Abstract

An improved fishing lure is disclosed for attaching a bait to a fishing line comprising a lure head having a front aperture for enabling the fishing line to extend therethrough. The lure head has an insert cavity and a first side panel defining a locking aperture. A lure insert comprises an insert portion and a second side panel supporting a locking pin. The fishing line is restrained from movement relative to the lure insert whereas the locking pin extends through the bait for restraining the movement of the bait relative thereto. The lure insert is insertable within the insert cavity with the fishing line extending through the front aperture and with the locking aperture cooperating with the locking pin for interlocking the lure insert to the lure head and for retaining the bait between the first and second side panels.
