Abstract
An aquatic fishing lure for use with a rod, line and hook, and usually a reel, in the form of a worm comprised of a slender, elongated, soft plastic material inclusive of head, body and tail portions. The body, and suitably the head and tail, is provided with a plurality of studs or projections, preferably hollow studs or projections, which extend perpendicularly outwardly to create simulated movement, and by virtue of which air is trapped, particularly within the hollow openings, to form bubbles which are evolved when the lure is cast into water to simulate live action. Preferably, the body is also hollow, and contains a rattler for creating additional live-like sounds. The worm lure is conveniently injected molded, and the invention also includes a mold suitable for the formation of stud worm fishing lures.
