I’m honestly leaning towards the whole idea that it might actually be some type of buoyancy lure maybe a prototype of a fishing company down here in Florida. A little bit more background I was lobster diving in the middle of the Sebastian Inlet probably around 18 or 20 ft deep this thing was stuck to a rock and I don’t know any lures with that short of a lip that could get down that deep. So, I’m starting to think it could be a buoyancy controlling device. I don’t think they’re out on the market yet cuz I’ve searched high and low for this exact lure and came up empty handed online. I did find a patent but it doesn’t look anything like it. I could see where somebody could take butane lighter technology and stick it into a lure. I’m very tempted now to saw the thing in half long ways but I’m kind of worried that it might blow up on me. If I do saw it I’ll post images here for everyone. I just want to wait and see if anyone claims this lure as their own before I damage it.

I tried to get some better pictures of inside the hole for you guys, here is what I got:

Possibly, I guess it could be a hole for weight but I don’t know how it would hold on to the weight since it’s just a hole and inside it looks like a metal circle kind of like what you would see on the bottom of a torch lighter like a refillable butane lighter. Any idea what the name of it is though or brand? Having the manufacturer’s name would definitely clear up the mystery of what the holes for.

One last thing there was no writing on the lure nothing on the lip and nothing on the body.
