          tail, and a body extending therebetween, said body comprises a                    
          back surface and a lower surface, and has a cavity defined                        
          therein; and                                                                      
                a rigging harness configured to couple said lure to a line,

          eye loop extends through the fishing lure such that said eye-loop                 
          extends outwardly from said lure mouth when said rigging harness                  
          is coupled to said lure, and such that said at least one loop                     
          extends outwardly from an outer surface of said lure body when                    
          said rigging harness is coupled to said lure.
