Abstract: A live-crustacean holding fishing device and methods of making it are disclosed. The device includes a clasp attached to a long shank fishing hook. The clasp has a shell grasping portion at one end and is attached to tubular stretchable hook-casing at the other. The hook-casing has an attached ring tab. A live crustation is attached by fitting the shell grasping portion of the clasp between the carapace and first segment of the abdomen, then stretching the hook-casing so that the ring tab fits over the shrimp's horn. This secures the live crustation to the hook, but allows it to live and swim freely thereby serving as a live lure. The clasp is either glued to, or molded around, the shank of the hook. The hook-casing is secured to the clasp either by an adhesive or by lateral openings that fit over lateral protrusions on the clasp.

Abstract: A live crustacean holding fishing device is disclosed. The device has a clasp secured to the shank of a fishing hook in a proximity of the start of the arcuate bight of the hook. A ring tab is attached to the clasp via a stretchable hook casing. The components of the fishing device are sized and shaped such that a shrimp may be attached by passing the ring tab over the horn of the shrimp and stretching the hook casing so until the clasp is hooked under the armor plate shell of the shrimp, thereby securing the shrimp to the device, but allowing the shrimp to swim freely.
