ABSTRACT:
A fishing apparatus including a wire yoke designed to extend around the bottom of and to each side of a tail portion of a minnow. A straight bendable wire shank member is connected at one end thereof to the top end of one side of the yoke and extends substantially horizontally in use when attached to a minnow. This shank member is designed to extend through a tail section of a minnow. A downwardly extending member on the top of the other side of the yoke is provided for selectively holding the other end of the shank member from bending upwardly when disposed within such downwardly extending member, but permitting the shank member to bend downwardly and outwardly to become disengaged from such downwardly extending member such that the free end of the shank member, when unlocked, can be pushed through the tail section of a minnow and then locked into place under the downwardly extending member. A hook is connected to the bottom of the wire yoke. In use, the aforementioned structure is typically tied by a flexible member between the yoke and another hook extending through the mouth portion of a minnow or other bait fish.
