Abstract: A novel fishing lure is provided, which in one embodiment comprises a substantially cone-shaped tube, said tube being of larger diameter at its anterior portion and having a multiplicity of apertures in the sides thereof. The apertures allow sand to be retained within the tube when the lure is cast through the air and further allow said sand to be dispersed from the tube when the lure strikes water.In a second embodiment, the fishing lure comprises a substantially tubular body having a posterior portion and an anterior portion wherein the posterior portion weighs more than the anterior portion. The lure further comprises means at the anterior portion for attaching the lure to a leader, and means at the posterior portion for attaching the lure to a hook.
