    (31) When fishing lure body 1 is in a closed configuration, that is, attachment body 50 is within internal cavity section 10A of first shell 11 and within internal cavity section 10B of second shell 12, attachment protrusions 22A and 22B of internal cavity section 10B of second shell 12 will abut the outside surface of medial section 56 of attachment body 50. Attachment protrusions 22A and 22B, when abutting medial section 56 of attachment body 50, limit the movement of attachment body 50 within first shell 11 and second shell 12 in both depth directions DD1 and DD2.

    (32) The following description should be taken in view of FIGS. 7A through 8B. FIG. 7A generally illustrates a right-side view of fishing lure body 1 in an open configuration. FIG. 7B generally illustrates a right-side view of fishing lure body 1 in a closed configuration. FIG. 8A generally illustrates a cross-sectional view of fishing lure body 1 taken generally along line 8A-8A shown in FIG. 7A. FIG. 8B generally illustrates a cross-sectional view of fishing lure body 1 taken generally along line 8B-8B shown in FIG. 7B.

    (33) When fishing lure body is in a closed configuration, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B, internal cavity section 10A of first shell 11 and internal cavity section 10B of second shell 12 form internal cavity 10C.

    (34) First shell 11 and second shell 12 of fishing lure body 1 are connected via hinge 15. Hinge 15 in a preferred embodiment is a living hinge, that is, a flexible member made from the same material as the two rigid pieces (first shell 11 and second shell 12) it connects. Hinge 15 allows fishing lure body 1 to assume an open, or resting configuration (FIGS. 7A and 8A), or a closed configuration (FIGS. 7B and 8B). It should be appreciated that hinge 15, by default, will keep fishing lure body 1 in an open configuration, until force is imparted to close first shell 11 and second shell 12where locking tab 13 and securement tab 14 collectively secure fishing lure body 1 in a closed configuration.

    (35) Locking tab 13 is connected to first shell 11 via anchor member 27 which is connected to the body of first shell 11. Flex portion 13A of locking tab 13 is a living hinge, deformable in construction, or the likeallowing movement of locking tab 13 when force is imparted thereon. Flex portion 13A is also the portion of locking tab 13 that is connected to first shell 11, specifically connected to anchor member 27 of first shell 11. Extending from flex portion 13A is locking protrusion 13C and release portion 13B. First shell 11 also includes slot 26. Slot 26 provides a location for release portion 13B to rest therein, where release portion 13B extends beyond outer surface 11A of first shell 11 to provide for user access.

    (36) Securement tab 14 extends from, and is integral to, second shell 12, that is, securement tab 14 shares outer surface 12A and internal surface 12B of second shell 12. Securement tab 14 includes locking grooves 14A and 14B, arranged on internal surface 12B of securement tab 14 of second shell, and tapered tip 14C arranged on the terminating end of securement tab 14.

    (37) To secure fishing lure body 1 in a closed configuration, that is, to overcome the default configuration of hinge 15 (FIGS. 7A and 8A), first shell 11 and second shell 12 must be secured together via a locking mechanismlocking tab 13 and securement tab 14. Securement tab 14 of second shell 12 is arranged such that securement tab 14 passes into aperture 16A of housing 16. Tapered tip 14C contacts tapered portion 13D of locking tab 13, thereby flexing locking tab 13 in a direction towards hinge 15. As force is continually imparted on second shell 12, tapered tip 14C moves in depth direction DD2 until locking protrusion 13C will be seated within locking groove 14Aa partially closed configuration of fishing lure body 1. As further force is continually imparted on second shell 12 in depth direction DD2, locking protrusion 13C will slide out from locking groove 14A until locking protrusion 13C will be seated within locking groove 14Bthe closed configuration of fishing lure body 1. The aforementioned movements are provided by the tapered configurations of locking protrusion 13C; and, locking grooves 14A and 14B, as the tapered configuration allows these components to slide along their respective surfaces.

    (38) To release fishing lure body 1 from the closed configuration, force is applied to release portion 13B of locking tab 13, thereby flexing flex portion 13A to remove locking protrusion 13C from either locking groove 14A or 14B (illustrated in broken lines in FIG. 8B). When the locking mechanism is released, as described above, hinge 15 will unflex and return fishing lure body 1 to its default position, that is, the open configuration (FIGS. 7A and 8A).

    (39) The following description should be taken in view of FIGS. 9A and 9B. FIG. 9A generally illustrates a perspective view of attachment body 50, fishing line 110, and hook 120 attached to fishing line 110, further illustrating fishing line 110 secured within attachment body 50 in broken lines. FIG. 9B generally illustrates a perspective view of fishing lure device 100 having fishing 110 with hook 120 attached thereto.

    (40) Hook 120 includes line fastener 124 and barb 122, disposed at opposite ends thereof. Fishing line 110 is tied to fastener 124, securing hook 120 thereto. To attach fishing line 110 with hook 120 to attachment body 50, fishing line 110 is slid into slit 52 of attachment body 50 until fishing line 110 is resting within through-bore 51 of attachment body 50, preferably in a central location within through-bore 51. In a preferred embodiment, the end of fishing line 110 with hook 120 is disposed at upper end 50A of attachment body, specifically the end of fishing line 110 with hook 120 exits through-bore 50 from upper section 54 of attachment body 50, where the remainder of fishing line 110 which is attached to a rod and reel, is disposed at lower end 50B of attachment body, specifically exiting through-bore 50 from lower section 57 of attachment body 50.

    (41) Once fishing line 110 with hook 120 is secured within attachment body 50, attachment body 50 is seated within fishing lure body 1, where now fishing lure device 100 (the combination of fishing lure body 1 and attachment body 50) and fishing line 110 with hook 120fishing lure assembly 150, is ready to secure bait thereon, as shown in FIG. 1.

    (42) The following description should be taken in view of all of the aforementioned Figures. In alternative embodiments of fishing lure device 100, hooks 30 may not be present, such that fishing lure device 100 would function solely as a clamping mechanism device to secure attachment body 50 therein, as described, supra. Alternative, only one of hooks 30 may be present, where trough 34 would be alternative arranged on the back surface of the singular hook, that is, the surface opposite of barbs 33A and 33B of hooks 30.

    (43) The aforementioned components of fishing lure body 1 may all be comprised of the same material composition, preferably a plastic, polymer, or the like, so long as hinge 15 may still function as a living hinge. In alternative embodiments, hinge 15 could be a separate component that is affixed to first shell 11 and second shell 12. In further alternative embodiments, hooks 30A and 30B along with body 31 could be composed of a metal, or different material than first shell 11 and second shell 12. In even further alternative embodiments, barbs 33A and 33B of hooks 30 could be comprised of a metal, or a different material than first shell 11, second shell 12, and body 31.

    (44) It should also be appreciated that attachment body 50 in alternative embodiments may not include upper section 54, or upper section 54 may have alternative configurations instead of a frustoconical shape, e.g., domed, planar, etc.

    (45) It should also be appreciated that the locking mechanism of fishing lure body 1 may be inversely arranged on the respective first and second shell of fishing lure body 1.

    (46) Thus, it is seen that the objects of the present invention are efficiently obtained, although modifications and changes to the invention should be readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art, which modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. It also is understood that the foregoing description is illustrative of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting. Therefore, other embodiments of the present invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
