1. A castable object comprising:
a structure comprising:
a first distal end having a first substantially planar face;
a second distal end having a second substantially planar face;
a first substantially planar lateral face;
a second substantially planar lateral face opposite the first substantially planar lateral face;
a third substantially planar lateral face disposed between the first substantially planar lateral face and the second substantially planar lateral face, the third substantially planar lateral face being adjacent to the first substantially planar lateral face and adjacent to the second substantially planar lateral face; and
a fourth substantially planar lateral face opposite the third substantially planar lateral face, the fourth substantially planar lateral face being disposed between the first substantially planar lateral face and the second substantially planar lateral face, the fourth substantially planar lateral face being adjacent to the first substantially planar lateral face and adjacent to the second substantially planar lateral face, the first substantially planar lateral face being disposed between the fourth substantially planar lateral face and the third substantially planar lateral face, the second substantially planar lateral face being disposed between the third substantially planar lateral face and the fourth substantially planar lateral face, wherein:
the first substantially planar lateral face, the second substantially planar lateral face, the third substantially planar lateral face, and the fourth substantially planar lateral face are adjacent to the first substantially planar face of the first distal end and substantially at or at the second substantially planar face of the second distal end;
the second substantially planar face has a greater surface area than the first substantially planar face;
a first portion of the structure proximate the second distal end has a greater weight than a second portion of the structure proximate the first distal end, such that the second substantially planar face of the second distal end is configured to contact a target responsive to casting the castable object;
the castable object is configured to have a plurality of properties that are substantially similar to that of fishing tackle, the plurality of properties comprising size, trajectory, and air resistance, the fishing tackle being one or more of a lure, a spinner, or fishing tackle securing bait; and
the first substantially planar face, the second substantially planar face, the first substantially planar lateral face, the second substantially planar lateral face, the third substantially planar lateral face, and the fourth substantially planar lateral face substantially form a trapezoidal prism, wherein each of the first substantially planar lateral face, the second substantially planar lateral face, the third substantially planar lateral face, and the fourth substantially planar lateral face comprise a corresponding perimeter consisting of a corresponding first edge, a corresponding second edge, a corresponding third edge, and a corresponding fourth edge, wherein no other edges or faces are within the corresponding perimeter;
a fastener coupled to the first distal end of the structure, wherein:
the fastener comprises an eye bolt, screw eye, or eyelet; and
the fastener is configured to couple to a fishing system comprising a casting device connected to a retrieving device; and
a first continuous fastening structure attached to the second substantially planar face of the second distal end of the structure, the first substantially planar lateral face, and the second substantially planar lateral face without being attached to the third substantially planar lateral face and the fourth substantially planar lateral face, wherein:
the first continuous fastening structure comprises a first flexible resilient material secured to a first continuous base sheet material;
the first flexible resilient material comprises a plurality of hooks or a plurality of loops;
the castable object is configured to be cast by the fishing system onto the target;
the first continuous fastening structure is configured to removably attach to a second fastening surface of the target; and
the first continuous fastening structure is configured to disengage from the second fastening surface of the target responsive to the retrieving device retracting a fishing line coupled to the fastener.
