Fishing lure with a built-in, spring-loaded, adjustable diving and release apparatus

A fishing lure with a built-in, spring-loaded, adjustable diving and release apparatus which allows the elimination of the diving plane when a release event occur that would cause a disengagement of the apparatus built into the diving bill. Said fishing lure with a built-in, spring-loaded, adjustable diving and release apparatus is comprised of:

• A diving bill extending outwardly from the front or head portion of the oblong shaped fishing lure body and angled downwardly from the longitudinal axis of the fishing lure body;
• having a top surface that defines the diving plane;
• a rear end;
• a front end;
• a cylinder shaped underside with a cylinder shaped cavity within;
• and having a slot bisecting the top surface from near the front end to the rear end of the diving bill where it intersects the cylinder shaped cavity in the underside of the diving bill.
• Within said cylinder shaped cavity is assembled a diving and release apparatus for the purpose of engaging and holding in position the release hook.
• Said release hook is pivotably mounted near the front end of the diving bill within the slot by its proximal end around a metal pin;
• and having a hook shaped end on the opposite end of the release hook and an eyelet in the rear half of the release hook on its top surface for attachment of a fishing line.
• When said release hook is engaged with the adjustable diving and release apparatus, and pulled through the water by attachment to a fishing line, the diving bill creates a diving plane, sending the fishing lure below the surface of the water.
• When said release hook is disengaged from the catch apparatus, it moves upward and forward around its mounted pivot until its hook shaped end extends upward and forward toward the front end of the diving bill, eliminating the diving plan and causing the lure to ascend to the surface of the water, or be retrieved by the fisherman more easily.
