The Sinking Lure is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. This lure is illegal to use when fishing since it sinks straight to the bottom of the water, and attracts fish easily with its shiny surface. The Sinking Lure can be used to catch the biggest fish; however, due to its illegality, Link will generally not receive any prize for fish caught with this lure. As of Majora's Mask 3D, however, the Sinking Lure has lost its illegal status.
