Abstract
A fishing lure is comprised of a hollow semi-rigid body of uniform wall thickness formed from a plastic tube. The lure has a head which is removably mounted to the body. A hook is provided within the body and in alignment with an aperture in the body. When a fish strikes the lure, the body collapses and exposes the hook to impale the fish thereon.
