a hollow body having a leading end and a trailing end and the body having an access opening, formed in the leading end, which provides access to an internal compartment contained within the body to facilitate loading of bait within the internal compartment; at least one hook, for catching a fish, being attached to and directly extending from the fishing lure, at least a portion of the hollow body being located between the at least one hook and the leading end; an eye hook being attached adjacent the leading end to facilitate attachment of the fishing lure to a fishing line; a removable flexible casing covering both the leading end of the fishing lure and the access opening to the internal compartment, the flexible casing comprises at least one flap which at least partially covers and obstructs the access opening so as to captively retain the bait within the internal compartment, and the casing at least partially obstructing the access opening to the internal compartment while permitting water to flow into the internal compartment during use of the fishing lure; and at least one opening being provided at the body to allow a scent of the bait to emanate out from the internal compartment as the water flows past the casing in through the access opening, into the internal compartment and out through the at least one opening, as the fishing lure is pulled through the water during use thereof. |
