Abstract: Fishing tackle (10) constructed in accordance with the principles of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and configured for coupling to a fishing line (L) to secure a lure (B) thereto for catching fish is disclosed. The illustrated fishing tackle (10) broadly includes a fish hook (12) operable to be coupled to the fishing line (L), a bait-attachment clip (14) coupled to the hook (12), and a flexible sleeve (36) slidably received on the hook (12) and configured to removably couple the bait-attachment clip (14) thereto in an operative position. The bait-attachment clip (14) is configured for quickly and securely clamping the bait (B) to the hook (12). A preferred alternative embodiment (100) is also disclosed wherein the clip (104) is integrally formed with the hook (102) and thus does not utilize the sleeve (36).
