This invention relates to a fishing lure having a flexible body portion. The body portion has means for attaching a hook to one end and a fishing line to the other end. The body portion is formed by a flexible core element with radially extending flexible fibers from the core element. Because of the flexibility of the radially extending fibers, a "soft" body portion is formed resulting in the advantage that the fish has a tendency to keep the lure in its mouth longer. The fibers are longer at the middle of the body portion and continually get shorter towards the ends in a tapering fashion such that the body portion has a minnow-like shape. The body portion, further, has memory characteristics such that it can be shaped into various configurations and can travel through water and remain in a set configuration. When a fish strikes the lure the body portion will flex reducing the fish's mechanical advantage to help maintain the fish on the lure.
