Abstract

A fishing lure of the type coupled to a fishing line and the shank section of a barbed fishing hook. The fishing lure includes an elongated housing which defines therein a housing void for receiving the shank section of the fishing hook. A small bore communicates through the front end of the housing into the housing void for allowing the fishing line to pass therethrough, thereby allowing the housing to move in a forward direction along the fishing line away from the fishing hook after the barbed fishing hook has been struck by a fish.
