fishing lure comprising:

• a buoyant housing having a top portion and bottom portion;
• an inner ring having an aperture passing through it, said inner ring being sandwiched in between the top and bottom portions of the buoyant housing;
• an outer ring that covers at least a portion of the inner ring to define a channel, the outer ring having an aperture passing through it;
• a power source and electronic controlling element placed within the buoyant housing;
• a pair of conduction lines in electrical communication with the power source and fixed relative to the inner ring, said conduction lines passing through the aperture in the inner ring, wrapping around the channel to define an excess length, and passing through the aperture in the outer ring with the remaining length defining a free length;
• a submersible module attached to the conduction lines and comprising:
• an electrical actuator in electrical communication with the conduction lines;
• a means for propelling the submersible module through the water, said means attached to the electrical actuator;
• and
• a hook attached to the electrical actuator.

A fishing lure comprising:

• a buoyant housing having a threaded opening;
• a means for attaching fishing line to the buoyant housing;
• a battery with associated contacts placed within the buoyant housing;
• an electronic controlling element placed within the buoyant housing and in electrical communication with the battery and associated contacts;
• a pair of conduction lines in electrical communication with the power source;
• a submersible module having a front and rear portion comprising:
• an electric motor in electrical communication with the conduction lines, said electric motor having a drive shaft oriented near the front of the submersible module;
• a propeller attached to the drive shaft at the front portion of the submersible module;
• a hook attached to the electric motor and placed at the rear portion of the submersible module;
• a cable having a first end fastened to the buoyant housing and a second end fastened to the submersible module;
• and
• a cap having threads corresponding to the threads in the opening in the buoyant housing such that the battery is engaged by the contacts when the cap is sufficiently threaded into the opening;
