ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure including a jig and a body. The body may be formed in the shape of any suitable bait, for example, a craw-dad, and includes a top wall and side walls to define a channel for receiving the jig. To maintain the body in a horizontal position during movement through the water, a shank having a central horizontal portion; a front upwardly inclined portion; and a rear downwardly inclined portion is provided. A novel keeper formed from lead ballast is provided for holding the body to the jig. The keeper works in conjunction with the jig eye, which protrudes through the front portion of the body for affixing the body to the jig. An upwardly curved hook, hidden beneath the body, engages the body to act as a third keeper. The front of the body may be provided with a spring-like flap for skipping the lure over stones and other foreign objects.
