Abstract: A jig-type fishing lure which simulates the movement of live bait and functions as a weedless fishing lure. The fishing lure includes a typical jig head having a molded head, a hook member, and an attachment eye. A pair of spring arms are attached to the molded head such that the spring arms extend upwardly and outwardly from the molded head and intersect one another. The spring arms contact the bottom of a lake or river to simulate the movement of live bait. Upon contacting a weed, the pair of spring arms deflect to prevent the weed from becoming entangled in the barb of the hook member.
