Abstract: An improved spinnerbait and buzzbait are assembled with a bent wire having a medial bend for securing to a fish line and a pair of legs diverging outwardly from the medial bend. A blade is rotatably connected to the blade leg for spinning movement of the blade. The hook leg eliminates the fixed molded lead head connection of a fish hook to the bent wire and substitutes a movable connection enabling replacement of the fish hook. A cotter pin style flexible bend in the hook leg defines a fixed leg portion and a free leg portion which are capable of being pinched together for receipt within the bore of a steel or non-lead head. An interference device resists movement of the head from the position over the legs of the cotter pin bend.
