Abstract
Fishing jigs designed and configured to firmly hold natural worms during use. In some embodiments, a fishing jig includes a head, a shaft that tapers away from the head, and an impaler that pierces the entire thickness of the body wall of a worm. The cross-sectional size of the shaft proximate to the impaler is selected so that the body wall of the worm is taut when the worm is fully engaged with the fishing jig. In some embodiments, the impaler is angled toward the head of the fishing jig at an angle of 45° or less. In some embodiments, the fishing jig further includes a bumper on its bottom to assist with inhibiting a worm engaged with the fishing jig from catching on underwater objects.
