ABSTRACT:
A fish hook having two hooks which are movably secured together to move in a scissors like fashion, a spring portion that can forcibly seperate the point and barb parts of the two hooks, and a trigger safety adaptation is disclosed. The two hooks are brought together parallel to each other then the spring portion is flexed to form an acute angle with the two hooks. In this position the two hooks will not seperate unless a force is introduced to change the angle of the spring portion and the two hooks. During fishing the force will be supplied by the fish biting and slightly tugging the bait. Once the fish hook is activated the two hooks forcibly seperate thereby catching the fish. The double hook design practically eliminates the chance of the fish getting loose by vigorous movements. To eliminate the chance of the fish hook being activated by the vigorous motion of casting and hitting the water surface a safety adaptation is devised. Placement of a water soluble tablet in the adaptation prevents unwanted activation of the fish hook. In the water the water soluble tablet dissolves thereby rendering the fish hook ready to be activated.
