ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure apparatus includes a housing which includes an interior channel located along a longitudinal axis. A rear portion of the housing has an outer width and includes a predetermined number of slots. A shaft assembly, extending through and supported by the interior channel, is adapted for being located in the interior channel in either a locked position or an unlocked position. A hook assembly includes a predetermined number of hooks, and the predetermined number of hooks is equal to the predetermined number of slots. The hook assembly has an outer width which is less than the width of the rear portion of the housing, whereby the hook assembly is protected by the rear portion of the housing when the hook assembly is in a protected mode in which tip portions the hooks are nestled in or retained within the slots. A spring assembly, supported by the housing, is in contact with a spring-contacting portion of the shaft assembly. When the spring-contacting portion is moved along the longitudinal axis toward the front portion of the housing, the shaft assembly can be placed in the locked position. The spring assembly st potential energy. A trigger assembly, connected to the housing, includes a fish-strike-receiving portion and an unlocking portion which releases the shaft assembly from the locked position permitting the shaft assembly to move to the unlocked position, whereby the tip portions of the hooks are exposed to the interior mouth tissues of a fish.
