ABSTRACT:
A device for retrieving fishing equipment, such as a hook, which is snagged includes a monolithic body having a forward end portion and a rear end portion which are in the shape of tangent ogives. A central bore is defined through the body for accommodating a fishing line on which the device will ride, and a slot intersects the bore to permit that fishing line to move into the bore. Slotted lock rings are positioned in grooves to lock the device to the fishing line. The lock rings are sloped so that a smooth, uninterrupted curve is formed from the forwardmost end of the device to the rearmost end of the device even when the lock rings are in place in the grooves so that no discontinuities are formed which may tend to cause drag on the device as it moves through the water toward the snagged equipment.
