Abstract
Abstract A fish lure comprising a solid elongated body having eyes at both ends for a line and hook, respectively. A pair of inlet openings extend through the body above and below the line attaching eye to a centrally disposed passageway. The passageway leads to a pair of outlet openings extending through the body above and below the hook attaching eye. As water is drawn through the openings and passageway it produces a turbulence within the body which causes the lure to gyrate, in all directions.
