Abstract: A bait harness structure is shown as having: (a) a relatively forwardly disposed portion, which is disposed at an angle inclined with respect to the vertical, for securing thereto suitable loop-like attachment means by which a related fishing line can be secured to the harness structure; (b) a relatively rearwardly disposed portion also inclined with respect to the vertical and effective for carrying a fishing hook thereon; and (c) a forward upwardly directed bait impaler and a rearward upwardly directed bait impaler inclined toward each other and effective to secure thereto, as by impaling, related bait whether of the natural or artificial type. The configuration of the forward disposed portion can be functionally altered as by the operative attachment thereto of any selected spoon-like member.
