Claim:
A fishing jig, comprising: a hook having a shank and a barb which define a first plane; a head; a ring attached on the head at a point of contact located on the first plane; and a support which consists of two generally I-shaped prongs attached on the head and arranged away from the ring, the support being configured to support the jig in conjunction with a point of the head against a bottom of water thereby preventing the hook from contacting the bottom of water after the jig is cast into the water and maintaining the hook standing up in the water, a center line of the support being arranged oppositely to the ring across the head, wherein the jig has only three points of contact with the bottom of water after the jig is cast into the water and the hook is maintained as standing up in the water, and the barb is configured to be positioned above the shank when the hook remains standing up in the water.
