ABSTRACT:
A spring loaded fishing apparatus formed from an elongated resilient wire. The wire is sharpened at both ends and formed into a W-shaped member having a center portion forming an eyelet for attaching a fishing line. The W-shaped member is inserted into a compression sleeve which collapses the sharpened points on the outer legs toward the eyelet. The sleeve containing the compressed member is then inserted into a cavity formed in a fishing lure. In an alternate embodiment, the compression sleeve can be absent and the W-shaped member can be inserted directly into a cavity formed in the fishing lure, which collapses the sharpened points. When a fish strikes the lure, the resulting force on the fishing line pulls the member partially from the sleeve, or cavity, and the sharpened points of the W-shaped member spring outwardly to engage the mouth of the fish. The member can subsequently be easily removed from the mouth of the fish while minimizing injury to the fish.
