Jesus Fishing Lure Scores Big Catches

ORLANDO (EAP) -- Bass fishermen from around the country are gathering in Orlando this week to test out a new fishing lure which is shaped like Jesus on the cross. The lure includes a sound module which emits a whining noise and seems to attract fish by the droves.

Kim Willis, marketing director for Lawson Sports Products, manufacturer of the new lure says "This could be the most profitable fishing lure we've come up with in the last 10 years."

"I've never seen anything like it before," said Jimmy Houston, professional fisherman who tested a prototype of the new lure. "The cross shape causes the lure to twist around in the water, and in combination with the whining sounds the lure produces, it makes for the most effective lure I've ever used," he said.

"Even the baby smallmouth bass seem to go after it. I accidentally dropped one of the lures into my minnow bucket, and all of the minnows immediately swam towards it at the bottom of the bucket."
