Abstract: A fishing rig for use in catching fish is described herein. The fishing rig includes a leader that extends between a first end and a second end, and a plurality of bait elements that are coupled to the leader. The plurality of bait elements includes a first bait element that is coupled to the leader and is oriented between the leader first end and the leader second end. At least one second bait element is coupled to the leader and oriented downline of the first bait element along the leader such that the first and second bait elements display a schooling-type action to facilitate attracting fish to the fishing rig.

Abstract: A bait clip may be used with a fishing lure. The fishing lure has a weighted body. The weighted body includes a groove which extends at least partly around the weighted body. The fishing lure is adapted to be inserted into bait. The bait clip includes a clip portion and a face portion. The clip portion has a first leg and a second leg extending from one end of the clip portion. The face portion is rigidly fixed to the one end of the clip portion. The face portion has a surface which outwardly presents an image. The face portion defines a plane. The plane is generally perpendicular to the first and second legs. The clip portion is configured to be inserted around or through the bait pinning at least a portion of the bait within the groove.
