Abstract: A fishing lure with an internal bait storage cavity is provided. The fishing lure includes a removable, rigid, plate to securely confine the bait within the lure body cavity, even when subjected to a fish bite. The surrounding water is permitted to immerse the bait within the cavity through smaller holes in the lure body. The lure body is formed and painted to resemble a fish. Eyelets are positioned at both ends of the lure body to enable fishhooks to be attached at either one or both ends of the lure body. A coated wire is positioned axially within the lure body and is coupled at each end to an eyelet to ensure that the hook remains linked to the fishing line in the event the lure body is damaged.
