ABSTRACT:
A needle which is particularly adapted for use by sport fishermen to catch game fish includes an elongated wire-like body. Ends of the needle body are shaped into points. An end barb is then formed immediately inward from each end point. The needle further includes a pair of spaced apart intermediate barbs positioned inward from the end barbs. The end barbs and the intermediate barbs each extend outward from the needle body in opposite directions respectively. During use, an end of a fishing line may be knotted about a middle portion of the needle body between the intermediate barbs. Then, the needle may be baited with an earthworm or minnow, for example, and dropped into a game fish containing body of water such as a lake or river to attract a hungry fish. When a fish strikes and swallows the baited needle, one of the pointed ends and end barb typically pierces the mouth of the fish. The end barb prevents retraction of the needle. The hooked fish then may be reeled in and landed.
