ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure for securing bait includes an elongated upper jaw having a front end and a rear end; an elongated lower jaw having a front end and a rear end and a lower surface; a pivotal connection hinge between the front end of the upper jaw and the front end of the lower jaw; a first row of teeth on an interior surface of the upper jaw; a second row of teeth affixed to an interior surface of the lower jaw, the first row of teeth facing the second row of teeth, wherein bait fish are secured between the first row of teeth and the second row of teeth; a hook connected to the rear end of the lower jaw; and a buoyant element secured to the upper jaw front end to elevate the front end relative to the rear end. The fishing lure preferably additionally includes a keel extending longitudinally along and protruding outwardly from the lower jaw for minimizing lateral drifting of the lure. The fishing lure preferably additionally includes a top half wall attached to the upper jaw forward of the first row of teeth; and a bottom half wall attached to the lower jaw forward of the second row of teeth, where closing the upper jaw to the lower jaw enables the top half wall to cause a closure against the bottom half wall for keeping water from washing the bait out.
