ABSTRACT:
A fishhook mounted for pivotal movement so as to be able to avoid entanglement with weeds or trash, this novel hook having an eye where a fishline may be attached and an upper shank portion extending at an angle downwardly from the eye. The hook also has a lower lure-receiving shank portion integral with the upper shank portion, with the upper and lower shank portions meeting in a curved shoulder portion forming an acute angle. This construction enables the lower shank portion to reside in a generally horizontal position when a lure has been inserted upon the lower shank portion with the head of the lure residing close to the curved shoulder portion and the hook is suspended from the eye. The end of the lower shank portion remote from the shoulder portion is provided with an upturned portion terminating in a point having a barb thereon. The eye forming the support for the hook and lure is normally located upwardly and forwardly of the lure, thus making it possible for the lure to weathervane, and face forwardly in a realistic manner. The weathervaning occurs whether the hook is utilized in an upright position with the lower shank portion of the hook inserted into an upper part of the lure, or the hook is utilized in an inverted position and the lower shank portion is inserted into a lower portion of the lure.
