An air ballast formed by at least one cavity region provided within one or more portions of the single piece soft bodied lure material and extending from a vicinity of the first end of the single piece soft bodied lure material toward the second end of the single piece soft bodied lure material. The device has a lower portion of the soft bodied lure member bordering a lower portion of the cavity region and an upper portion of the single piece soft bodied lure member bordering an upper portion of the cavity region. An outer region is formed from the single piece soft bodied lure material. An opening is within the upper portion of the single piece soft bodied lure member. The device also has hook member having an eyelet and a shank, which extends from the eyelet to at least one bend section configured in an annular manner and having at least one portion extending back toward a direction of the eyelet and terminating at a point.
