Abstract
The invention provides a soft bodied bifurcated frog-like lure. The lure is created by spreading the individual hooks of a double hook apart and threading soft bodied plastic baits over the points of the hooks and onto the shanks of the hooks. When the hooks are allowed to spring back together the parts of the soft bodied plastic baits that are threaded on the hook shanks are compressed between the shanks of the two hooks and locked in place. The baits can be replaced by reversing the procedure to remove the old baits and then threading the new baits onto the shanks of the hooks. The addition of weed guards to the hooks adds to the frog-like shape of the lure.
