The present invention relates to a double jig hook that features linear shank(s), two barbed bends, an eyelet, and a jig head. The two bends are positioned at one end of the hook for catching the top and bottom parts of a fish's lip to maximize securement and success rates when hooking fish. The bends includes barbs at their terminal ends and extend in opposing directions. Further, at the other end of the hook, an eyelet is connected at an angle of 90, 45, or 30 degrees relative to the shank(s) wherein the other end of the hook also includes the jig head for attaching a lure or jig thereto. The hook or jig can be made from a single barbed wire or can be made using two wires that are connected to form a pair of shank portions and a pair of bend portions.
