ABSTRACT:
The present discovery provides an improved spring loaded fishing hook. In one embodied form, the hook comprises two hook arms which have a shaft portion, a barbed portion and a bend portion. The hook arms are rotatably attached to one another at the end of the shaft away from the barbed portion of the hook arms. A coiled spring is provided with arms, one of which is rotatably attached to each hook in such a way to allow the force of the spring spread the hooks apart when the spring is activated. One of the hook arms has a pivot located above the bend portion of the hook arm which pivotably connects the barbed portion and the bend portion to the shaft portion of the hook arm. The bend portion of each hook arm is located equally distant from the top of the shaft of the hook arm so that when the hook arms are in the activated position the bend portions are in alignment.
