ABSTRACT:
The fish-hook assembly comprises an elongated frame bar to be secured at its rear end to a fishing line. A trigger arm is pivoted at its center to an intermediate section of the bar and is biased by a first tension spring in counterclockwise rotation. A first upwardly-curved hook is pivotally secured to the bottom end of the trigger arm and extends forwardly and is slidably mounted in the front end portion of the frame bar. A second hook is pivotally mounted at the front portion of the frame bar for pivotal action about a plane parallel to that defined by the first hook. A second tension spring biases the second hook in counterclockwise rotation, that is forwardly when rearwardly positioned in set position where it is upwardly curved. The top end of the trigger arm defines a transverse tab engageable in a longitudinal slit made in the second hook for retaining the latter in its set position. When a fish bites a bait secured to the first hook and pulls the latter against the bias of the first spring, the first hook slides forwardly, bringing the trigger arm in clockwise rotation. The arm tab thus disengages from the second hook slit, and the second hook yields to the bias of the second coil spring and pivots forwardly counterclockwise to impale the head of the fish.
