Abstract: A plastic tube has a detachable plug acting as a closure to the tube. The plug is hollow and has a needle on the inner end to pierce the tube wall if desired so that soluble bait in the tube gradually dissolves as the lure is used. The hollow plug affects the action of the lure in the water and also can be used to receive soluble bait. The tube can be decorated and supplied with a hook and/or spinner, can be attached to a conventional lure or can be dressed to simulate a fly and used as a dry or wet fly. If the walls of the tube are not pierced, the tube acts as a flotation means for a lure and whether pierced or not, lead shot or the like can be inserted in the tube to control the depth characteristics of the lure.
