A variety of fishing lure assembles are disclosed which can hold a live worm on a skewer or in a clamp. A powerbait and a standard lure embodiment are disclosed, wherein all embodiments can enable the hook to be several inches away from the bait. When the fish bites the bait and swims away, he drags the invention down to the hook and gets hooked. Many options are provided the fisherman to either lock the invention fast to the fishing line or provide for the sliding action.
