Abstract
An artificial fishing lure is disclosed having a main body with a streamer detachably connected thereto. The body is cast from a weighted material such as lead with an open cavity and the locking portion of a clasp formed in the rear portion thereof. A wire bail is pivotally attached to said body, overlies a portion thereof and is received in said locking portion, whereby said bail, said body and said locking portion cooperate to define a clasp assembly on said body. The clasp assembly as formed is then used to detachably secure said streamer to said body to provide a universally adaptable fishing lure.
