An artificial fish lure includes a wire form line tie that includes a central upwardly arched portion connecting a downwardly extending leg portion or portions, and arm elements extending longitudinally from the bottom of the leg portions. The arch and leg portions of the wire form project through an elongated longitudinal slot in the top surface of the lure and the fishing line is secured to the upper closed end of the line tie. The slot in the line is tapered so that it is wider at the top than at the bottom, and the longitudinally extending arms are confined in a channel at the bottom of the slot so that the line tie can pivot laterally about the arms to enable the lure to pivot or rock from side to side as it is drawn through the water during retrieval. In one embodiment, the slot includes a forward edge that tends to hold the line tie like a detent in a centralized position when the fishing line initially pulls on the lure until the lure has dived beneath the surface of the water to a desired extent. The diving action frees the line tie from the front edge of the slot so that the lure is then free to rock from side to side within the limits of the tapered sidewalls of the slot.
