Abstract An easy-on fish hook and lure clip of the weedless type comprising a continuous length of spring steel wire bent in to touch in such a manner as to present the appearance of a figure eight having a small upper narrow loop adapted to receive a fishing line and facilitate tying of said line thereto and a larger wider lower loop adapted to receive a fish lure in such a manner so as to allow the lure to work freely from side to side to attract a fish, the free ends of the clip being of generally V-shape and each forming an upper narrow loop which upper loops are superimposed so as to lie in generally the plane of the large wider lower loop, the upper loops being adapted to be sprung apart to receive an eye of a lure over one said free end so that it can be slid down the wire past the normally touching portions of the wire so as to be retained in the wider lower loop, the fishing line being adapted to be attached to the upper narrow loop by pushing a portion of the line through the top end of the clip between the planes formed by the free ends of the clip, wrapping the line several times around the upper narrow loop and then pushing the loops of line so formed off the upper loop of wire up over the top of the clip and pullng the line tight to form a no slip knot.
