ABSTRACT:
A fish hook for live bait includes a coil spring axially positioned on the fish hook shank. One end of the spring is fixedly attached to the shank adjacent to a barbed end of the hook, and the other end of the spring can be slideably moved along the shank as the spring is compressed and released. A flexible line is positioned axially within the spring and defines a looped end which is positioned adjacent to the barbed end of the hook. The looped end grasps and holds the bait adjacent to the barbed end and in an orientation which enables the bait to be in alignment with the shank. The positioning and orientation of the live bait with respect to the barbed end of the hook enables the bait to move in a natural manner during trolling and provides the hook with the characteristic of being weedless.
