Abstract: The invention provides fishing lures manufactured of a soft resilient material which becomes translucent when wet disclosing a discernable inner core. With and without the inner core, the change from an apparent solid color to a shimmering translucent appearance makes the lures appear like outlines of fish eggs, crustaceans, and other game fish quarry. With a center core, the darker core areas appear like fish egg vitellus and crustacean inner organs. A dye added to the cover material of the lures produces a translucent image similar in color particular to salmon eggs and to small crayfish.
