ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for catching fish is disclosed in its most preferred form including first and second housing halves (14) of identical construction which are secured together. Troughs (26,28) are formed in the abutment surface (22) of each of the housing halves (14) for longitudinal slideable receipt of a leader (36). Intersecting ports (30,32) extend in a plane perpendicular to the abutment surface (22) of each housing half (14) radially spaced from the longitudinal center axis of the housing (12). Hooks (46) are pivotably and slideably mounted on a head (40) of the leader (36). The leader (36) is longitudinally movable from a bait/stowed condition with the hooks (46) extending at an acute angle to the leader (36) generally within the port (30) and within the outer surface of the housing (12) and a retention condition with the hooks (46) extending at an acute angle to the leader (36) and extending from the port (30) beyond the outer surface of the housing (12). The leader (36) is biased into the bait/stowed condition by a spring (62) sandwiched between a stop (42) on the leader (36) and a cap (54) threadably secured to the housing (12). When the cap (54) is removed from the housing (12), the leader (36) can be moved longitudinally from the retention condition to a release condition where the hooks (46) extend at an obtuse angle to the leader (36).
