A fishing hook has a shank, hairpin loop portion formed at an end of the shank, and a fastener at an opposite end of the shank. The hairpin loop portion extends downwardly from the end of the shank. The hairpin loop portion is flattened and has a width less than a diameter of the shank. The hairpin loop portion has an end extending away from the shank. The shank and the hairpin loop portion define a line-receiving slot therebetween. The fastener selected from the group consisting of a hook, a ring clip, a lobster clasp, another hairpin loop portion, and a weight.

A pivoting fishing jig is provided. The device includes a jig body having an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is pivotally affixed to the lower section at a first end of each of the upper section and the lower section. The jig body is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A first hook is affixed to a second end of the upper section. A connector is affixed to the first end of the lower section, wherein the connector is removably securable to a fishing line. In some embodiments, a notch is disposed along an interior surface of the lower section, wherein the notch is dimensioned to receive an interior edge of the upper section therein when the jig body is in the closed position.
