Abstract: A fishing lure is made with a spring steel strip about 0.01".times.3/16".times.6". A 1/16" wire is attached to the front and rear to provide means for attaching a fishing line in front and a treble hook in rear. The strip is covered by a rubber tube or sleeve which is plugged around the wire in the front and the rear to form an air compartment and the rubber tube extends back to the treble hook to the cover the points thereof and also to form a stink bait compartment. The depth which the lure runs is dependent upon buckshot attached to the front or inflation of the tube by an air valve.
