ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved retractable snag-proof fish hook system so that fisherman, whether trolling or fly fishing, may move their lure through any part of lake, stream, river, or other body of water without the hook of the lure becoming entangled and snagged upon underwater obstacles. The lure secures the hook within a chamber of the lure that is open to both the top and bottom surfaces of the lure. A biasing member forces the hook, which is pivotally secured within the chamber, against a stop wire so that only the rounded portion of the hook extends from the lure through the bottom opening. A barb located on the end of the hook is released from the chamber only when a fish bites onto the lure, pushing the rounded portion of the hook back into the lure, thus moving the barb end of the lure out of the lure and into the fish's mount, hooking the fish.
