## Abstract

The invention relates to amateur fishing, in particular, to the artificial lure with a movable petal (plate) of type ‘in-line spinners’, and it can be used for amateur fishing of predatory fish by trolling, jigging, plumb baiting and uniform bottom leading at great depths, as well as it can be used during winter time in ice-free basins in open water for fishing at wells. In the first variant of the design, the vibrating lure comprises an elongated holder with at least one hole for fixing the fishing line, a load at its front portion, a hook at its rear portion, and a plate movably attached to the holder. The holder is performed as a convex curved metal axle (shaft), which front and rear portions are bent downwards in the vertical plane and are threaded with a gap into two holes of the longitudinally elongated plate, those holes being performed in the front and rear portions of the plate on its longitudinal axis that is also its axis of symmetry; the ends of the bent portions of the holder are diverged apart. The load is attached at the front end of the bent portion of the holder, and at the rear portion, there is a loop for the hook. The holes for attaching the fishing line are performed on top of the holder in the vertical plane, and they are arranged above the longitudinal axis of the plate over the area between the nose and middle portions of the plate; and wherein those holes are offset rearwards relative to the center of gravity of the lure. The plate being arranged with its longitudinal axis lengthwise to the holder is performed either flat, or its lateral portions are symmetrically convex curved upwards relative to the longitudinal axis of the plate, wherein the plate being performed with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis in both directions and with the possibility for approach of the raised lateral portions of the plate, which is maximum turned to each side, at the same distance relative to the vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation of the plate and the longitudinal axis of the holder without reaching the mentioned vertical plane by the lateral portions. In the second variant of the design, the vibrating lure comprises a corresponding to the length of the lure and elongated holder with at least one hole for fixing the fishing line, a load at its front portion, a hook at its rear portion, and a plate movably attached to the holder. The narrow elongated holder of the streamlined shape being corresponding to the length of the lure at least in the middle portion is performed volumetric and narrow in the cross section or flat in the vertical plane. It has protrusions at the front and rear portions performed transverse to the longitudinal axis of the holder, and they are arranged in one vertical plane with the flat portion of the holder. The ends of the protrusions are diverged apart, consolidated or longitudinally expanded. The portions of the protrusions, which are arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis of the holder, are threaded with a gap into two holes of the longitudinally elongated plate that are performed in its front and rear portions on the longitudinal axis of the plate being also the axis of its symmetry. The plate is arranged with its longitudinal axis lengthwise to the holder. The holes for attaching the fishing line are performed on the holder, and they are arranged above the longitudinal axis of the plate over the area between the nose and middle portions of the plate. And wherein those holes are offset rearwards relative to the center of gravity of the lure. The lateral portions of the plate are symmetrically convex curved upwards relative to the longitudinal axis of the plate, wherein the plate being performed with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis in both directions and with the possibility of approach of the raised lateral portions of the plate, which is maximum turned to each side, at the same distance relative to the vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation of the plate and the longitudinal axis of the holder without reaching the mentioned vertical plane by the lateral portions. There is increased the lure efficiency in wide range of oscillation frequencies and amplitudes, as well as the ability to self-deepening, obtained high flight characteristics when casting. The vibrating lure is universal and can be applied for different ways of fishing, particularly at great depths, resulting in improved efficiency of catching predatory fish.
