ABSTRACT:
A simulative fishing lure for attracting and catching fish who prey on lobsters. The fishing lure is comprised of a fishing jig removably retained by a body cavity within a resiliently deformable simulative lobster body. A preferred fishing jig is comprised of a structure formed from a single member of generally rigid but ductile material. A mechanism for attaching a fishing line is fixed to an anterior portion of the jig, a mechanism for attaching a ballast is attached to a middle portion of the jig, and a mechanism for attaching a fish hook is attached to a posterior portion of the jig. A shock absorber is interposed between the fishing line attaching mechanism and the fish hook attaching mechanism. A hook shank retainer comprised of a volume of resiliently compressible material with a slit therein is attached to a posterior portion of the fishing lure. The simulative body portion has a multiplicity of vent holes for permitting air to escape from the body cavity. A flap is included in an underside of the fishing lure body for providing greater access to the body cavity, and a bait scent pad may be contained within the body cavity.
