An improved fishing lure which comprises a main body which has a baitwell. A body bore extends through the main body and is sized so as to permit a desired gauge of fishing line to pass therethrough while still having sufficient clearance, between an exterior surface of the fishing line and an inwardly facing surface of the body bore, to permit a desired flow of water through the bore and into the baitwell. A removable cover releasably seals an open end of the baitwell. The removable cover has a baitwell bore which is sized so as to permit the desired gauge of fishing line to pass therethrough while still having a sufficient clearance, between the exterior surface of the desired gauge of the fishing line and an inwardly facing surface of the baitwell bore, to permit a desired flow of water and bait therethrough into a surrounding environment.
