Abstract

A two-piece fish hook assembly for combination with a rigid lure having a passageway, open at both ends, extending therethrough. A first section of the assembly has a hook at one end and extends through a shank portion to the opposite, terminal end. The other section has an eye at one end for attachment of a line or leader, and extends through a shank portion to the opposite, terminal ends. The hook assembly is assembled with the lure in a permanent manner by inserting the shank portions of the eye and hook sections into the forward and rear ends, respectively, of the passageway. The two shank portions have engagement means in the form of angled teeth on their surfaces which may be slid over one another to bring the shank portions into overlapping relation within the passageway, but which lock the two sections of the assembly together and prevent disengagement thereof from the lure after insertion.
