Abstract
A fishing lure comprises a flexible lure body having a preformed cavity therein. The cavity has a leading end and a trailing end, and the lure body has an insert opening through the exterior thereof into the cavity. An insert mounted in the cavity is selectively removable therefrom through the insert opening. The insert has a leading end disposed adjacent the leading end of the cavity and a trailing end disposed adjacent the trailing end of the cavity. The insert is either preformed with or forcibly malleable to assume a configuration differing from that assumed by the cavity in a relaxed condition without said insert therein. The insertion of the insert into the cavity will thus cause deflection of the lure body in a direction from the leading end to the trailing end and alter the external configuration of the lure body.
