ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a baitholding device having a design which simulates a bait predator. The baitholder comprises a pair of complementary clasps, each of said clasps having an interior portion and an exterior portion. Each clasp further having an arcuate portion comprising a plurality of elongated bait engaging members having a plurality of raised cleats along an inner surface of each elongated bait engaging member for surrounding and holding bait without impaling said bait. The clasps also have a handle portion extending from each arcuate portion. Complementary hinge member portions extend from the interior portion of each clasp. Each hinge member portion has an aperture therein. The baitholding device further comprises a biasing member aligned along said hinge member portions and between the interior portion of each clasp. The biasing member urging the handle portions to diverge and urging the arcuate portions to converge. The complementary clasps are joined together by a hinge, the hinge is formed such that the complementary hinge member portions of each clasp are overlapped and the apertures of each hinge member portion are aligned. A fish hook is inserted through the aligned apertures of the hinge member portions forming a hinge shaft upon which the hinge pivots. The handle portions when pressed together cause the arcuate portions to open allowing bait to be placed therebetween. When the handle portions are released, the biasing member maintains the arcuate portions in a closed position. Bait is retained between the converging arcuate portions of each clasp without the bait being impaled.
