ABSTRACT:
What is described is a hollow fish hook with a flexible, retractable wire barb made from stainless steel wire. The same wire is long enough that it passes through and external to the hollow fish hook and is used to retract the end of the wire comprising the barb so that the hook may be easily removed from the mouth of a fish. A leader wire is connected to an eye of the fish hook. Spaced apart from the fish hook and attached to the leader and to the barb retraction portion of the wire are indicator pieces. When the barb retraction end of the wire is pulled the two indicator pieces come closer to each other and touch when the wire barb is fully retracted inside of the hollow fish hook. This provides a visual indication of when the barb is fully retracted. There is also a stop element that limits how far the wire barb can protrude from the fish hook.
