Abstract: A combination of a fishing lure and a fishing hook is disclosed in which the leading end of the lure body is formed of a flexible plastic material and is restrained from moving down the shank of the hook when the fishing lure is pulled through the water and strikes some object, allows the lure body to remain in a straight, full-length position on the hook which makes the lure a more effective lure for attracting fish, does not require the fisherman to take time to continually readjust the lure on the hook after casting and subsequent withdrawal of the lure and hook from the water, and increases the usable life of the lure, since no tearing of the lure body occurs from sliding on the hook. The lure body may be in any desired form or shape, such as a worm, or other creature used for bait.
