1. A lure comprising:
a body having a cavity inside;
a bar fixed to and extending from an interior wall of the cavity into the cavity;
an oscillating portion disposed in the cavity, the oscillating portion being visible from outside and configured to emit light and including a hole therein, larger than the bar, that receives the bar; and
a connecting member that attaches the oscillating portion to the body oscillatably and is made of a polymer elastomer, a first end of the connecting member on a body side being fixedly connected to the body, and a second end of the connecting member on an oscillating portion side being fixedly connected to the oscillating portion, such that resilient deformation of the connecting member allows movement of the oscillating portion relative to the body;
wherein contact between the bar and the hole limits motion of the oscillating portion in front-back and vertical directions.
