Abstract of the Disclosure A bait harness adapted to hold a bait in the form of a fish or fillet is provided for casting, trolling or jigging. The harness includes a clamp of highly resilient spring material bent to define a closed end with integral opposed sides con- verging to free ends biased to an abutting closed position for gripping the bait. In one embodiment, the clamp is provided with a pair of elongated arms, each fitted with a prong, pivotally mounted respectively at one end to respective free ends of the clamp to open the same when pressed into engagement with opposed sides thereof. This embodiment is used with an elongated skewer impaled lengthwise through the bait fish or fillet so as to extend from the extremities thereof and the bait is secured by mounting the clamp to the leading end of the skewer so that the free ends of the clamp when closed tightly grip the bait and when the arms are closed, the prongs penetrate the bait for additional gripping. The trailing end of the skewer carries a fish hook and the leading end will receive a fishing line. The clamp is designed so that, when closed, the skewer cannot be de- tached. Additional hooks can be attached to the clamp. In a second embodiment, also used with a skewer, the arm adjacent one side of the clamp is replaced by a buoyant artificial fishing plug attached to said side to provide for variation in fishing techniques. A third embodiment modifies the second embodiment by providing the fish plug with a trailing tail to receive a fish hook and a plurality of depending spaced pointed barbs. hook may be attached to the clamp, if desired. Securely attached to the arm side of the clamp is an elongated shank fitted with an angularly disposed prong whereby the clamp can be secured to the bait and the prongs on the arm and the shank and the barbs on the plug penetrate the bait to securely hold it in place. A skewer is not used nor needed with the third embodiment.
