The invention relates to amateur and sport fishing and can be used for catching predatory fish either directly over the surface of water with the lure ability to appear onto the surface of water particularly when posting at low speed, or for posting in the near-surface layer of water, and also it can be suitable for fishing with a spinning by means of uniform posting method and also twitching technique. The surface lure comprises a longitudinally elongated convex curved plate, metal load, device for fixing a fishing line in the front portion of the lure, at least one hook at the tail portion of the lure. The metal load is performed longitudinally elongated, flattened in the vertical plane, with the upper edge being of narrowed and rectilinear form or concave form in the middle of the same. In front of and behind the metal load, there are provided two rods projecting upwardly in the vertical plane: above the upper edge of the load and threaded with a gap through the holes of the longitudinally elongated and curved plate located on the top of the load. The holes are performed in the front and rear portions of the plate on its longitudinal axis, which is also its axis of symmetry. The ends of the rods are longitudinally separated apart or directed towards each other. The device for fixing the fishing line is made in the form of an eyelet or a vertical and flat projection in front of the load with a hole, which hole or eyelet are brought forward relative to the lure center of gravity and they are arranged in front of the metal load at its lower edge with the indentation downwardly relative to the longitudinal axis of the plate. The side portions of the longitudinally elongated and curved plate are symmetrically bent downward relative to its longitudinal axis, while the plate is attached to the load with the possibility of its rotation about its longitudinal axis in both directions through the same angle from the position, at which the side edges of the plate are locate
