1. A fishing hook assembly comprising:
a jig head; and a hook element defined by a shaft, the shaft including a barbed tail portion and a head portion located at a generally opposite portion of the shaft relative to the barbed tail portion, the head portion including a first portion extending through and embedded within the jig head and a second portion comprising a rail portion exposed externally to the jig head, the hook element including a shank portion extending proximally from the head portion to the barbed tail portion, wherein the first portion of the head portion of the shaft includes an elongate straight portion, wherein the straight portion extends distally from, and has a common longitudinal axis with, the shank portion, and wherein the first portion and the second portion define a loop, wherein a first end of the second portion extends from a distal portion of the straight portion of the first portion and an opposite second end of the second portion forms a junction with a proximal portion of the straight portion of the first portion at which a transition is defined between the straight portion and the shank portion, and wherein the distal portion of the straight portion is spaced apart longitudinally from the proximal portion of the straight portion, wherein a line-pass-through area is defined by an interior area extending between the rail portion and a first surface of the jig head opposite to and directly facing the rail portion, and wherein the line-pass-through area defines a first cross-sectional area which is substantially larger than a cross-sectional area of the shaft, and wherein the first surface of the jig head is convex.
