Abstract: A hook and torpedo head weight are inserted through a narrow passageway into a cavity shaped to receive the weight in a cast rubber simulation of a live bait. The hook protrudes out the passageway. A fish line attaching eyelet on the head protrudes through a pre-cast forward opening in the simulated bait lure. The bait lure is cast of rubberized material in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on the target fish and its environment. The head is molded in a variety of sizes and weights to match the fish component and to account for the versatility for fishing the lure in shallow or deep waters. The bait lure simulates the look, posture, and motion of the live bait.

Abstract: A plastic spoon bill, oval or circular in plan view with two angled thin faces which may be flat or curved, has a horizontal insert in the mouth of an artificial or natural bait fish. A pin through the bait fish body and through a hole in the insert secures the insert. A multiple pronged hook on a wire leader from the spoon bill is inserted in the underside of the bait fish. A weighted ballast attached to the hook is inserted in the underside of the bait fish. A live fish being hooked pulls the hook from the bait fish and the undamaged bait fish is reusable.
