An improved fishing device and method comprising a shank, a rearwardly located means for attaching fishing lines, one or more forwardly located fishhooks, and a forwardly located bait restraining means, such as a forward-facing hook. The device is preferably inserted, rearward end first, into the mouth of a bait fish such that the rearward portion and bait restraining means lie within the bait, and the fishhook or fishhooks protrude from the point of insertion. The bait restraining means is then engaged with the bait such that when the device is pulled in a forward direction by a fishing line, the bait remains secured to the device yet is substantially uninjured and unimpaired by the device.
