Abstract
A bait securing means comprised of a helical wire coil including a means for securing one end of the helix to a fish hook eye by snap fit deformation of the wire. The dimension of the helix is calculated to allow the shank of a hook to pass coaxially through the coils and to permit a bait such as an artificial worm to be screwed onto the unsecured end of the helix so the helix will be completely enclosed within the end of the bait and a web of bait material greater than the diameter of the wire is present between the coils of the helix.
