ABSTRACT:
A bait-retaining fishhook includes a metal fishhook having an elongated, curved body with a line-retaining eye at one end and a point at the other end and a bait retaining member attached thereto. The bait retainer is an elongated piece of flexible thermoplastic material such as monofilament fishing line attached at one end to the body of the hook adjacent the point, the other end of the line extending away from said body portion. When bait is placed on the fishhook, and particularly when force is applied to pull the bait from the hook, the bait retaining member is separated from the body portion and inhibits removal of the bait from the hook. The assembly is made by heating the hook above the softening point of the line and touching an end of the line to the heated hook, thereby melting the end of the line onto the hook body, forming a secure connection.
