Abstract
A fishing lure comprises a lure body having outer surfaces defining the general overall exterior size and configuration of the lure as a whole. The outer surfaces include an upper surface and a lower surface. The lure body has a cavity extending therethrough in a generally horizontal direction corresponding to the length of the cavity, the cavity having width extending transverse to the length and generally horizontally, and depth extending transverse to the length and generally vertically. The width is greater than the depth over a major portion of the length of the cavity, and the configuration of the cavity is dissimilar to the overall external configuration of the lure body. The lure body has an insert opening through the exterior thereof into one end of the cavity. The lure further comprises an insert slidably mounted in the cavity but selectively removable from the cavity through the insert opening. The insert has length, width, and thickness generally parallel to the corresponding dimensions of the cavity, the width of the insert being greater than its thickness over a major portion of its length.
