Abstract
A fishing lure which includes a body having a head portion and a hook extending rearwardly therefrom, and a plurality of thin, elongate strips of chamois attached to the body rearwardly of the head portion and extending outwardly therefrom. The porous chamois material absorbs water to swell in size and become flexible when the lure is immersed in water, giving the lure a life-like appearance. The chamois material is sufficiently porous to absorb fish scent attractants. A preferred attractant is a mixture of propylene glycol and ground live bait, such as shad or crayfish.
