1. A fishing lure comprising an elongate body defined by an elongate body wall with a slot extending into the elongate body adjacent a proximal end of the elongate body to allow insertion of a portion of a lip into the slot, the body wall having a projection extending inwardly from and formed integrally with the body wall so as to extend into the slot, and a body arm formed integrally with the body wall being defined by one or more elongate openings which extend through the body wall so as to leave a portion of the body arm attached to the body wall and which will flex relative to a remainder of the body wall, the body arm being deflectable inwardly, the body arm being spaced apart from the projection by the one or more elongate openings, and
a lip having a lip arm which engages the projection extending inwardly from the body wall so as to form a catch to hold the lip in the slot, and wherein a portion of the lip arm is disposed adjacent a portion of the body arm such that pressing inwardly on the body arm causes the body arm to engage the lip arm and move the lip arm out of engagement with the projection to thereby release the catch.
