ABSTRACT:
A weedless hook apparatus having a regular fishing hook of a barbed type. A spring or other resilient member is attached at one end thereof to the front portion of the fish hook and a loop connected to the other end of the tension spring connects around the barb of the hook to hold it in place. A resilient cone shaped member is attached at the smaller forward end thereof to the spring and encircles the spring. The other, larger rearward end of the cone shaped member extends over and around the pointed portion of the hook when the spring is connected to the barb. The resilient cone will substantially prevent snagging of the hook when it comes in contact with weeds or other snags but when a fish clamps its jaws down against the cone, it will push the spring downwardly. Then as the angler sets the hook in response to such biting by the fish, the hook point penetrates the fish's mouth. In a second embodiment the resilient cone shaped member is eliminated.
