ABSTRACT:
A bait snap for affixing a baited hook to a fishing line or the like so that different lures, hooks, and baits may be expeditiously transferred in the shortest amount of time. The device includes first and second legs which meet at an angle, the conjunction of which provides a nesting spot for a line from which the hook depends, the first leg extending substantially linearly, the second leg having a bend in it and extending into a third leg which passes through a middle portion of the bait snap and terminates in an upper portion. The first leg continues substantially linearly through the middle portion and upper portion and terminates in a curved section, the curved section extending into a fourth leg which generally is directed towards the second leg, the fourth leg or section terminating in a C-shaped clamp which serves to engage both the first leg and provide an access area for the third leg to nest therewithin for clasping engagement. The upper portion of the bait snap communicates with the fishing rod through a line and the contour thereof is such that free movement through the arcuate section of attachment is possible to minimize resistance, and assure that the line is not fouled in any manner. The angled lower portion from which the hook depends is so constructed that the hook and its attachment to the bait snap will not ride up or away from the intersection of the first and second legs.
