Abstract
A jig-type fishing lure which includes a jig head having a portion of a hook shank embedded therein. The hook extends rearwardly from the jig head through a curved bight portion to a barb, and the lure further includes a bore or passageway extending through the jig head parallel to the hook shank in the upper portion of the jig head. A flexible retrieving line is extended through the bore so that one end of this line can be secured around the shank of the hook immediately rearwardly from the jig head. The line emerges from the bore through the jig head at its forward end. Deflecting bristles extend from one side of the jig head toward the barb of the hook and function to enable the lure to more effectively traverse weeds and other obstructions without fouling.
