Abstract
The body of a fishing lure has a rod extending therefrom to which is tethered, by fishing line, a fishing hook. The body has an elastomeric band thereabout, and the shank of the hook and the rod-to-hook fishing line are stowed within the band in a set up, ready to snare a fish. With a fish strike at the hook, the hook and line withdraw from the band, rearwardly of the lure body, while the lure body is trolled or reeled forwardly. In turn, the hook reaches the end of its line-tether, and comes to a sudden halt, whereby the fish is deeply hooked.
