Abstract
A soft bait fish lure of the two-component variety having a rigid, hollow head and a soft and flexible rearmost body and tail fin of the lure. Each component includes a flat plate having opposing surfaces which are joined together by a snap-lock device. The head plate includes a pair of projections arranged in fixed spaced-apart relationship with each projection having a tapered head spaced from the surface of the plate. The plate associated with the rearmost and fin portion of the lure includes a pair of apertures for aligning with the projections and permits insertion of the projections through the apertures wherein a shank of each projection is then manipulated into a keyway on each of the respective apertures to establish proper alignment between the plates and the component parts as well as to provide a fixed securement therebetween.
