Abstract: A two-part semi-buoyant fishing lure that through select design and materials solves the problem of controlling and maintaining the placement of the lure without the usual complicated rig system accompaniment. The balance of weight that enables an angler to place and keep the lure in the top three feet of water, where it will be most attractive to top water fish, is derived from the combination of a buoyant head and a solid soft body. If pull is maintained, it will stay in the area three feet or less from the surface. The shape of the head allows for a true straight pull. It also looks like live bait and behaves in a manner attractive to top water fish, including popular sport fish. Further, a kink in the shank holds the head on and prevents its rotation relative to the body portion of the lure during use.
