Abstract
A novel design for a fishing lure which makes for easy attachment to and detachment from a fishing line. The lure is preferably made with a resilient material which tends to return to its original closed shape after manual manipulation to insert a fishing line into a slit in the lure. In a second embodiment, a substantially helical slot is provided in the lure for frictional attachment to a fishing line. In another embodiment, a substantially linear slot is provided through the lure for passage therethrough of a fishing line, and the lure is provided with helical spring shaped line guides for encircling and thereby attaching the lure to the fishing line.
