A lure system with an adaptable insitu bill assembly is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a bill assembly consists of bill base detachably interconnected with a bill extender. The bill base is fixedly attached to the face of the head portion of the lure. In accordance with the concept of the present invention, the leading edges of the bill base are shaped to correspond to the configuration of the recess region of the bill extender, contained on the upper surface thereof. This recess region is preferably constructed with a longitudinal channel, and pair of substantially hemispherical cavities. Thus, the recess region of bill extender receives the corresponding leading edges of the bill base. Preferably, the keyway contained on the bill base is slidably inserted into the corresponding channel contained in the recess of the bill extender. In addition to the security imparted by the channel means, the bill extender under the concept of the present invention is further secured to the bill base by the cooperation between preferably a pair of hemispherical cavities and a corresponding pair of nipple-like projections.
