A pair of deflectable arms are secured at their inner ends to the body, the arms extending downwardly and rearwardly from the body, the outer ends of the arms being spaced away from each other a distance substantially greater than the body width, the arms being sufficiently stiff so as to remain substantially undeflected as the lure is drawn through a body of water.
