Abstract
A fishing lure comprising a fishhook, a bag formed of open-mesh material closed at one end and open at the other end having a drawstring for drawing the open end closed thereby enclosing at least a portion of the fishhook within the bag, and a leader attached to the fishhook and extending through the closed end of the bag. The bait may be placed on the fishhook in the bag or in the bag without being placed on the fishhook and the bag then closed by the drawstring, the bait being readily visually and/or olfactorily attractive to fish by reason of the open-mesh characteristic of the bag and the barb of the fishhook readily penetrating the bag by reason of its open-mesh characteristic for being struck by a fish.
