There's a whole new kind of fishing lure called a swimbait, of which there is a sub-type that's just a jointed fish shape. You cast it out, and reel it in, and it waves like a flag, looking exactly like a swimming fish. The only thing powering it is hydrodynamics.
- TheHegemon 4y agoNot sure if I would call it "new". Swimbaits have been around for as long as I've been fishing (several decades). However there is definitely way more advanced ones then when I first started fishing.
- drewzero1 4y agoThat's not a new idea at all, unless there's a specific development that I've missed. Jointed and/or flexible swimming lures have been around at least since I was a kid and I'm pretty sure the ones my dad used were old already then. My favorite lures though were the frogs, which had rubber bristles on the back which would pulse when pulled through the water to simulate a frog's legs swimming.
