The chum lure includes at least one prong or bait rod radially extending from the closed end of the body portion, which is provided to secure solid bait thereon. A cap which includes an eye for attachment of the lure to an appropriate control line or the like, is removably associated with the open end of the body portion to assist in retaining the loaded chum material.
