ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure is provided which is snag-free and equipped with pivotted hooks retracted elastically within the body of the lure and movable outside the lure by action of a fish biting and pulling thereon. The lure comprises a body portion having a plurality (preferably four) hooks pivotally mounted therein and movable between a retracted position within and an extended position outside said body. The hooks are normally held in the retracted position by suitable elastic means, such as a rubber band, and moved to an extended position outside the body portion of the lure by longitudinally movable actuating means secured and guided in the body portion and actuated by a fish biting and pulling thereon. The fishing lure is particularly characterized by the fact that the hooks are always biased elastically toward the retracted position and at no point are spring-loaded outward and further in the particular features of construction that permit simultaneous actuation of four fishing hooks.
