ABSTRACT:
A fishing implement arranged for attachment to a reel-line and for attaching a fishing hook assembly is disclosed including, in the preferred embodiment, an L-shaped wire member having first and second legs. In the preferred embodiment, a reel-line attachment loop is formed at the junction of the first and second legs by twisting a length of spring wire forming the L-shaped wire member. A swivel attached to an attaching loop on the second leg is provided for attaching the fishing hook assembly to the fishing implement. A sinker having a substantially snagless shape is attached to the first leg. The first leg extends in a substantially tangential manner from the sinker. Due to the location of the attachment loop forward and above the sinker, and also the snagless shape of the sinker, the fishing implement is able to rock to a secondary position having a greater vertical orientation such that the fishing implement is able to raise itself over and dislodge itself from obstructions.
