The present invention relates in general to fishing lures, and more specifically, to a contracting fishing lure that provides life-like movement to mimic live bait. The fishing lure is configured so that when the fishing lure is retrieved (e.g., reeled in) or jigged by an angler, or the fishing line is pulled or twitched, the fishing lure transitions from a first non-contracted position to a second contracted position. The purpose of the invention is to provide a fishing lure that will successfully attract fish by displaying a unique action in the water. |

1. A contracting fishing lure, comprising:
a tubular body portion, wherein the tubular body portion comprises a first open end and an opposite second open end; a head portion, wherein the head portion is adjacent the first open end of the tubular body; a channel extending longitudinally through the tubular body portion; a series of flexible ridges and valleys extending around a circumference of the tubular body portion; a tail portion adjacent the second open end of the tubular body portion and opposite the head portion; a fishing hook; a fishing line, wherein the fishing line is drawn through a hole in the head portion, further drawn through the channel extending longitudinally through the tubular body portion, continued through the tail portion, and attached to the fishing hook; and wherein the fishing lure is configured such that when the fishing lure is drawn through water the fishing lure transitions from a first position to a second position, wherein the first position is a non-contracted position and the second position is a contracted position to mimic the appearance of live bait to attract fish; wherein the series of flexible ridges are in uniform longitudinal alignment when the fishing lure is in the first position; and wherein the series of flexible valleys are uniform longitudinal alignment when the fishing lure is in the first position. |
