ABSTRACT:
The terminal tackle device of the present invention generally includes a body portion being open at each end and having an internal longitudinal channel connecting each end. The body portion has outer dimensions larger than the inner dimensions of the terminal guide of a fishing rod. A barbless bend segment is fully retractable within one end of the body portion. An end of the bend segment carries a sharpened point and an other end of the bend segment is linked to a flexible shank which is slidably movable within the longitudinal channel of the body portion. The shank is of sufficient length so that an eye carried at an other end of the shank extends outside of and from an other end of the body portion. A biasing element is carried within the longitudinal channel of the body portion and surrounds a portion of the shank to return the bend segment, after retraction, to a fully extended position.
