PURPOSE: To provide an artificial bait hook for hiding the hook from an eye of the hook to a bent part by an artificial bait made to imitate an opossum shrimp, attaching a raw opossum shrimp only to the tip of the hook, eliminating troubles of attaching several opossum shrimps to the bent part of the hook, preventing collapse of the attached opossum shrimp and exposure of the part of the hook by its rapid removal.

CONSTITUTION: Artificial baits 11a and 11b are made of a thin and short tube made of a plastic having at least one slantingly cut end. One or more of the artificial bait hooks 11a and 11b are fitted to a fishhook 14 and the fishhook is covered with the artificial baits 11a and 11b from an eye 15 to a bent part 16 and a part ahead the bent part 16 is exposed.
