fishing lure

Angler's artificial bait

A fishing lure is an artificial bait designed to attract fish.

Unlike live bait, lures are reusable devices made of plastic, metal, wood, or feathers, shaped and colored to mimic prey—minnows, insects, frogs.

Different types include spinners, jigs, spoons, and crankbaits, each designed to move through water in ways that trigger strikes: He tied on a new lure and cast toward the reeds.
