ABSTRACT:
An improved weighted jig is disclosed having a fishhook with an elongated shank having first and second ends; a U-shaped hook secured to the first shank end. A shoulder is attached to the shank second end and extends generally perpendicularly from the shank. The shoulder is formed by a member having two ends and connected at one of the ends to the shank second end and folded back on itself. An eyelet for connection of a fishing line, is formed at the point of folding of the member back upon itself. A locking device is secured to the shoulder, the locking device being movable between a locking position and a release position. A weighted jig head comprising a body having a top and bottom and an axial bore therethrough is adapted to be placed on the hook such that upon placement of the locking device in the release position, the weight may be slid upwardly on the shank into contact with the shoulder at the top of the weight whereupon the locking device may be placed in the locking position releasably retaining the weight in place. The jig may also be configured with a spinner.
