Abstract
A plastic, pliantly limber grub, which comprises the body of the lure has a fish hook and a separate rod set therewithin, and terminations of the hook and the rod have tethering, filamentary material commonly coupled thereto. The coupled terminations are disposed a given distance therebetween, whereas the filamentary material has a free length which is greater than said given distance; this provides for a lost-motion effect, between the body of the lure and its rod, on the one hand, and the fish hook on the other, pursuant to a fish strike on the hook.
