ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure for use with a line having terminal gear has a flexible tubular body; a head member attachable to the tubular body at one end and having at least one axial bore therethrough; an end cap attachable to the tubular body at the other end and having at least one axial bore therethrough. The lure is threadable over the line, which passes through the bore in the head, through the tubular member and through the bore in the end cap. The bore in the end cap is sufficiently small to prevent the terminal gear, including a hook, from passing therethrough, whereby the lure flexes on the line as the lure is pushed through the water by the terminal gear engaging the end cap, as the terminal gear is itself pulled through the water by the line. The lure may further comprise first and second elastic members tightly engaging around the lure and spaced from one another, under which a section of the line may be releasably held. The lure may still further comprise a self-contained chemical light disposed in the tubular body and a decorative skirt member overfitting the flexible body and portions of the terminal gear.
