Abstract
A fishing lure having an outer body surrounding an inner upper buoyant portion located above a lower ballast portion and forming a linear, laterally drawn demarcation interface there between. A fishing line attachment is attached at the lure at the demarcation interface. A first lead formed by an elongated, rigid metal rod is directed toward the lower rear portion of the body and attaches to a first multi prong hook. A second lead is formed by an elongated, rigid metal rod directed toward the lower front portion of the body and attaches to a second multi prong hook. Both hooks are physically related in a manner that a resistance forced placed in the direction opposite the line will result in an urging force directing both hooks slightly inward toward each other.
