Abstract
A baitfish rigging device is provided. The device is comprised of a combination bridle and rigging needle for attaching live baitfish to a fishing line. The device features an open loop latch with a bridle needle at one end for piercing the baitfish, which is secured in an oblong-shaped bridle cavity loop. The loop is designed to close securely after passing through the baitfish, preventing disengagement. The device also includes a fishing hook, which may be attached to the loop via an interlocking link or a barb that grips the loop to prevent separation. Additionally, parts of the device may be encased in protective materials like polyolefin heat shrink tubing or reinforced epoxy resin to shield against corrosion and damage from toothy game fish.
