Abstract:
1. A weedless fishing lure, comprising: a) a body having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a cavity therein; b) an axle being disposed in said body passing through said cavity; c) a hook being disposed in said cavity, said hook comprising an axle loop with an eye thereon at one end, a barbed portion at an opposite end of said hook, and a shank joining said axle loop and said barbed portion wherein said axle loop of said hook is rotatable about said axle, wherein said hook is rotatable from a first position internal said cavity to a second position external said body; d) a wall within said lure extending from a front of said lure to a rear of said lure defining an outer boundary of said cavity, a magnet embedded in said wall of said cavity and extending into said cavity proximate said shank of said hook, said magnet extending along an axis that is transverse to an axis of said axle, wherein said magnet attracts said shank and secures said hook in said cavity; and, e) a fishing line extending into said cavity through a lip extending from a forward end of said body to cause said body to dive deeper in said water column wherein the fishing line attaches to said eye of said hook whereby back pressure on the fishing line caused by a fish overcomes attraction of said magnet and rotates said hook from said first position to said second position external said body for hooking said fish.
