Abstract

A fishing lure includes a tubular main body member having a longitudinal central axis. A cap is sealingly fixed to a rearward end of the main body member. A cylindrical guide tube is connected to the cap. A cylindrical inner tube is telescopingly engaged with the guide tube and extends forwardly out of the guide tube to terminate at a forward end. A cylindrical coil spring within the inner tube extends between the cap and inner tube forward end, which creates a jumping motion for the lure, when extended and then released.
