Abstract:
1. A fishing rig comprising: a fishhook having an eye with an opening having a predetermined diameter, a sharp point extending in a direction generally toward said eye, a hook shank connecting said point and said eye, and a line-tie bend in said hook shank located between said point and said eye; a sinker having a bore extending therethrough; a fishhook connector having a first portion thereof embedded in said sinker, said connector having a second portion with a diameter smaller than said diameter of said opening in said eye of said fishhook, said second portion of said connector passing through said opening in said eye of said fishhook so as to movably attach said fishhook to said sinker; a fishing line passing freely through said bore in said sinker, one end of said fishing line being attached to said line-tie bend in said fishhook; a fishing bait impaled on said fishhook; whereby pulling on said fishing line causes said fishhook to change its position with respect to said sinker and thereby to change a location of said fishing bait with respect to said sinker.
