ABSTRACT:
A spindle bayonet fish hook apparatus and method includes lure engaging body (12) with two ends (14) and (16). End (14) is larger in circumference than end (16 and lure engaging body (12) is symmetrical along a longitudinal axis (18). Lure engaging body (12) includes a connection (20) for connecting to fish equipment, such as a fish hook (24) and the like. Artificial plastic worm (22) is attached to lure engaging body (12) by pressing the head (32) of artificial plastic worm (22) over end (16) and up to end (14) in one embodiment. Because of the spindle shape of lure engaging body (12), concentric adhesion forces result from the radially stretching and expansion of the artificial plastic worm (22) by the insertion of lure engaging body (12) within it. As a result, artificial plastic worm (22) increasingly resists removal from lure engaging body (12) in response to retrieval of casts and the like. However, when faced with sufficient force, artificial plastic worm (22) pops off lure engaging body (12), such in the instance as when fish hook (24) is set. Because lure engaging body (12) does not include hooks, screws, barbs and the like, artificial plastic worm (22) may be reused over and over since little or no gouging and degradation of the plastic of the worm occurs. In a preferred embodiment, head (32) of artificial plastic worm (22) is pressed beyond end (14) and into space (21) between connection (20) and eye (30) of fish hook (24). This allows the head (32) of artificial plastic worm (22) to collapse into space (21), further increasing the resistance to removal. In another embodiment, the outer surface of lure engaging body (12) is coarse or corrugated, not sharp or smooth, so that the concentric adhesion forces are amplified between lure engaging body (12) and artificial plastic worm (22).
