Abstract: A fishing jig able to hold a baitfish, the jig including a primary shaft having a fishing line attachment end and a bifurcated free end, the free end supporting opposed hook assemblies in a manner such that each hook assembly is offset from the primary shaft. The primary shaft is preferably long enough for the jig to be able to skewer a baitfish, to thereby hold the baitfish generally centrally, with the attachment end projecting out of the baitfish at or near its head and the bifurcated free end (and opposed hook assemblies) projecting out of the baitfish at or near its tail.
