ABSTRACT:
A fishhook device includes a standard fishhook having a barb, bend, shank and eye. At least one piece of wire can be attached at one end of the shank of the fishhook, preferably substantially adjacent to the eye. The wire is biased by at least one biasing bend to an extended position wherein the free end is distanced from the shank of the hook, and can be flexed to a position wherein the wire is adjacent and substantially parallel to the shank. A retaining ring is positioned around the wire and the shank to keep the wire in the flexed position, and is the point of attachment for the fishing line. A loop in the wire is preferably provided substantially adjacent to the attached end as a guide for the fishing line. Movement of the hook relative to the fishing line will cause the retaining ring to slide over the wire to release the wire to the extended position, such that swallowing of the hook by the fish will be substantially prevented.
