ABSTRACT:
Fishing tackle for releasing a hook or lure which has become snagged on an out-of-reach object. The fish hook release includes inner and outer sleeves. The sleeves extend from each other and are urged toward their retracted position by a spring. A hook or lure is attached to an end of the device along the spring axis and a fishing line is attached to the other end of the device. To release a snagged hook, the user pulls on the fishing line to extend the spring and the sleeves. When the user releases the line, the spring pulls the sleeves together. The sudden impact, when the sleeves reach their fully retracted position, imparts a blow to the hook to release it from the hooked object.
