Abstract:

A head fishing lure including a head formed of substantially strong, solid, yet lightweight material, the head including an axial bore extending through a rear face thereof, the axial bore being adapted to receive a bait fish at least partially therein, and including a small axial opening extending from the front face thereof wherethrough a fishing line is passed. The head includes a surrounding channel disposed in a surrounding side wall surface thereof at a point substantially adjacent a distal end of the head, the channel defining a lip at the distal end of the head whereover an elongate skirt formed of a substantially flexible, resilient, durable material is passed to secure the skirt, which includes an interior diameter substantially equivalent to an exterior diameter of the head at the surrounding channel thereof, to the head, the skirt further being adapted to surround the bait fish inserted into the head such that the bait fish will be substantially protected during use and accordingly be useable for an extended period of time.
